I've had a fun incredible journey since October when I was sleeved. Today has been a nice, boring lazy Sunday. I cleaned out my closet and got rid of all my clothes that are too big. I found brand new shirts, pants, shorts etc that I had never worn. They were 1 and 2 x and up to a size 38 waist.

I ended up having three huge garbage bags full of clothes I can't wear any longer due to size.

I never thought the day would come when I couldn't fit into my XLT shirts. Now they look like a blanket on me.

So that being said, if your starting the journey, put this on your list. It'll make you realize how much progress you have made. As of this morning I'm down a grand total of 69 lbs from October.

And don't depend on size labels. Try them on. You will be surprised how differently things fit.

I dread my next closet clean out, as I don't have much to wear anymore as it is!

But it's great to find things that are too big now!

I just had a Tummy Tuck and know that the few pairs of pants I have are surely going to be big now, they were already getting loose.

Keep up your hard work and new clothes are a great reward for progress!

I also did the big closet purge and I had to go to the basement to dig out my skinny clothes. I have little tabs separating my clothes that are labeled "wear now", "wear soon", "wear this spring". I don't have much for spring, so I will probably be hitting the resale shops in the spring hopefully a few sizes smaller. Can't wait to go sandal shopping for my new and improved feet!

Wow GREAT JOB! I was also sleeved in Oct (23rd) I'm down 47-48 pounds. I went from a size 20-22 jeans to a reg 16! It's been hard. Lots of stand still for me. But I'm pushing through.

I also look at this in another way... it gives me an excuse to app for other credit cards at stores i couldn't shop at before because they didn't have anything in my size. I have a credit card addiction , but never carry a balance. lol

We started going to the gym every single day around the start of January. All I'm doing in 30 minutes on the treadmill and 15 mins on the elliptical and I started eating even more healthy... big drop in weight again. My gut is gone finally. I didn't think it would help or I'd see a difference, but now when people see me that is the first thing they comment about. I hope to start toning in a couple weeks.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
