Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I just had to share a HUGE NSV (non-scale victory) with my friends here!

It took me 8 hours (non-stop) to clean out my closet and get rid of clothes that no longer fit.

I am happy to report that there is no articles of clothing in my closet that are 1,2 or 3X. I am also happy to report that there are no pants with a "W" on the end (18W, 20W, etc).

The ONLY sizes I have in my closet are 14 & 16 pants, and L & XL shirts.

I have previously cleared out sizes 20, & 18, but this one is the best so far (of course). I know there will be at least 3 more "closet cleanings" for me, but I feel so great right now, I just wanted to share. Thanks for listening!

That is the best!! I've done the same thing a few times and have sent packages of clothing to a bunch of other bandsters who need transition sizes. It's such a great feeling to be able to do that. . . And, of course, to make room for new clothes!

Hi!

I just did my first one this Sunday...took me 6 hours as well...90% of the clothes in there wouldn't fit anymore! The funny thing is that there was a big section of the clothe, that I had put aside a long time ago, because it was too small, in hope of maybe one day loosing some weight...turns out that the clothes was too big..awww so sad!

I went down from a size 6X to a size 3X...and I'm not nearly done!

Plus my closet is super neat now...and...airy! hehehe!

That is so cool!!!!!! I can't wait to do that but I don't know where I am going to find 8 hrs- you must have had a TON of clothes. I am planning on cleaning out my closet when I cross over from the 200's to 100's- 8.8 more lbs!!! What are you going to do with all your clothes?

      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.
