Feels great, doesn't it?!

DH and I just got done cleaning out our MB closet. I must have pulled out at least 90% of the clothes in there... and I still have two more closets and a ton of storage totes to go through. I've been exiled to my laptop because my entire desk, office chair, and literally half the office floor is covered with my clothes that I've "undergrown". We're talking - seriously - at least 10 - 15 55g trash bags full. Anyone need sizes between 28 - 32 and even some larger? ;)

I always need clothes...I'm helping my son through college and money is tight! I'm in a 30/32 or a 4x depending on the fit. What are you selling and how much?? Have you thought about putting them on eBay?

Flower your story is similar to mine. My sis gave me small clothes at one time that I embarrassingly couldn't fit, now I'm wearing them and some of them I can't fit anymore b/c they are too big. All of my size 18's are no longer wearable. I look like im drowning in those (had a few favorite pair of pants from Lane Bryant).

I'm in a size 16 and some 14's. My tops are 12/14 but my bottoms are 14/16, mostly 16's. I got alot of belly to lose and I think i'd be a comfy 14 if not for my belly, b/c my legs have alot of room in them, but the belly is snug. Can't wait to fit comfortably in the 14's then have surgery. LOL, my lil girl said to me yesterday, "momma, let's get that stomach off and go buy a new one..k?" She said that 4 or 5 times yesterday, she's 4. She's been watching the Discovery channel with me where the women undergo tummy tucks and she knows that I want it done. I swear that they'd cut off about 10lbs of fat off of me. Then I'd have 42lbs to go(sighs), soon enough.

Isn't it fun when your clothes are too big? Don't spend very much money on new clothes because your new clothes will be too big in the near future.

Our support group in Tacoma, WA does a clothing exchange two times a year. I am excited that I have a couple of boxes to contribute. Keep up the great work everyone.

WOW great job. It is neat to shop at the other end of my closet; the smaller clothes side. Keep up the good work.

This is exactly my situation, too! I have a whole other wardrobe waiting for me to wear :eek: I'm hoping to be in the 2X's by fall. I started in a 4X when I was banded. I'm SO looking forward to getting rid of those for good!

      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.
