The clothes thing is soooo expensive. Luckily (I guess) over the last few years I had gone up and down many sizes. So I went through everything I owned after I first had surgery and put it in boxes by size. When I got too small for a size I would get out another box. This worked for a couple of months but now it doesn't. I had a free garage sale at my house for some girls I knew who desperately wanted new clothes but could not afford them. They left with shopping bags full of clothes! It was fun to see it go and to someone who wanted them. Since surgery in June I have gone from a size 20 to a size 4!!!! I have found that shopping clearance is the best bet. I also have discovered that I can fit into some children's stuff. This has saved me money buying PJ's. I got long john's in the kids department at Target on clearance for 5 bucks. Can't do much better than that! It is the pits to spend sooo much on clothes but on the flip side boy is it fun to go into the store and have lots of choices now and not have to buy something just because it fits!!!
