So just like every year, it's about that time to go through my closet to exchange the winter/fall clothes for the spring/summer ones. Now, the winter/fall to spring/summer exchange is always the harder change as I put away the clothes that cover me up more, for some clingy, non-flattering clothes:crying: UGHH I hate it....USUALLY!

Well, something just occurred to me. The thought that the winter/fall clothes that I just finished washing and folding, and now placing into storage containers, may never see the light of day again!!! These may all be too big by the time my spring/summer to winter/fall exchange happens! So cardigan by cardigan, blazer by blazer, I felt like I was saying 'good-bye' to the overweight, unhealthy me, and making room for the healthy, 'regular' weight me! This thought turned a usual dreadful task into something uplifting!:thumbup:

Anyways just wanted to share, and wondered if any of you have experienced something similar!?

What a great revelation!!

I had my surgery back at the end of February. I've already got a pile of clothes that I was wearing this winter that are ready for Goodwill!

So, like you, I'm hoping to be shopping for new fall clothes next year, and again next spring.

It just feels good!

How awesome is that?

Funny story to share: It was like 70 degrees on Sunday, so I grabbed a pair of bermuda shorts--they went on really easy, but I didn't pay much attention to them. They kind of kept stretching out and I just kept hiking them up, later in the day I jumped off the sofa to grab the phone and down went my pants...too funny! Of course I'm glad I was home and no one else was visiting at the time, but man did my DH laugh. I checked the tag...24. Went shopping right after bought a very tight 14...I figure when short season really kicks in in July they will be just right.

And I suggest to all of the ladies who are changing out winter into summer, go ahead and GIVE THEM AWAY! If you keep them, it will just be a reminder of the way you use to be, or are right now. You will need the room for the new clothes you will be buying soon anyway!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
