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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
