Recommended Posts

I'm 35 and my go-tos are Modcloth.com and anthropologie, but I also find styles I like at banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy and Ann Taylor-Loft.

I'm 41 (sorry) but dress younger and I'm another LulaRoe fan. I also like H&M, Old Navy, and the modcloth site.

I have a hard time reconciling myself to inexpensive clothing.

Don't get me wrong- I buy inexpensive when I can, but as a young girl, and I can still hear her in my head now- my moms "lesson" was "If you can afford one silk dress or 5 polyester dress, always choose silk". Yeah it was the 70's so I guess we could say "cotton", but her point was not lost-

By the best you can afford.

Doesn't work so well with WLS patients though, since we change sizes so often!

My happiness lies is flirty, swilrly little skirts, some a little form fitting. Either way, I made an investment in a bunch at the beginning of summer, switching out tops here and there to change them up, and they have served me well. Likely get another 2 months out of them before weather forces them away. A few are really cute wrap around silk numbers.

So- I "supplement" with inexpensive tops and "splurge" on boutique bottoms.

Not spending the money on food, or eating out...

I'm in my 30s and mostly shop at thrift stores. Since I started I have a very hard time paying retail prices for clothing.. since I see all the popular brands at the thrift store for like $3-8.

I buy a lot of ann taylor / j crew / stuff that probably came from tj maxx.

I only have 40 hangers in my closet so if I buy something I get rid of something.

I just wanted to add something new to this thread. I've bought a lot of super cute, stylish clothes lately at Macy's. I love Mod clothes and have found 4 gorgeous Mod dresses there and even buying a pricey dress still costs less than buying a frumpy tent that I hated back in the day. So money well spent if only for a few months of pleasure! [emoji6]

I like Denim & Supply at Macy's. I've been really trying to shop but have a couple of events this month and had to do it. I bought a Marc Jacobs dress that's not ugly. I tried stuff on in Diesel tonight and I fit. They have nice things. But I'm really trying not to shop too much.

I wear a lot of leggings, tunics and riding boots. They are forgiving with the loose skin I have right now and as I shrink they do too.

Try ASOS! They have a huge range of styles and sizes. I've been living in their 'curve' range for years, they've been very forward thinking with plus size fashion. I'm looking forward to getting into their 'straight' sizes post-op though. They deliver worldwide.

I'm not sure if they have COS outside of Europe, but it's my absolute favourite. Interesting and stylish cuts, in beautiful fabrics, Scandi style. H+M's big sister brand.

Right now I'm a 14/16 and I'm shopping at Dress Barn for my work clothing mostly. For my casual wear I'm doing LulaRoe, American Eagle and Torrid.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
