I treat myself to one really nice fitting pair of jeans every - other - size. I wore my last size until my daughter told me they looked really funny and baggy in the legs and butt.....I love it .. I looked funny with a baggy butt, that's a first:lol:

You guys are **wonderful** and so creative, I am being a good student and taking notes, this is certainly a very big issue that without knowledge could cause me to walk around looking less than socially acceptable. Thank You once again.

The support here is amazing!

YES, a belt is a definite must.... make it a $7 cheapie from Walmart 'cause you'll be buying another one in a smaller size in a few months.

I bought a super cute not TOO expensive belt that I can barely get into. I had to put a new hole at the very end to squeeze it on. I LOVE it and plan on wearing it as long as I can through the process. I got it at Target for around $17. I will also take little V-tucks in the back of my pants until they look too ugly to wear. I went through my closet pre surgery to sort out cloths into sizes. I already gave a bunch away that I will not fit when the right season rolls around again... then I made a bag of cloths I love that are too small now and will be in the right season while I am losing... I will have to do this again later Im sure and give a bunch more away. I also have my own personal vintage "thrift store" to shop at... I have saved some of my favorite vintage cloths from when I was MUCH smaller around 30 years ago. They are in storage. I will 'shop' there after I loose weight just for fun and see if anything fits and looks any good. The 80's fashions are back so you never know!

I haven't had my surgery yet - December 1 is the day! I was sitting here having second thoughts, wondering if I'll be happy not being able to eat a huge delicious meal at a restaurant, or a giant slice of my favorite soft, fluffy coconut cake. Then I read these stories of fast weight loss, and going down multiple sizes, and a post on another thread from Tiffykins, and now I'm all geared up and ready to go again! Thank you - I can hardly wait!

Don't forget about the new right fit buttons at Walgreen's(they were on the infomercials). They can save you from buying jeans so much. For the ladies the attachment for your bra (from infomercial and at Walgreen's) is helpful in keeping your bra's longer.

Thrift stores are the best when you are going through sizes so fast. I totally scored a pair of Eddie Bauer jeans for $3 the other day lol. I am planning to stay cheap till I hit goal then look out! I will be a shopping fool!

I decided to order a few pairs of jeans online today in smaller sizes. Lane Bryant has everything buy one get one free. I can wear jeans to work so I firgured buying a few pairs at $20 a pair wasn't too bad. I definitely need to buy a belt.
