Old clothes? What did you do?

[Maryland135 6]

I just had my surgery but this subject of letting go of my clothes came up a lot because we all know how hard we shopped to find things in our size and that we liked. My husband says "even if someday way down the road you gain weight back those clothes won't be in style." It makes sense for me it's taken many many years for me to get this size I am letting mine go when the time comes. Thinking possibly to a womens shelter.

Before and after my surgery i got big clothes and I'm wishes i would donate my clothes after my surgery but I'm rather not wanted timeless clothes for years because I'm on post surgery last January I'm got shred my weight six months later..

I'm really wanted have new clothes after my surgery and rid 30w clothes or donate what i wanted it..

I got rid of all of my clothes I couldn't fit. Donated them all. I did it this when I realized they wouldn't stay on my hips and kept falling down my legs. I donated them all because I told myself repeatedly that once all this excess weight is gone, it's not coming back, ever. I did keep one pair of size 20 jeans to compare with my smallest size... When I get there.

What about starting a clothing exchange at the facility where you had the surgery?

That is great idea. Dr Duc Voung does that with his patients.

As I lost weight I donated clothes. Bought smaller cloths on eBay. You can get designer clothes very cheap and dry clean them.

I'm only a little less than a month out from surgery but have lost 43 pounds total (pre and post surgery).
My old clothes don't fit! Good problem and luckily I do have sizes below from before I gained all the weight.
I'm cleaning out my closet. I am scared to throw away my old, too big, clothes. I'll put them in a big box and store them, but why?
I don't think I will or want to gain weight back once this is all through, but what if??
what did you do? Donate clothes? Save them in a box, hopefully to never use again?
If you totally got rid of them, when did you do it?

I was scared to part with my fat clothes they were like my security blanket for when I over ate which was always after a little more than a month out I can finally part with my fat clothes. It's a great feeling to know I won't need to wear them or save them anymore.
