Clearing Out The Closet



Recommended Posts

When did you start getting rid of your clothes? Sleeved 9/5 down 2 sizes but still afraid of letting go. Thinking about all the times I failed and want to hold on just in case.

I have so been there and done that.....

It took me a long time to get rid of my clothes and one day, I just decided to do it.

I love how spacey my closet is now.....

I actually have a lot of room....

Also only buy clothes that I really love....... :)

I know, right?

How many times have I successfully lost the weight and put it right back on and then some? But then...all those fat clothes bore me!

Get rid of them! Donate them, sell them, whatever you choose. Use it as even more determination to not gain any weight so you don't have to buy more clothes. Being overweight gets expensive. :)

You got this!

Immediately. If it was too big it went straight to the Goodwill pile. I did not find any 16s pants in my closet. I must have gotten rid of them in a mad fit some time back. Have a dozen size 14 pants but they are still a little tight. Hope I pass through the 16s fast!

I too am down 2 sizes and have taken my clothes to a consignment shop. You are never going to be that size again so why keep those clothes!! Don't keep the clothes, they will only clutter up your life.

When I noticed clothes got to big, I moved them to a bag. When I got a bag or so, I took them to a charity. I took a lot to my face-to-face support group.

Actually, you may want to keep one set for the before and after picture once you succeed in hitting your goal. And you will succeed. Burn the rest of them.

      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.

      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.
