I forgot about pants

So any recommendations about a brand of leggings or sweatpants or what type of pants I should look to get? I am a jeans and business casual person for work and around the house. However, I don't want to have to buy clothes as often as the weightloss results I hope to have and others have had would drive me to, so I wanted to ask the group what they suggest. Plus I want to be comfortable lounging around while I heal. Thank you!

I had a harder time wearing pants after surgery than I expected. I am over 2 months out and still have a problem with jeans or tight pants. I would definitely plan on wearing very loose pants after surgery. I wore pajama pants for the first couple of weeks or so. I prefered high waisted so I could pull the band up above my incisions. I thought my leggings and other pants would be fine but they were not comfortable. I also found comfort wearing long night shirts instead.
 
Pace yourself on buying clothes. Don’t buy too much while you are in early stages & really dropping lbs. Some new things I bought a little tight and in a few weeks they were already too big. I took 95% of my closet to Goodwill & then picked up some leggings etc there to help get me by. For work, I get things I can mix & match to look like more outfits. I cinch up my not-so-big clothes with safety pins & binder clips to get use out of them longer.
 
That's my biggest fear I have so many different sizes in my closet but nothing that is versatile you can always wear leggings a size up and size down and no one notices. Plus I have tons of tshirts and sweatshirts to get me by. The work clothes might be my trouble though. I did get some compression tank tops and under garments which were a life saver for my appendectomy so hopefully they help with this.
