I can appreciate the bloating symptoms and it is mentally depressing for me at times, especially if I am shopping for clothes-I never know what size I am anymore! Last week I actually tried on a pair of maternity pants! I too have resorted to mostly stretch waist pants and longer shirts so I figured the maternity pants would definitely be non-constricting. A couple of stores carry stretch waist jeans such as Walmart, they have Faded Glory brand in a different jean colors; these have saved me from pure misery. I have to be careful though, if I don't put on a pair of regular pants once in awhile I tend to gain weight because the stretch is "forgiving". I may feel miserable a lot but I figure I don't need to be overweight and miserable.
