NSV: the one day clothes



Recommended Posts

I love to shop and can't resist a good sale. Well for years I have been buying clothes that I will fit in one day because it is such a good deal or I jus

t loved them so much I had to buy them. Yes I know I have a shopping addiction. We can discuss my shopping issue at a later date lol. Anyway I am beaming from ear to ear because I just took 6 pairs of pants that I said I would fit in one day to the tailor to be fixed because they are to long and the day to wear them is now okay next saturday when I go back to tailor to get them. I am so excited I want to take a ad out int he new york times. My hard work with an amazing tool is finally paying off. Next week I drop off a 45 gallon contractor size garbage bag full of clothes to a friend since I missed the clothing exchange at NYU. I can't even lift the dam bag. Eating clean working out and this band has made a huge positive difference in my life. Yes I still have 95 pounds but i already lost 1/3 of the 150 i started out to lose. This forum is so helpful and is the only pace besides the drs office my weight is public knowledge. Not even my sister or best friend know how much I weigh!! Anywa back to my happy weight be gone new clothes dance....

LOVE it that you can't even lift the 45-lb. bag of clothes -- it's going to feel good to put this weight down (a couple of those bags) and not carry them all the time. And shopping -- I think I could get into that! I do have a drawer of next size down jeans which I hope to get into soon and some shirts tucked away. Can't wait!

WoooooooHoooooooo!!! Tell me MORE about this "clothe exchange" at NYU

I got an email that you can bring ur clothes to this hotel I assume they do it every few months and you can swap clothes they even have fitting rooms. And whatever doesn't get swapped gets donated to people in need I say win win :)

I'm very interested in donating my clothes to others on this journey. I hope they have the exchange again snd I hope to give away the size I'm in now at that exchange. I have evening dresses and suits that must go because I'm never going back to that size again.

I am 9 days postoperative.

I lost 40 pounds PRE-op. and nearly 10 lbs post op.

I have been playing with clothes for. 2-3 days.

Last Lear in Dec I had NOTHING that fit. I kept replaying in my head a Payton Manning commercial that went something like this. ----- ". I am an elite

Athlete...... You'r are not. Just buy a bigger shirt."

I DID I bought a bigger shirt and 2 bigger pair of pants.

I swore that was the last time I would buy bigger.

I recently threw out the the bigger shirt and pants, and the one big ripped, frayed sweater that fit me last year.

I have found a. Closet of GREAT clothes I can NOW wear. I am down 2 pants sizes, and 1 to 1 1/2 neck

Inches.

FEELS GREAT.

Being 50 lbs less was a dream. The dream is true! I am one happy dude.

I am. Following the rules my doctor gave me. They seems rational.

I am NOT Hungry. I feel great.

Happy to talk to anyone that needs help.

Still don't know my size. Was XL and some XXL 9 months ago. Bought L shirt last week and got it home and I could put an average 12 year old kid inside with me. Guess I'm a M now. Love the Happy Dance cat 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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
