postpardum clothes

oooh, this is the part i hate. i'm 2 weeks post pardum, and i have no clothes. i know you're supposed to be able to just wear your maternity stuff, but that never really fit me. i was always yanking them up. so now, after gaining 70+lbs & pushing out a 10 pounder, i'm not in the best of shape. and i'm ok with that. i understand that there is a period of recovery, i just want to be able to wear something that fits me. my belly is big and quite hangy, so finding things that hide that would be helpful.
oh yea, and i have very limited funds, which doesnt help.
does anyone have any suggestions?

They carry some good ones at Costco for 12.99 per 2-pack. Very stretchy and they are pretty long, so it should cover your belly. They are also easy for nursing! I think I wore them almost exclusively for two years post partum. Are you working or sahm? I used hair ties to add a couple inches to the waistband of my pants... which I would cover with long shirts. Otherwise, I guess stretchy pants or skirts?
