Ok so I really like that my closet is now a closet full of clothes that dont fit! my old clothes swallow me! I hate shopping for clothes, and im not sure of my size. Plus im not where I need to be yet so dont want to buy a bunch only to have them out grow me in 2-3 months. Might have to hit up a goodwill and just second hand shop till im at my goal weight.

Yes! The clearance racks are awesome right now, I even buy them if they 2 even 3 sizes smaller @ $3-7 a pop why not? :) I found a short black dress at Target Friday for 5 bucks its a size 24 (I was a 28-30) and it fit so good my husband couldn't compliant me enough every time he passed by... He was a high school boy! Lol :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Im going to shop at the salvation army this Wednesday it's 50% off everything. I need 5 pairs of jeans to start me off then maybe sweats & some shirts. This is the only way for me to get anything especially since I'm dropping size quickly & don't know where I'm at except I'm a 13 now & medium shirt.

My plan tomorrow is to go through my closet an donte what will not fit me anymore. I told my husband this morning I need to get some new pants and shirts and a new belt. I have had to add new holes to my belt. Great feeling!!

I'm also a thrift store shopper right now ;) I also love garage sales!! One tip I like to do since I love my jeans is turn them inside out and sew the excess to my size right now it's easy and saves $$

I have found some clothes on sale at Kohls and Coldwater Creek. I have to still get rid of all of my old stuff, I am pulling things out of my closet daily that are just too big! The fun part is seeing people that have not seen me in a while, they don't recognize me!

Savers and thrift stores for me as I start to lose and run out of the right size. I fortunately saved a lot of my clothes that were smaller so I can shop in my own closet. Unfortunately for me my weightloss is dragging because these antibiotics are kicking my butt. It makes it hard to get all the Fluid and Protein in. OH well....last night for those so hopefully I can kick up the totals for Water and protein again. Congrats on your smaller closet :)

      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.
