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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
