Might be an old topic but im sure you all might have something to write about shopping for clothing after loosing some lbs

At first it's exciting. .. then it gets expensive. Almost all of my tops are like tents on me now and I have to wear an undershirt to keep from being obscene! I go to Ross or TJ Maxx to get a new pair of jeans about every 3 weeks because I just can't wear my pants too big. I'm not spending a significant amount of money on one size of clothes until my weight loss starts to stabilize. In 9 weeks I've went from a size 20 to a 12-14. Pretty much wear the same pants every day and with a different tent on top.

Right it is expensive buying new clothes every few weeks I went down almost 6 sizes in 6 month but seeing myself in a smaller size every month gave ne the push to be extra good with my diet, and dont forget eating out and buying fast food was not a cheap lifestyle either

I like to shop at value village our local thrift store. Especially now as I approach my surgery I will mostly be buying stuff there as it won't be fitting long anyhow.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
