Where to shop?



Recommended Posts

I'm not quite there yet, but I'm getting down to the lower sizes at Torrid, Avenue, and Lane Bryant. Where did everyone shop for clothes at that in between stage, around size 12? I'm 34, so I need professional work apparel, but also fun age-appropriate stuff for non-work time. I know Maurice's carries a full size range, but honestly I've never shopped at "regular" clothing stores in my entire life. Advise? Thanks!

Macy's is great for suits, blazers, etc. for 14/16.

Hi,

Yes, Macy's has great clearance and sale items. I also spent a lot of time at TJMaxx and Marshall's (although I found I could get better deals on jeans at dept stores sometimes). I also found good deals at forever 21 (even though I'm way past that age). Also H&M. I like to dress fun and age appropriate too, so you can definitely find something there. Enjoy your journey!

Do you have a Belks? Their regular prices are ok but clearance prices can't be beat. And they have really cute clothes.

Congratulations on your fantastic progress. Isn't this a great problem to have!

For professional clothes I would look at Macy's as well as Boston Store if you have one. The have great prices on their clearance racks.

I have found a lot of great items at Macy's and JCPenney. Maybe the Dress Barn, too.

I love Lord & Taylor. They had a great selection of plus size professional clothes and now that I am in regular sizes I am like a kid in a candy store! So much to choose from and great sales too! I try other dept stores but always come back. I guess I am sort of sentimental that they support the plus sizes with great selection so and staying loyal to them now that I've gone up the escalator in my local store.

I should also suggest the brand Alfani's in Macy's. They are in the plus sizes AND the regular sizes!! Although, it sounds like you could shop just about anywhere in the regular sizes. Have fun!

      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.
