Did anyone buy skinny clothes before they lost?



Recommended Posts

Love it. And love a wrap dress. The good thing with them is you can wear them through a few different sizes- and it will still fit OK.

I continuously bought clothes before they fit as a "goal" dress or outfit. I only did this when they were on serious clearance, but I will say that I'm now kicking myself because I never thought I'd get this size (I've never been below a size 12/14 so didn't know what size my goal weight would correlate to).

I am still happy I bought the "goal" dresses because it made me so happy when I finally fit into them. I will now have to have them altered and sort of wish I would have bought a couple sizes smaller when it was like 60% off because now I need to buy a couple of new dresses for my upcoming vacation and will need to pay full price.

I'd say go for it!

I have a huge bag full of "skinny" clothes when I used to weigh 130 lbs in high school because these are super cute and super expensive outfits that don't really go out of style and I can't part with. I'm hoping to fit in them by summer or the end of summer :) Can't wait!

buy the dress!

I did that too. bought a couple of sexy jeans and can't wait to fit into them. I need to drop one size to be able to wear them. I shop all the time and try on clothes to learn about my progress, it is FUN!

      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.
