So just went through my closet again, and I literally cleaned it out, ive got 20%, of clothes left. Not sad but sad ive got nothing to wear, not down enough to buy new clothes, ive got 64 more pounds to lose, so not too far!! Looking forward to my onederland mark which is 14 pounds away. Imma cry at that very moment.

I have been afraid to clean out my closet for that reason. I have like 8 things that I rotate and wear. The rest are just huge pieces of clothing hanging there to make it look like I have clothes. My workout clothes hang on me, my tshirts look like dresses. I have 49 more pounds to go and I just dont want to buy anything.... I know I can go to consignment and thrift stores but hate to.....

I can't wait until I start to notice big changes in my clothes! Some clothes that were too tight fit better, but I'm excited to start giving clothes away because they are too big! It's been a while since that has happened!

My aunt text me today and asked when I got through my closet if I can give her my work cloths. I laughed because I'm afraid of cleaning my closet I will have like nothing to wear!!! I have been rotating a few things too. My old work cloths I have to hold up. I don't want to look at an empty closet! .... Never had this dilemma before. Love it :)

Guys go buy new clothes at the thrift store. Wearing lose baggy clothes does nothing for your self-esteem and makes you lose out of the awesome feeling of feeling great in the new you!! I bought clothes at the thrift store prior to surgery and getting into them and wearing new smaller clothes is the best motivator and image builder. I wont wear too big clothes at all now, I rather limit my clothing to a few things than look like a bag lady (Like I used to be since all my clothes were too big) Thrift stores are cheap and you can find cheap nice stuff. I feel so much better about myself and being in nice looking better fitting clothes makes all the difference to seeing the changes in the dropping weight. Try it... do not wait until you lose all your weight, it is not worth it. buy a few things in each size as you are able to and enjoy being the new you. Wait until you get to your goal weight/final weight to buy brand new clothes but clothes that cost 2 to 3$ each for the in between sizes is so great and made all the difference to me. Wearing bigger clothes makes you look heavier than wearing clothes that fit, so at least have one or two outfits that fit.

I was so excited because now I have just started getting rid of my 20W clothes because I realized they are too big and I only wear my 18W and 18. That means I have gone from 26W to 18, and I have none of the too big sizes left in ,my closet, except for the two outfits I kept to show the drop in size later.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
