I have no clothes



Recommended Posts

I have this problem as well, but I have found a system that helps. I put the big girl clothes into consignment, and don't take the $$ out. I have been just shopping with the credit there. It is working nice. It is funny as hell though to see my stuff on the racks. Part of me wants to take them back...lol....why I have no idea. lol....

Hey...I am a guy and understand you. I have been banded since March 28 and down now--35 pounds. My clothes are starting to look crazy too. My jean shorts are baggy as all outdoors. But with me--they can be loose--since guys wear them loose and big. I had to buy a stretch belt though---I get them to feel right.

I hope that you try harder to lose. I know it can be tough for many of us to lose. I was doing crazy things in April---riding my bike 2 times daily and lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. No joke--then the weight dipped to the that 1.5 to 2.5 each week. So with the slow down--I averaged 2.75 so far now for 15 weeks...Oh yes--I am keeping track of this thing. Many of my so called friends ask--what's wrong with my clothes. Then the ones who chose to say nothing--Just look at me strangely.

One lady said the craziest thing. She asked me--was I using drugs? Like the crack cociane. Have you heard it all?? I guess we can't lose weight unless a drug is involved...hahahahaha

Lee4Love -- Great!! Keep doing this. But get some clothes that fit. It's amazing how many people notice you have lost weight when your clothes fit. I went to take my old RAV 4 for cleaning to sell it and my old dean noticed I'd lost weight because I had clothes that fit. He thought I looked great. Of course, he's seen me at least 3 times since I lost weight, but my clothes didn't fit. Get some thing clothes.

chica -- Well, poop. I gave all my 20 clothes to a girl I know who just had a baby. If you have a good Goodwill or Salvation Army, shop there. I've seen some really good clothes at those places and all you have to do it have them cleaned.

        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
