I can fit everything in my closet



Recommended Posts

My weight has fluctuated over the past six years I've gone from a size 9 in juniors to a size 18 in women's. So needless to say I refused to give or throw away any of those old clothes. With the sleeve that choice was the best one I have made. I have so many old clothes that are still in style I have not had to go and shop for any new ones. I am now down to a size 11/12 and I can fit some of those old 9's I have in my closet. I am so happy I always try to keep a goal pair of jeans that are one or two sizes below where I currently am. To have a constant visual of the effects of the sleeve.

I fluctuated too so I have a bunch of clothes from like five/six years ago that I always said "one day I'll get back into these". Well, that "one day" is now. I am to the point now where I have to take my clothes in with my sewing machine. I refuse to buy a bunch of new things when I know they aren't going to fit me in a few months anyway. I did purchase a few pairs of jean capris to get me through summer. I bought them a little too snug so I can wear them until September.

Good job on your progress. Keep it up!!!

That's awesome! I wish I had kept some of my clothes from when I could wear juniors. I didn't so I know I'm already gonna have to shop for more clothes. My closet is almost empty :)

I am regretting that I got rid of everything. About 4 months ago I got so frustrated with weight loss that I resigned myself to the fact that I wasn't going to be able to lose it and keep it off. I was tired of having a closet full of clothes I couldn't wear and nothing I could wear. I cleaned it all out and gave it away! Now, I am anxiously awaiting my sleeve on July 26! I cannot wait to have a tool to help me lose this weight and keep it off. I wish I had seriously considered WLS prior to cleaning the closet out, but guess I am gonna get to do some shopping....smile.gif

It does feel great to finally fit back into those old clothes, doesn't it? I have been wearing stuff that I haven't been able to squeeze into in 10+ years lol. Where I messed up was not realizing that I was smaller than I saw myself and blew right past a whole bunch of clothes that had been sitting in a box ;)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
