BELTS WILL BECOME YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!! THEY HELP WHEN YOU ARE IN BETWEEN SIZES AND THEY LOOK GREAT!! I HAVE NOT WORN A BELT IN PROBABLY 15 YEARS AND NOW I WEAR ONE EVERY DAY JUST BECAUSE I CAN. WOO HOO ON THOSE PANTS BEING TOO BIG FOR YOU NOW!!

WooHoo on the Saggy Butt! 

I've got to get me some more belts too.  I don't even know where to shop for them!  I have worn so few belts in the last decade.....this is a really strange new world.

Gotta share my "flashing" story - the first time I truly felt the effects of this weight loss were when I was in the middle of this really nice men's clothing store here in Edmond.  I could feel my underwear starting to slide down.    By the time I walked through the parking lot to my car - they were totally off my hips.  Thank goodness I wasn't wearing a skirt!!!  I hopped into my car and looked around carefully to see if anyone was looking while I had to reach my hands down into my pants and pull up my drawers. 

I can so relate. Luckily I am a major bargin shopper and while I will do many things used undies of any form is a no no.  So when I saw 3 packs of them on clearance for 2 dollars back last fall a couple months before my surgery I bought a couple of different sizes. So I have a few to undergrow into.

Sarah~  It took me a while to grow attached to clothes again because of how fast I grew out of them, but I just wore belts (as some of the previous posters mentioned) and dealt with the in-betweens.  Now, at almost 5 years out, I loves me some clothes shopping!  That's my fun!  Heck, I still shop on a lot of clearance racks, but I find the cutest items there :)
