lol i started buying clothes in different sizes before i had the surgery. i bought anythign on sale at macy's that i liked that was in sizes smaller than i was currently wearing. i always buy off season and use coupons. my new obsession is going to consignment shops. i am in connecticut and we have some real great ones. i can buy beautiful clothes for a dollar or 2- some not even worn. i am 1 yesr post op and i have gone down 5 dress sizes- i have had more sucess now than i did inthe begining but i am also working much harder at the weight loss - not just depending on the band- i actualy work out every day and enjoy it- the first year i did not exercise as much as i should have.
keep going with your sucess
