Purge the closet Day! Time has come Cyber Monday



Recommended Posts

As i close in to the end of the weight loss journey, Actually kinda really content with my current size, But according to all the Calculators and apps still need a dozen more pounds, It is time .................................

So for those of you who have not seen my rebel post - I decided when i did the surgery to not buy clothes or get a hair cut and shave only when i could not handle it any more!

Yes i showered and stayed clean just took the attitude lets be a homeless vagabond clean beach bum during this journey to add a little excitement and variety. I have two teenagers and this was fun to piss them off - So for the first 75 pounds stood strong to my Game.

I can take a size 50 pair of cargo shorts and with two zip ties, pull two belt loops together, add a binder clip and i got some 40's - so the shirt is huge and baggy, No problem just do a side pull and a piece of masking tape and you are good to go! Lets not discuss the seamstress miracles i can do with binder clips and clothes pins!

So finally i have decided to come back to earth! and End the game - For the last couple months i have added a few clothes that fit but now its time, I have a huge walk in closet filled with clothes, so off to home depot to get lawn and leaf bags we went yesterday, 9 Bags later i have a empty closet! It was kinda Sad, Some of my favorites i have had for years! But the time has come to let it go, I keep two complete outfits from when i was the biggest and sealed them in a vacuum seal bag for later viewing.

Went to my Barber shop today and he laughed ..... he was like WTF. Since i have had short hair my whole life - He asked what he should do/ BUZZ CUT LETS GET ER DONE!

I have the advantage over most of you living in Naples Florida, You can do the beach bum look and fit right in. Feel weird today and this was a event i was looking forward to but actually was kinda sad and strange.

Moral of the story - There is none, Just enjoy the journey and enjoy the throwing everything out. I actually donated all my stuff today - but its just a part of the journey !

Time to wreck the AMEX card on Cyber Monday getting clothes

I am kind of new here and a little on the shy side but this is so amazing. Thank you for sharing this! I have not had surgery yet but am looking forward to the day when I can get rid of clothes that are too big this time instead of giving away clothes that are too little for me cause I’ve gotten too big.
enjoy shopping!!

        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
