Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I'm so excited that the clothes I struggled to fit are too loose and borderline falling off now. Shirts and pants that I couldn't stuff myself into are baggy on me now. Shoot, I can pull my jeans on and off without even unbuttoning. At the end of the school year, those same jeans required the "lay on the bed, struggle, and pray" technique to get into.
But with my NSV comes frustration. With the new school year about to start (teacher back this week, kids after Labor Day), I realize that my work clothes look sloppy. The pants/bottoms that I fit I can't wear to work. And the tops that fit are a little too casual. I don't want to spend a lot, and I really would prefer comfortable and elastic waisted (for two reasons: I can by small and "shrink" into them, AND it makes those few, hurried bathroom trips much easier and faster). So, I've avoided shopping. But now I have to.
My hubby laughed at me the other day because I stated it simply: YAY! My clothes are too big. BOO! Now I have to go shopping.
Thanks for listening/reading my musings. :0)

I still got a way to go till I reach a stable size, When I do I am gonna have a fit till they get the new clothes in for me! I can't buy them or I would.
I've been doing some serious closet shopping and found another box of clothes I forget I even had!
I hate shopping fat.... I love shopping when I am normal sized! I am going to need new things when school starts the end of Sept. Other than under things.... I plan on hitting goodwill, etc to find what I need to get me by... I hate to wear things that are bagging off me when I go out in the world. The sloppy look is just so unbecoming. LOL!
