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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
