I was lucky enough to have a surgeon who had a clothing exchange in his building. This was especially helpful in the beginning. All you has to do was take your old clothes you couldn't wear and change for things that fit. It has saved me a lot of money. Also I hit the Goodwill for a lot of things during my loss, you can find nice things there and not spend a lot of money. I didn't want to waste money on clothes until I get to my goal. I am close now. Starting at 248 at 9 months I am at 157, and feeling great.
