All my nice clothes are falling off of me. What a great problem to have!! I am in 16/18's from tight 24's. Pretty cool if you ask me!!
I have never had to try and hide me being thinner, usually it is the other way around. Using a scarf to help. Will have to get to a thrift store or something soon!
My husband is mourning my boobs deflating. My butt is shrinking, I have a waist and I have cheek bones. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be blessed with this surgery and then never dreamed I could lose weight like the others.
You guys rock, thanks for the encouragment!!

If you have a sewing machine you could try to take some things in. My friends gave me one right after surgery. Even jeans can be taken in by sewing another seam next to the outside seam. I even took in my bathing suits. Check with your surgery support group, they may be hosting a clothing exchange.

Congrats on the new job...know you've been looking for awhile.
Bigger congrats on the size....AWESOME.
I would make a list of the basics in size 16/18 and just get enough to mix and match several outfits. You'll be moving down more sizes before you know it.

 A Goodwill near me has a nice selection of business casual clothes.  It's really impressive actually.  Not all Goodwill stores are created equal, but you might try that.

Congrats!

rule #1 -- make sure you have a well-fitted bra!!!    regardless of the effects of weight loss and gravity (which is not your friend, BTW), the girls need 100% support!!
