Clothes shopping before surgery

[skmjs 34]

I have a gap/old navy Visa where for every dollar I spend (everywhere), I get rewards points for those stores. I had $60 in rewards expiring a few days ago so I went out and bought some XL stuff (I'm XXL/size 22 now). Didn't go crazy but it's fun to have a few new things - that I didn't have to pay for! - that I can size down into soon. (My surgery is in 5 days.)

When I had surgery, I was wearing a size 28 pant. I bought a pair of size 14 jeans right after surgery just for inspiration. They looked so tiny and I wasn't sure I'd ever get that small. I'd try them on occasionally. At first I could only get them on up to my knees but they slowly were able to get on more and more. It was a pretty awesome feeling the day I tried them on and they fit! Now they are getting loose and I'm able to wear a size 10! I wouldn't buy a bunch on small clothes, but a few pieces can really help to inspire you!

My goal was also a size 10... I am currently a size 6. I would be extra pissed if I bought a bunch of clothes that I could no longer fit. I personally wore clothes until they were literally falling off of me then I would go to Good Will and buy a pair or 2 of jeans that fit. If I had an event to go to that required me to look nice, I would buy something from the mall. When my weight loss seemed to stabilize/I didn't want to get any smaller is when I went out and actually started shopping.

Maxi skirts and dresses are my best friends right now. I am not investing in clothes just yet until I have to. I am going to soon have to buy a smaller bra ( did not see that coming but I will take it.)

@KristeLe and @"theantichick" chuckles about the uniboob. I just had to order new sports bras for workouts (a size smaller .) the uniboob is terrible in a bra to big.
