Congratulations. Great NSV.
That is a great feeling. Check out stores like TJMAXX. They have name brands and great prices.
Just don't buy a ton of stuff. We lose so fast in the beginning that sometimes we forget we have new things and never get to wear them
It's funny because I said to myself, "I need to get out of here before they want my first-born child." LOL. I needed some nice, new clothes for the start of the school year. Definitely didn't want to go overboard.
Thought about buying some fall and winter clothes, but there's a 99% chance that I'll be smaller by the time I need to wear them, so it'd be a waste to buy winter clothes when they will be too big on me by then.
Congratulations! Isn't it a great feeling??!!
I'm 2.5 months post-op and down 2 dress sizes, which blows my mind a little. I was a 20 when I went into surgery, and last week my 18 pants were swimming on me. Yesterday I went to TJMaxx (agree with previous post... it's a great store to find in-between sizes) and bought 16 pants and XL shirts (just a couple).
If things keep going this way, I'll be a 14/L by Halloween and officially out of plus sizes. I'm 52 and I think the last time I was at this size was 20 years ago!
