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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
