Need to buy new clothes



Recommended Posts

Don't go too nuts! You're down 3 sizes in 3 months and it's only May. I have as feeling that you'll be down a few more sizes by the end of the summer. Go to garage sales and salvation army type stores. I made the mistake of buying clothes every time I hit a new size. I have boxes and boxes of "fat clothes". Some of them I shrunk out of before I ever got a chance to wear them. I hit a plateau and figured I was as thin as I was gonna get so I loaded up on size 14's. Well all of a sudden I started losing again and am now a 12. Not going to shop anymore until I'm a 10!

So I'm down 30 lbs and 3 sizes...yeah me!!! So now its time to buy new clothes for summer. I can't wait! I have always hated to buy clothes but now i'm kind of excited. Maybe I'll even get a bathingsuit that's not aswim dress.:rolleyes:

So for others who have had to get new clothes, where did you shop? I don't want to spend too much money but I do need to wear nice clothes for work.

I like Penny's 70% off rack, Good Will-also our support group has a giveaway once in the Fall and in the Spring-people bring their outgrown clothes and exchange them for others.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
