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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
