I'm afraid to try on smaller sizes. Even though my clothes are bagging and falling off it scares me so much to try a smaller size.

I was like this in the beginning and everyone a like you need new clothes aimed I get the wrong size at the store because the bigger clothe are comfy but then I got home and my husband is like u should have went down a size

Uhm' date=' when I started I was a 24/26 pants and 2x top. After surgery the the sizes kinda just flew downward.. but let me tell ya it's great not to have to pay 50 bucks for a pair of pants in Lane Bryant!

I can shop anywhere! Clearance racks here I come!

I am currently a 12 pants m/L top and I have 30lbs to go![/quote']

I can't wait! I took the first step and "unsubscribed" from all of my Lane Byant communications yesterday! Will work on the other plus size clothing e-mails today

I think goodwill is going to be my best friend after surgery!

Mine also I love thrifting.

I have bought 3 dresses for my future self. Two of the 3 can be worn for a long time because they are maxi dresses. The other one I bought was $14.00 on clearance so I thought it was worth a shot. I have a skirt and 2 pairs of shorts from LL Bean that I have never been able to wear and I try them on every 5 to 10 pounds to see if they fit. I bought them in the size of all my other pants but apparently 20 means something else to LL Bean. Being pear shaped, pants have always been a pain to me. Lucky for me I love dresses. I need low cut jeans because i am so short waisted but the hips and booty always make me a flasher in the back. Dresses are much more forgiving!

I bought a couple of dresses at Old Navy in the clearance section and have been living in them this summer

I recently had to buy all new clothes at Torrid and Forever 21(jeans are 16 bucks!!!). I've gone from a size 24 to a size 16. I started freaking out when I realized that pretty soon I won't fit into Torrid sizes at all...it's like where the heck am I supposed to find cute flattering clothes? It's a brand new world...I'm not prepared for the transition from plus size to "normal" size.

I can't wait to be able to shop in forever 21 again. Lol hope I'm not too old for them now. I used to shop there in college before my weight issues 10+ years ago.

I went into Dress Barn back in May. They have plus size to the left and other sizes to the right. I stood there trying to figure out where to go! I felt like I wasn't allowed on the "other side." It was very weird and confusing. Flash forward to last week, I said "f it", walked into Victoria Secret and asked to be fitted for a bra. It was awesome! It has taken me some time to wrap my head around everything to where shopping is fun.

That's my grand prize a VS bra and panty set. My second is being about to shop where my best friend shops. She's about a size 12.

I don't think I'll get too small but if I'm at a 14 then I'm at my mark.

You will be surprised about where you end up...I told myself I would be happy with 14, but quickly moved past that to a 10! Much luck to you!

Ok Ladies I need some help. I love love love love to shop! On a recent shopping trip for some necessities for my 2 boys I decided that I will pick up some items for my post-surgery weight loss. I was looking to buy some clothes from a size 24 down to a 16. Just a few items nothing serious. As I was skimming through the smaller sizes I could not wrap my mind around that I may possibly be in those size 20' date=' 18, or 16 pants and found myself so stressed out that I said forget it and just purchased some summer items in my now size 24. Once I arrived home I was down in the dumps about not being able to wrap my mind around purchasing smaller clothing. Have any of you ladies ever had this happen? If so, how can I get past this?

Please inform me if I am jumping the gun on shopping as I will not be sleeved until Sept. 23.

Thanks for the advice,

I have decided to wait until post-op. I have a few smaller items that will work until I shop.

Once a month I go to the 2nd hand stores and get a few thing. You will actually only wear them for a month. save you money and gift cards for when your at your goal weight. I have gone from 18/20 to 10/12 in four months. I can't wait to go into all the stores my friends shop at and get cute clothes!

Ditto. Stores charge more for plus sizes, just think about the savings.
