Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

This exactly my plan for work. They supply my scrubs so I can wear them in any size I choose. It's the hours off work I need to think about. Guess I will be hitting some thrift stores. I don't mind thrift store shopping but the plus size clothes always suck so I'm trying to hold off till I'm down a few more sizes.

I found a ton of pkus size clothes when I went but you have to try multiple stores! It is a lot harder to find bigger scrubs!

I am due for surgery in Feb but I shop resale. Goodwill and salvation army for me until I level out. I find Abercrombie, Hollister, American eagle etc for my kids and they look brand new. So I'm sure when I drop I will be able to find stuff for cheap

I will try harder. I've never looked for scrubs but now we have to wear kaiser ugly blue scrubs cause we do procedural sedation so they treat us like we are part of the operating room crew and we dress at work. I hate it but that will work in my favor for the coming months. I find cute stuff at goodwill for my kids as well so I guess even if I still can't find my size I can buy cute and wait to fit into it.

Honestly, I didn't fit into anything that I bought (on purpose). It was all tight or didn't fit at all yet! It will be interesting to see when I can fit into the stuff. :-)

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on new clothes, while I was losing weight. Wore some things until it looked pretty sad. I then found a lot of things in my closet, that I had forgot was there. I have a friend that gave me things she couldn't fit into. And I've also purchased some jeans that were brand new, with tags from Goodwill. Can't beat $4.99 for a pair of jeans.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
