the best way to start is start with some good underwear and bras that fit and maybe some Spanx. go ahead and watch TLC's What Not to Wear. no grandma jeans. no white briefs. we want sexy stuff now. Checkout the Christmas ads. Goid luck

Yep. Went to Victoria's Secret a few weekends ago. It was great to buy one of their bras in the store and go thru the panties and pick out cute and sexy ones.

I decided to spend some time on Pinterest finding "looks" I love. That's helped me a lot. I'm an hourglass and learning how to dress for my body when I get to goal was a lesson I needed to get started on. I can't see myself ever shopping at forever21 or some "kids" store :P but I tend to dress in classics which all large stores will carry. Of course right now my everyday clothes are jeans and t-shirts from Walmart and target because they're getting big so quickly. But my point is, for me what I need help on is the style not so much the location.

Pinterest clothes shopping is a great crossover addiction that's actually guilt free! :)

GG -- you might actually check out Forever 21. I know you're often looking for transitional business clothes, and F21 actually has some offerings that are classier for the no-longer-21 crowd. They have a plus size section if you're still transitioning into mall sizes (although I think you're already there!), and their prices are good enough to be transitional. You can't build a whole business wardrobe there, but I think you might find a few key pieces at a reasonable price.

Really? I had no idea. Okay maybe I will! Thanks so much for the tip.

Following this thread and thanks for all the suggestions! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I actually enjoy shopping now. I hated it for so many years.

After shopping my own closet, donating 4 sizes of clothes. I am finally buying. My favorate stores are thrift stores. I can wear a M top and 8 pants. The clothes I'm buying are like new. All name brands and fit great. Thrift stores are great places to buy and save lots of money.

My favorite store is Steinmart for work clothes and NY and Co for jeans and cheap shirts. Also like Kohls and Bealls.

I am just looking to fit into all the clothes I still have in my closet that I haven't worn in years. My skinny clothes I call them. I am mostly a size 16, tight though, sometimes 18. I have size 14s and size 12s. Last time I wore all my 12s was about 75 lbs ago. And speaking of which, wouldn't you think that a 75 weight loss would drop me more than just 2-3 sizes?<br> But I do look forward to just shopping anywhere really and having the stuff I try on actually fit!

Sleever1203-I am like you! I have a closet full of clothes in 4 different sizes. Just excited to fit back into some of my faves.

      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.
