I have surgery on June 7. So in prep I'm going through my clothes and getting rid of all my clothes that I have that are one size larger than I am now (lost ten pounds so in 24 not 26 or larger)and all 24 that I've not worn in a couple months! But I'm finding this really hard to do! What if the surgery doesn't happen? What if it doesn't work? I'm so afraid something will happen at the last minute to cancel this. Am I crazy? Anyone find it hard to get rid of your clothes and accept you won't need them again? Anyone else freaking out about the surgery getting canceled? This sucks!!

Oh my husband agreed to put all the clothes in the garage until surgery is over. He is like if this is what you need to do to get through this then ok! But it feels silly to need to do that.

Just wait till you lose the weight and then you feel like you have nothing to wear. I found many morning where I was have meltdowns cuz everything was falling off me. People didn't understand they thought I was being silly. I actually missed some of my favorite clothes when I got rid of them. It made me feel better to give them to my sister who could use them. I find it fun to shop but I think I'm more critical now about my clothes then I was before. I was a size 22 and now I'm in about a 10.

I'm actually excited about smaller clothes. Lol. I've already started buying smaller clothes. Hopefully, I won't get stuck w/out clothes one day.

I found that I was buying smaller jeans when I found them on sale also. It was something to work towards as I got smaller. Don't get me wrong I was and still am exited about getting smaller but it is still a lot to get used too!

      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?

      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.
