Am I An Idiot For Buying Clothes I Cannot Fit Into Yet?

If you're worried about scars then try a Vitamin K lotion (you can also get it in a prescription strength but it's pricey) but only for purple scars. Once they turn brown/pink then use Vitamin E. I have some intense surgical scars on my legs and went through the K and E routine and it helped a lot! The rest is just common sense. Like if you are in the sun you really need to put sunscreen on the scars. Trust me, sunburn on scars hurts.

So I took the advice and went to Goodwill last night. WHAT A GOLDMINE!!!!! You do have to search though. I got 6 pairs of pants and two sleeveless tops for under $50. There was 2 pairs of cargo pants, 3 pairs of Levi's 501s and one sort of olive drab denim Levi-like pants. It would have cost me a fortune. They are in varying sizes that I can't wear yet, but I was just looking for things I liked. The 501s are the 30" length I need. I hate to get pants shortened.

The best news is that I went into storage and found a bunch of size 16 stuff: 2 blue jeans, 3 cargo pants (all with tags still on), one pair of white jeans and 15 tops.

I also bagged up my size 18 pants, XL shirts and some shorts to go back to Goodwill. Good riddance size 18 stuff!

Ohhhh this post really hits home for me. My surgery date is 4/23 and I so want to start shopping for my cruise which is the end of October so around 6 months out. I wish I could have some idea of where I will be by then so I can start shopping now. It's so hard because it will be near impossible to find swimsuits, shorts, etc. in October. Oh how I wish I had a crystal ball. I would start buying some stuff now in smaller sizes but don't know if it will be too big or too small by October. Such a dilema!!!!

Don't sweat it too much. You know, now that you can buy so many things online these days, you will still find plenty of things. For used clothing in addition to thrift stores, there is also Ebay. I'm convinced that anything can be found there.

One of our surgeons called them "rocks in socks". That will be me I'm afraid. I can't wait to get there and will be saving for my reinflation.

My husband is very nervous that I'll lose most of the weight in my 44I (yes, that's an I) breasts. I'm kind of looking forward to fitting back into "normal" sized clothes by having a much smaller breast size. I'll take the "rocks in socks" over the "boulders" I have now.

44I - Oh your poor, poor back and shoulders. I didn't know "i" existed. I'm with you. I would like to have my B cup back. What is it with men. TMI, but why would they need more than a handful?

I used to be a 34b and I am right back there again. I am 5'5 and 138, I wear a size 4. Last time I was this weight (93) I wore a Juniors size 9--I'm guessing a ladies 6/8? not sure but sizing has changed.

I did the same thing Lil did and it was cool. I have gotten addicted to going lower but hubby is starting to complain about my bones and in shopping I see fewer size 2's and below. I think I will be slowing things down after this month.

I personally will stop at size 6 or 4. My doctor said that 110 should be my goal, but that would put me at a size 0 or a 2. I don't want to go there personally and my husband would start to complain. His lean self even liked me at my highest weight (go figure).

Curves are a good thing. Put the obsession in maintaining where you are and see if that works. Maybe some weight training to fill out with muscle?
