I always see clothes that I would love to wear if I was just skinny. With my surgery scheduled in August, I'm hopeful I'll be able to wear those clothes in the near future! Anyone pre-purchase a goal outfit? Got pics?

I'm 3 mos out. I won't be doing this because knowing me I won't like the way the outfit looks on me. I'm very picky. I'd like to get a pair of sexy underwear though.

I agree with amytug. I can't wait to go shopping and try clothes on, but I won't be buying anything until I can try it on. I really look forward to going to places like Fredrick's of Hollywood and buying a sexy bra, underwear and lingerie!

I was too cheap to buy a goal suit. I went to Macy's and talked to the row of suits which were all too small for me. "I'll be back and one of you mugs will be mine!"

I went back about a month ago and got 2 suits, only they were farther down the rack toward the smaller sizes than the ones I was talking to.

No but my dream is jeans and shorts which is something I will not do now. When I had my surgery I told my husband if I freaked out before surgery or changed my mind to whisper "jeans and shorts" in my ear!!

I didn't do this, because I honestly don't know what size I will be at the end of this thing.. I just got 2 new outfits (my first new clothes because wearing my old stuff was starting to look like a little kid wearings dads clothes) and I was able to fit in a 36 inch waist jeans!! My old jeans are 42-44 inch.. I was soooo excited that I fit into them. I got 2 xl shirts which do fit, but are still a little tight right now.. They should fit great in a month or two though :)

Now that I hit the half way mark it is a bit easier to see myself fitting into a 32 inch jean one day.. but I will wait until I am there to spend the money.. that way I can see how awesome they look at the time of purchase.. :)

I have been every size ....I have a wide assortment from 11/12 up to size 30/32...I am in what I call my 'skinny closet'...clothes from like size 20 down that I haven't fit into in a lonnngggg time...I am in some of the 20 jeans, depending on fit. I hung a size 14 (my goal size) dress on the outside of my closet, so it is the first thing I see every morning. I want to be able to rock a little black dress again, and a red one, and a blue one...etc etc...

Best of luck to all of us with our goals!!!

Good point, we may surpass our goals! I dream of looking good in a little black dress, but then again, I buy so much black now to help me look smaller that I can't wait to add some color to my wardrobe!

This is not necessarily a "goal outfit", but one of my goals is to fit in this totally adorable dress that I bought and it was tight when I bought it and the one and only time I wore it. I cannot wait until it will be able to wear and "rock it"!

I buy a pair or two of jeans every month. I thought al my cute xxl sundresses would carry me thru summer but I was wrong. I'd wait to buy that outfit until you reach goal.

Ditto! Only my sizes will start from 26/28! I have some cute things that I bought for my honeymoon (19 years ago tomorrow in fact) which I never got to wear & some things even still have the price tags on them! So I am hoping to fit back into those clothes! Actually, I've even been having dreams of seeing myself in those smaller sized clothes too! It just makes me so happy!! Lets hope I don't freak out when I get a sleeve date! LOL!

I am 7 mos post-op and my goal weight was 150, last week when I weighed myself I was 131. So I would hold off until you are at goal weight and can stay there a couple of weeks. I purchased myself bra's from Victoria Secret's and two weeks later they were too big :( So I wouldn't go overboard till your able to maintain the weight.

Good luck :)

I only bought cloths that fit. I do have a few tops that are too big so I just layer my clothing. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
