Didn't realize that I had lost so much hope

[kiwi17 54]

Now that I'm down 17 pounds post-op (plus 13 pre-op), I've been looking in my my closet for the smaller clothes that I've saved over the years. I cannot find anything! I must have thrown them all out thinking I would NEVER be able to get back into them. It would be nice to have something to compare to. It is sad to me that at some point in time I gave up completely.

I did the same thing. I'm 34 days away from surgery. I got rid off everything! I'm trying to dig up my fattest stuff!

My wife saved a short and halter top outfit that she wore when we were honeymooners. She brought it out on occasion with the picture of her in it during her many failed diets to motivate herself. She never lost enough.

40 years later, she is finally back into it, thanks to weight loss surgery and her own discipline.

She be lookin fine!

Me too... I gave away closets FULL of clothes in recent years because I was down sizing to a new home with less closet space. I WISH I had those cute clothes back - but they are gone. I held on to a select few things and I don't know how long they will last me. Can't wait til it's all too big!!

I still have a pair of button down levis from the 70's.

Last time they fit was circa '85 after my 2nd child was born.

Not sure if I'll be back in those but would be crazy!

I actually have my mom bringing my 1996 prom dress with her. I will get into that again

You guys are getting in the Back To The Future/Peggy Sue Got Married time machine!

I used to say, "If I only had this wise old brain in that young body I had back then!"

Outside of a little loose skin...it's baaaack!

I kept a 'skinny closet'....cannot wait till I am wearing things out of it, again!

Best of luck to all of us with our goals!

I actually almost bought a shirt in a "normal" size today. My surgery is in 34 days. But I actually chickens out and thought that if I did it I would "wake up" from the fact that shopping in normal sizes is an actual reality. I decided to wait until I actually fit into it - since it was almost 200.
