Nice problem to have.

Well my wife and I pulled out all the summer clothes and I found that NOTHING fits me. Clothes that were to small when I packed them away(some were new at the time), now fall right off of me. I must go shopping now. We had to laugh when I put on some of the larger sizes and they simply dropped to the floor. It is amazing what my sleeve has done for me. I do not regret having WLS at all.

What you have done with your sleeve!!!......  Have fun clothes shopping, you earned the heck out of it..  I have managed to get by so far without buying a single article of clothing.... I had 13 lineal feet of clothes in my walk in and I have been thru 6 feet and I only have a few pieces the rest is for donation, its like going back in time to different stages in my life.....but when I get to goal like you, I am looking forward to shopping again...

Me being me, I've been shopping right along. Probably need to wor****il I'm 90 to pay off the cc bills. But I love it!
Buy yourself something nice. Bring your wife and let her tell you what looks good on you.

Donna you are too funny. However, I think I'll be in the same boat when my wife has her WLS. You know what? that's ok, at least we will be looking GREAT. By the way, I don't buy any clothes without my wife being right there. I'm color blind and I have learned I need her assistance in the clothing department. Well, happy shopping to all of us.

In my opinion it's a win-win if your wife likes how you look in new clothes

cheers

 Great Job Mike.  I love how it feels when you have to get new clothes.  Just yesterday I was amazed when I washed some jeans to look at them - and my first thought was "Those Can't be mine!"

I have to admit, I am prettyt jealous of all of you guys already at goal when I have another 50 lbs to lose!

Congrats!  Now go get yourself some cool clothes for summer!
