Is anyone else tired of this?
All my clothes are TOO BIG! I think I have one pair of work pants that fit. The rest are at least one size too big. I got some dry cleaning back this week, and went to go wear some jackets and pants, and they are all too big now. I feel like I'm buying new clothes every couple of weeks, and when I go to wash them, they are already too big the next time I go to wear them.
If that's all I have to complain about, life must be good, eh? LOL!
I totally agree. I just went and spent $200 on new work clothes when I got back and half of them are already getting baggy. I feel like I've got this great new body but I can't ever show it off because I only have a few items that actually fit me.
I feel stupid complaining about it but really it drives me nuts. And I know my friends think I'm being dumb they think I should be happy about this but I really want clothes that look good on me.

Hello Everyone
I haven't posted to the November surgery board yet (I didn't know it existed). I totally agree with everyone on not having clothes that fit properly or fit very long! But I am probably behind all you guys as far as size goes so I would love to buy some clothes from someone looking to get some money back on their investments. I am desperately needing size 10/12 pants and size M/L tops. I just got a promotion at work and moving to a new location so I need to dress a little more business casual but I also need everyday clothes as well. I just took my load of 16's to a thrift shop that is going to benefit an organization that we belong to that benefits children that have life threatening illnesses (my daughter had leukemia but finished her 2 & 1/2 year treatment a year ago. My 14's are getting so baggy so if anyone would like to help me out I would appreciate it.
BTW you guys look like a great group, I am going to start posting here!!

I rejoice when I drop a size and have to buy new clothes. The only problem is that I haven't rejoiced for that reason in a long time. I say BRING IT ON! I'm ready to shop!
Wanda,
Every time I read one of your replies to posts you have said exactly what I'm thinking! I can just answer "ditto Wanda!" Good thing you live in Florida because when we both reach goal and have those tummy tucks, we'll buy out all the great clothes in our home states!!! Like you said: BRING IT ON!!!!
Kim,
There are some great sales now so I wish my clothing size was shrinking as much as yours is (but hope you don't shrink much more!!!). Many of the tops I bought earlier are now falling down on my shoulders and showing my bra strap and I could wear smaller clothing now if not for my tummy and muffin hanging over. My WLS surgeon said I should tell the Plastic Surgeon's office that I don't need to wait 18 months post op for my tummy tuck, etc. because I will be so close to goal. He thinks PS might remove 10 pounds of loose skin. I sure hope so!!!!! At that point, I'll be shopping like I never shopped before!!!! What a thrill!
I agree, most of my summer things are big, all the 10's are baggy. I went to a thrift shop for hospice care and got 13 pieces of designer clothing for $1 each! Some need alterations but I will get them done. Today we are having cool weather in NJ and I realize I have nothing to wear! LOL. Some of the stores are having sales and you can get fall items, I got a nice velour hoodie for $10 at Lord and Taylor! I got a great jeans skort there also for $10 that was originally $58. I will try consignment shops for fall things once they open for the season. I like to support the non profit ones. I would like a nice pair of jeans but will wait till I am not losing anymore...I really think I'm done, 90 lbs and below goal weight!
