This is very exciting, yet bittersweet! I am going to clean out my closet today! Meaning I will have maybe 3 outfits that fit. I know it's crazy but when I put on my pre surgery clothes and they are baggy every where I feel disgusting! I will not be spending alot I money on clothes until I reach my goal weight. Thank God summer is around the corner and I can live in summer dresses. But for now, this crap needs to go!

Yayyy you! I dont have the guts to purge the closet all at once, but I am getting rid of things here and there. I really should take a page from your book and ditch the baggy stuff, because honestly, it looks awful... Lol. Congratulations on the nsv :-D

Hello :) if you are cleaning out your closet and want to make cash & if you have a Facebook acct well you are in luck!! There are groups on there (plus size friendly) that you have to request to be a member of (totally private) then you can post your pictures of clothes on there and sell to make $$$. I have sold over $1500!! The names of the groups are Fattoo, plus size gallery, for fat sakes, Fattoo accesora. Only men are allowed in these groups... Sorry guys! Lol

It's kinda like eBay but without the fees!

Happy selling and shopping!

I cleaned out my closet this weekend. I'm only 1 month post op but I've already gone down a size. I packed them up and plan to do resale later.

I did take two bags of clothes to Goodwill this morning. Took all of my Lane Bryant bras! I was so happy to see them go!!!

I cannot WAIT to no longer have to shop at Lane Bryant! On my list of reasons for WLS surgery, one of them is "No longer shop at Lane Bryant!"

Good for you, girl!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
