It still seems odd to me that I can let my "fat clothes" go now! I have every size in my closet from 18-28. I am currently down to a 22 and i still have not let go of my 28,26,24's!! I know I will never need them again, but it's a habit I had developed through the years. Thinking I'd better keep them "just in case"...and as usual, I always did. Maybe this weekend I will clean out my closets and start donating them. Thank you for reminding me. It is totally natural that you feel that way. But it has really hit home to me that I will never see those sizes again!...And niether will YOU! :D

Maybe. No maybe. get rid of them as quickly as you can. Do you still keep Cookies and cake in the house?

You eliminated the unhealthy food, so do the same with all aspects of your unhealthy lifestyle. Maybe even buy something you can't fit into yet (if you don't already have some from time past). Most of my fat clothes were worn out cause I hated buying fat clothes and had very few items and usually wore them too tight in denial of my size. So I pitched most of them right away.

I try on the smaller clothes in my closet about once a week as motivation. It's such a fantastic feeling fitting into the next size down. I want no reminders of what I am leaving behind or a security blanket to fall back on. :)

Everytime you drop a size...

Drop them big clothes into a bag!!!

There is no going back to big clothes...only going back to smaller clothes!

Good Luck everyone!

Don't forget that there is a clothes sharing part of this app. I checked into it and you can sell or exchange them check it out. It might also make you feel better if you donate them to a thrift store on r a women's shelter... just a thought. Good luck !

        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!

      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
