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.

Yes I've gone thrift store shopping for smaller clothes- font have tons but some. That's why i thought I would be fine getting rid of a lot oft old clothes- but it's freaking me out but kinda exciting at the same time!

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!
