Clothing expenses after surgery

[linda305 173]

Haven't had surgery yet, but i wanted to know does it get expensive when it comes to buying clothes after surgery. Because I'll be losing weight fast, I'll have to go shopping constantly. Which i would love but I don't got it like that. Lol

thrift stores, ebay, etc. -- they are lifesavers!

and, I'm going to sell some of the dresses I've shrunk out of at the local consignment store, so I can recoup some of that $$

I am very very fortunate to have a co-worker who had gastric bypass in May who has given me all of her clothes so I have from 24 down to 14s already. I will need to buy some 26/28 because I currently am a 30/32 but not sure how long I will even need them. Once I am done with a size we agreed to donate them to a woman's shelter here. I had an Aunt pass away due to abuse so it is an important cause for me. Our local WLS support group has a clothing exchange so you may want to check into that.

If you went up in weight you should have those clothes. Otherwise target is a good place to buy inexpensive clothes. I have smaller clothes but shop at target if I need something. No brand names yet.

It's not expensive. I shop a a thrift shop and sometimes the cutest stuff will come in but be a size or two too small, but I get it anyway because I'll fit it soon enough. Also, I don't need a LOT of clothes in each size. I have one pair of jeans that fit me well and a few pair of other pants. I have three really cute tops and several "ordinary" tops... I wear the cute tops each one day a week and wash them.. I don't worry about wearing them out because they'll be too big before they fade from over-washing!

I go to a .25 cent thrift shop, about every 2 weeks. After clothes to big I pass them on to friends and family, or Goodwill.

There is a clothing exchange forum on here a lot of people with name brand clothes wanting to pay it forward.
