Women and clothes ahh the oldest cliche in the book, we love to shop and spend money we do not have. Shows like Sex and the City, Confessions of a Shopaholic have really made the name game when it comes to women and their clothes. But when you are a WLS patient clothes take on a whole life of their own...
We might have started off with a substantial plus size wardrobe various sizes ranging from 20W and onward.. and then we make the decision to have surgery. Knowing these very clothes are going to be mere memories. But you still hold on to them for those first few weeks because you are swollen, your bloated, your still fat and you know they will fit. Then the first drop happens, this is what happened to me. I was walking somewhere and my leggings fell down and they were saggy in the ass. I knew I had made the next drop. So the first donation to Goodwill came around 6 weeks post op, at this point all my clothes were sagging and I was finding myself go to Walmart, Target and Kohls.
Now I am down almost 90lbs and hovering somewhere between a size 16, they are little tight but fit amazing. I have piles of clothes everywhere in my room I am not a messy person by nature but the sheer amount of clothing is insane. I realized that I need to get clothes for the Fall and Winter. So I went to Walmart yesterday and dropped around 150.00 on some shirts, pants and jackets.
Ugh.... clothes
