Cleaning Out the Closet



Recommended Posts

So I decided to go through all my bins of clothes from previous sizes that I had stacked in the back of my closet. When I put them away they were are thrown in together. So I went through and organized them by sizes- thinking that will be helpful as I go down in sizes. While I was sorting so many clothes brought back memories.They made me think of specific events and people I was with. Amazing how clothes could do this. It was almost like looking at old photographs. It was kind of fun!

Also as I was looking at the clothes I realized how tiny many of them were and yet at the time I wore them I still felt HUGE. I'm hoping that this time I will appreciate getting down to those sizes and have a better frame of mind than I did in the past. I know that will be easier said than done. Anyone been through this? Have you lost your weight and felt better than you did at that size before? I think it will definitely be a mental game and I hope I will be able to win!

That is a long time away for me but the clothes got me thinking about the future. It will definitely be fun to go clothes shopping in my own closet (not to mention saving a bunch of $$$) and I can't wait to wear the clothes again! Some of them are just so darn cute- now I have a goal! I'm thinking of grabbing a couple pieces of clothing and hanging them up in front of my elliptical machine for motivation while I'm exercising!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
