Summer is over - packing away clothes!



Recommended Posts

I am putting away my summer clothes and bathing suits hoping I will never wear them again! I can't bring myself to get rid of them yet - I guess I still have my doubts about surgery happening (still waiting for a date) and my success. :-( What are others doing with summer clothes you hope will be way too big by next year?

I became addicted to Goodwill this summer and bought a bunch of "goal summer clothes" that are adorable. I can't fit in them yet (size 12/14 pants L/M tee shirts), but they are waiting for me for next summer! As for my clothes from this summer, my family says to burn them. They are so old and worn that no second hand store will want them!

I have some nice things - some never worn. I'll probably wait until next Spring and donate them. I bought a great pair of Seven jeans at salvation army that I look forward to fitting into them!

Living in Texas, I don't put summer clothes away as we never know if we will have an ice storm or a warm sunny day, and sometimes one right after the other. :-)

Don't give them away until you are ready. Maybe you will end up on a trip you don't know about yet and will need something!

I live in Florida, so summer isn't over yet for a few more weeks, lol, but I saved all my fat clothes. They are currently all in storage. I am 90% sure I will never wear them again even if I do gain weight because they are mostly old and worn out, but I felt like I was jinxing myself by getting rid of them. They are also probably a bit too worn to give to Goodwill and I felt wasteful throwing them out, so now they are cluttering up my storage unit.

      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.
