Pain in the booty NSV, but NOT complaining.

I had my surgery on 7-27-11 and have gone from 298 to 240. I have bought a whole lot of new clothes since I had PLENTY that I had previously outgrown.

I'm in the healthcare profession so I wear scrubs to work. I broke down and ordered some new ones online, because my 3X ones were starting to look a bit ridiculous. I thought it would be safe to skip a size, and buy 1X. WRONG!!!! They are huge on me, too.

It will be a pain to send them back, but I'll be smiling all the way to the post office.

Good night to all, my beautiful and strong friends.

Correction to the second sentence: I have NOT bought a whole lot of new clothes....

Great weight loss!  You need to check out thrift stores.  Most of them have a section for scrubs.  It will be way too expensive to buy all new clothes until you hit your ideal weight.

It's surprising to skip sizes, isn't it? I went from Large right to Small. I pretty much skipped Medium. It's fun to find out you're smaller than you think, isn't it? Way to rock!!!

Congrats!  You may have to start reading measurement sizing guides, lol.  If you're looking for cheap scrubs, I recommend salusuniforms.com.  They aren't the highest quality (they're kind of "stiff"), but they're definitely not bad for their $1.99-4.99 clearance prices.  I have some sets that have lasted me 4+ years.  The unisex styles tend to be on clearance quite a bit, too.
