My closet is skinny too!



Recommended Posts

Just got rid of the last few things I was hanging on to. I barely have anything left! My husband helped me load it all into bags. As I was throwing away a hoodie I had always worn, my husband asked why I was throwing it away when I loved it so much. It made me cry to tell him that I hadn't really loved it, I had pretend that I did with the majority of my clothes because I am young and want to look unique in my clothing choice, but my size wouldn't allow it. The hoodie I got rid of was a men's 4x. I do have a fun sense of style but I have never been able to show it before. I'm not all the way there, but I am a heck of a lot closer than I was before! Oh and I got rid of all those hangers that had the sizes on them. No more 26/28 for me! So now my closet is so empty, but I am hesitant to get things that I will get too small for... What a fabulous problem! I am 5.5 months out. I have lost 100 pounds. I never thought I would ever be where I am today. I am so grateful for this surgery, and all the people who supported me. I hope all is well with everyone else!

Nice job!

I always told people that I just 'wasn't a coat person' and I just wore a big sweater and then hat, scarf, gloves, etc.

The truth- I was ashamed that the clothing companies that my family would have tried to buy me something from... nothing would have fit me. My belly and hips was bigger than their largest plus size coats would fit.

But NOW, I'm always cold, and this winter, I'm getting a COAT! And a ladies large will fit, thankyouverymuch.

Congratulations! I also hope to lose 100 lbs. Luckily I have bins full of stuff I've grown out of... XL, L and even a few Mediums from waaaaay back :) I could never get rid of them. But I plan to get rid of all my fat clothes as I lose - that's for sure (except my biggest pair of pants for comparison).

Wow! You look AMAZING! Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you.

For me, it's the color black... everyone thinks I love wearing black, it's the only color I like to wear, but it really isn't true. I've been wearing mostly black the past few years because it's "slimming" and people don't notice me so much :-/

I'm having the surgery on Friday, I can't wait to lose my 100lbs and wear colors!

You look great!! I totally understand what you mean about the clothes. I never liked the clothes I had but they didn't sell "my style" in plus size. It feels great to be able to dress to my personality.

      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.

      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.
