I'm curious how long did it take before you decided to clean out the old larger clothes?

I just cleaned out the ones that are hanging off my shoulders i still have some that I'm hoping will be too big within the next month. I just need to make sure I have some that will fit once school starts.

Great job!! I am thirty lbs down since may 12th which was when I started my month of Optifast. I go back to work tomorrow. On my last day of work before surgery on june 12th I wore size 22 petite. I am now comfortable in size 18 petite. I am slow but I don't care I am in it for the long haul! 16 petite here I come!

I am right with you. I was a size 26 or tight size 24 before surgery. Tops were 3X. I'm down 33 lbs. since school let out in June. Tops are now 2X or even 1X, and pants are loose size 24 or tight size 22. My bottom half isn't keeping up with my top half! I got rid of a lot, but still need school clothes. School starts next week. I don't think I'll purge my entire old wardrobe for another 15 lbs.

I started washing my clothes in hot Water and drying them on high to shrink them to get a bit more wear out of them. I too am loosing faster from the top half of my body. Or maybe i just have so much more to loose from the lower half

Today makes 8 weeks post op for me. I am feeling rather blue. Not sure what's going on. I don't want to eat, but make myself. I am really missing eating normally. It's hard because I am excited about the weight loss, but getting very depressed trying to cook for my whole family. The last two days I have cooked what sounded really good to me and then as I start eating it just tastes nasty.

Thanks for letting me whine just a little.

I felt the same way a couple of days ago. I was sitting at a restaurant and had two bites and it got stuck. And I too said I wish I could eat normally again. However Mel, I LOVE seeing your new profile pics. Every time you post a new one you look like a totally different person. You should do a "slideshow" when you hit your year surgiversery. Just remember the good outweighs the bad and this too shall pass.

I can share your feeling. I am almost 7 weeks out. And have cook an anniversary meal. This weekend two birthday meals with cake.

I caught myself feeling bad about it and I really had I search myself. It helps me to think that this is me serving my family and that I can take great pride and pleasure in.

I also have started cooking more healthy for my family. Making new weekly menus That I can adapt to.

Thanks so much! I do love that I am fitting in more clothes. I am sure it's just a yuck day. I am generally pretty positive. I feel like I can not adequately share with my family because they haven't been through it so they don't understand.

Thanks for the comment about the pics as well.

I am trying to change my family and their eating habits, but with 2 picky teenagers and a husband who loves to eat, it is a difficult task.

I will keep plugging away.

Thanks for the response.
