Wenbiggs 12 Posted March 7, 2012 I went to my check up today and I've lost 42lbs. My starting weight was 242 and I'm down to 200lbs. My biggest problem is buy some new clothes. I hate to spend the money, because I'm dropping so fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted March 7, 2012 I hated buying cloths too. But I did buy my first pair of Levi's at 2 months just because. Now they are way too big and I was spending a lot of time pulling them up. LOL Still am leary to buy new cloths because I need to loose 25 lbs. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAsleeve 56 Posted March 7, 2012 I hear you sister! I'm at my 7wk post-op point. I've lost 39lbs (well it is actually 41 on my home scale, but I'm officially going by my gym scale). I've got the clothes issue also. I just hate to spend $ on clothing if I'm only going to wear it for a month or less - as I expect to continue to drop sizes. But, I'm actually thrilled to have the problem. Let Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Old Navy be your friends! Keep up the good work -You loser!!!!!! You can call me a loser any time!

cissiesue 119 Posted March 7, 2012 I have a small stash of clothes that range from my current (22) down to a 16. I think I will fill in with some clothes from the new to you shop until I get closer to a goal...note if I could just decide in a goal lol. Can't wait to be on the losers bench with all you fine people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hadouni 301 Posted March 8, 2012 You go girl! I think I'm 8 weeks out and down 42lbs as well. I have lots of clothes to shrink back into so hopefully I can avoid shopping for a while. I think I'm good through size 14 although I may need some tops. My body is so different now because I've had a baby so things fit very different than they did on the way up. I'm thicker in the area between my hips and bellybutton line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
