When dou you start shopping clothes?



Recommended Posts

Hey Ladies,

Just checking in...actually bought more 'transition' clothes over the weekend, just so I'll have enough to mix and match. I've already got clothes that are two sizes too big (24's) so I'm preparing to either donate or EBay them...

I may donate them - there is a "Dress for Success" chapter not too far away from me, and I know business clothes for full-figured women are often hard to come by.

It's so much fun planning my new wardrobe - and I'm not even banded yet! Only 3 weeks to go!:thumbup:

Good Morning To Everyone. In reading everyone's posts, it's like writing in my diary. I myself need to buy clothes every three months. I agree and experienced a bit of what everyone wrote.

I'm trying to wait till the end of december, 2008 for my next shopping spree. Or maybe I'll save myself a few dollars and taken them in myself. For I'm wearing belts to hold up my pants now. I'm pretty much at goal weight, 30 lbs to go. I can now fit into my whitepants, zip and button them up and feel comfortable in them.

I was in denial about my weight loss,just couldn't believe I was actually losing. To buy fitted clothes then feel and see them get loose on you, is a great feeling.

Thanks for the idea of shopping at consignments shops. I forgot about them. I give my clothings to a womens' shelter. For they need mature womens' clothing a lot. I just gave them about 10 winter coats and a few winter pants, skirts and tops. That made me feel really good.

I just buy the basic colors, black, navy, gray and brown.

Don't deny yourself this feeling every 10, 20, 30 plus pounds you lose. It'll give you incentative to stick to you new life style.

I'm glad I found this thread. Let's keep inspiring each other and getting inspired.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
