I have some nice dresses I totally love, and will fit into again after I lose another 50lbs or so, and I'll probably miss them when I get to skinny for them. I think I'll get over it, though. :)

I kept all mine till I just about reached goal and then took an unbeleivably big pile of stuff to a donation place, it felt so good, I regretted all the money "wasted" but thought it was cool all the stuff I got rid of - and most of all all the closet space I now had.

I'm looking forward to new clothes...I have managed to wear designer clothes at my current weight which isn't an easy feat but I've always splurged on clothes and shoes. Anyways, I can't wait to fit into my favorite designers for real! When I get rid of my clothes, I'll sell them and easily make $600+ which will help me with my new wardrobe.

I am just about done 'shopping' for sizes in my closet. I will need to get new clothes soon. My question to all you shoppers, how do I pick a new style? I am not a 'clothes horse' and don't like to shop. But I don't want to buy crappy clothes and have a wardrobe full of clothes that i won't wear. I'm like Rootman, i'm enjoying my extra closet space!!

I'd appreciate some shopping tips! Thanks.

Ooh, this is my area of expertise. First question, how old are you and what is your personality like?

AWESOME!!! I am 51. Years old. I am very casual. I am building up a business in working with animals, mostly dogs. I go into people's home and help them with their troubled animals. I do NOT like to wear 'cutesy' animal shirts. So that's for work. Day to day I am a jeans & pretty top person. I have no clue where I should even start shopping. I was a lane bryant shopper.

Thanks!!

It kind of depends on your price point. I LOVE Nordstrom Rack, and I think you would have a hay day in there if you happen to have one near you. There's also Neiman Marcus Last Call. These are all the overflow of clothes from the huge expensive department stores at a fraction of the price. My boyfriend's mom who is in her 50's and sounds like is a very similar style to you swears by these stores. They have everything from jeans to dresses to suits to t-shirts and everything in between. Even skin care and shoes. If you don't have one of those let me know but if you do, try taking a look!

Do you have a Pinterest account? They have a fashion section and I have gone and "pinned" a bunch of cute styles I like. I'm a Lane Bryant shopper and am excited to be able to have an actual style, not just the clothes that hide my fat the best!

I also get great recipes on Pinterest!

      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?
