Swimming In My Clothes....

Hi all Well, i am -78 lbs since surgery and my clothes are literally falling off me. I look like a ragamuffin . I am on a very tight budget right now and don't want to keep buying clothes along the journey. Does anyone have any suggestions or able to point me in the right direction? Thanks all and God Bless...

I found some great business stuff at JC Penneys for 6.79 a pair... bought a blue pair, black pair & khaki pair of pants in my size & a black pair in one size smaller - to shrink in to - maybe this is a solution for you?

Susan, Have you tried finding people in your area who have outgrown their clothes after WLS! Clothing exchanges have been popular here. I haven't been able to get a lot of clothes but I just gave away a huge garage bag of summer clothes to another OH member!! Good Luck!! Summer

Goodwill is good and cheap, and try the clearance racks at Walmart or Target, you can get some great bargains. Check your local support group for clothing exchanges.

I am Goodwill girl myself....I got 2 pair of size 12 capri pants for $1.00. You can find just about anything in there. Lori 230/175/130

Hey Susan, What about garage sales, check the local listings and make a weekend of it. Most of them will say what sizes they have. I also try to buy two of what is on sale, with the second purchase a size smaller. Elvera
