I don't have squat to wear anymore....

Thanks so much for the directions Dawn, I went to the Goodwill and it was a mess just like I was told it would be. The sizes were all mixed in. They did have it seperated by gender but good grief, who wants to go through racks and racks of clothes with all sizes all mixed together? I hate shopping, always have and probably always will. I like Wal-mart but that's usually for household stuff. I just can't stand buying and trying on clothes, its so much of a hassle. I went to the Community thrift store and found a pair of pants, a blouse, and a dress that I liked. I can't believe I can fit into a 16 and some 14's now!!!! I didn't think I lost that much. My blouse was a 1x but has plenty room in it. I'm still a little self conscious about my huge boobs hanging out all over the place, so I'm going to big shirt hide it for a bit longer (maybe they will shrink down a little more). Robin

THAT IS FANTASTIC ... 14s WOWOWOWOW ... TOO DON'T YA JUST WANT TO SA-SHEY ALL OVER THE PLACE??? &, YOU'VE DONE THIS UNDER THE HARDEST OF CIR****TANCES HAVING THE FEEDING TUBE ISSUE ACTUALLY WORK AGAINST YOU LOSING WEIGHT, BUT YOU STUCK TO IT & HERE YOU ARE BUYING "NORMAL" SIZED CLOTHES & LOOKIN' MIGHTY FINE! YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF! GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk

Thanks ladies, I have a goodwill right across the street from my neighborhood here on the edge of summerville. I'll run over there and see what I can find. There is no way I can wear these clothes to work, they literally are falling off of me and I haven't owned a belt in years!!! I've always had to buy pants with elastic so I didn't need one. GOD is so good and I feel so blessed right now. I'm getting all sappy and teary eyed now cause I just never thought this day would ever happen to me again. Thank you FATHER for another chance to do YOUR will. Robin

I never liked that Goodwill, they didnt have their stuff separated by sizes OR sex! I tried going there when I lived there and they have racks and racks of jeans, but they have mens and womens and all the sizes all mixed in together! They may have changed since I was there last, but I never went back after the first time! There's another community thrift store like the one on Dorchester in Mt Pleasant, too, I cant remember exactly where, but someone probably knows. Rebecca

I know you feel amazing. Yesterday I bought a 24 capris. I figured I would get into them before summer was over. Well I tried them on and they fit....I was wearing stretch pants forever. I was probably in a 32 or 34 before surgery. I know I couldn't even wear a 28...I love it...Keep it going Robin...Love Jennifer

You go girl Jennifer, You are well on your way babe!!! I'll be here battling with you every step of the way too! Robin

What a wonderful problem to have. I would go to Goodwill and the Thrift Stores. I did not but I did alot of Wal-mart and Cato and sales. Remember you can always alter clothes sometime for cheaper than buying new ones. Happy Shopping. Julie

Congrats. I have been blessed with a friend that has helped me alter my clothes. It has saved me a lot of money plus the upstate lasies have been so generous, we do a lot of clothing exchanges so it works out very well. Good luck and keep up the great work! Patti

Hi Robin, Having no clothes to wear is part of the hazzards of WLS. Its time to have a clothing swap or search through Goodwill for some in-between-sizes bargins. I like the new picture. You look fantastic. You had a rough start, but your looking great! Herb
