I went through everything in my closet 2 weeks ago, and filled up 4 kitchen garbage bags with clothes to donate!! I'm down to 3 pairs of jeans (that are now too baggy to be comfortable, but they have an elastic waist, so they don't fall off LOL), and about 7 blouses (that really could go into another garbage bag, but a girl has to have SOMETHING to wear!). All of my gym pants are falling off...even with an elastic waist. Time to invest in some big safety pins!! :)

Go to Goodwill and get yourself some new or practically new clothes. No reason to be swimming in your clothes. People give away things - sometimes with the tags still on. Ebay is another cheap way to get clothes.

I was in a size 14 for only two weeks. I just went and found a bunch of size 12s. Now I'm almost out of them. The only thing I really HAVE to buy new is underwear obviously.

I go to goodwill weekly. I can't stand for my clothes to be super baggy. My stepmom had gastric bypass and told me to let my baggy clothes be my badge of honor, no need to buy new clothes. I told her my badge was buying clothes that were smaller. I got a ton of clothes for 50 bucks.

I had a pair of smaller pants that I couldn't get past my knees. Yes, my knees. I held onto those suckers for so long. After surgery I had tried them again and I got them up over my booty, so I said soon, soon you adorable pants. I tried them on 2 days ago, because I was depressed it was over a week with no weight loss and they fall off me.

I now have a skirt that I couldn't wrap around ONE thigh (my thigh was bigger than my entire stomach). I got the skirt wrapped around my entire stomach now, though it's suppose to double wrap lol. I'm getting closer to it. These things are the important things to check for, especially when you are in a stall.

This week, at my stall is when everyone is pointing out my weight loss to me, though they see me all the time, hey, look at that bone, wow you are crossing your legs (I did it first time yesterday, I never try to cross them, because I haven't done that since 1999 lol)

I love things like this!

CONGRATS and good for you all.

To comfortably cross my legs, without a numbing feeling, is a goal! Like you, I hit a stall. I tried on an old pair of TIGHT jeans, and THEY FIT! We are losing inches as well as weight, so don't get to discouraged about the numbers on the scale (who am I kidding? Sadly, I am a slave to my scale!).

I like this tread. I am waiting for a day when i can tell the same story. but now I am still in my 22w-24w pants ( depend on the brand) and have whole bag of nice clothes from size 16-20 from my previous diet victories. I doubt that I would go below 12 but even 12 so far look a miracle to me.

I think I am the only person who doesn't have a cache of smaller-sized clothing...I have been this size for approx. 25 years, and I am now 52! Oh, I have a few items that are a size or two smaller, but nothing for "down the road. Oh, well...happy shopping!

I only kept a few things from the early to mid 90's. The pants that are too big are from when I hit 200 a few times before, between my 200-300 phase.

I did keep some mini skirts and a bikini because I loved them so much and those I hope I will be able to wear next summer. The ball gown I have I am hoping to get into by Xmas, I'm going to have it cut down for New Years Eve. A suit of mine is too big. My wedding dress is now too big, which makes me happy :)

I don't really have much of a stash. Maybe only a size down or so. Although pre-surgery, I did buy a few shirts in smaller sizes because they were on clearance and I had a few good coupons. I like shopping online at Woman Within. You can google coupon codes (or they email some to you). One good deal I got was a zippered microfleece jacket that I will take to work with me... only $3.24 - on clearance, a good coupon, plus an earnings certificate. (You earn a small percentage based on what you buy and can spend that back at the store.)

I have clothes down to size 8. I have a bunch of medium and small tops too. I swear that some are 30 years old. I have a pair of trunks from Hawaii that my dad wore in 1957. Pack-rat am I. I wear plain kick-around, not trendy clothes so they never really go out of style.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
