Day 12 Post-Op-- Heavy Duty Cleaning! Tossin' My Big Old Clothes!

Wow! Today was the most physically demanding day I've had since surgery!

 

I cleaned out the walk-in closet, and sorted through the bags of items that were piling up in the living room from our garage sale expeditions. My LORD did I throw out a lot of clothes. I feel like I didn't jump the gun on this--lots of the stuff is 24/26 or 22/24 anyway, and that doesn't fit me anymore. But my goodness--all the clothes I kept just because they fit! About 60% of my closet was old lady handmedowns (not that there's anything wrong with handmedowns obviously!) But there was so much in there that didn't suit my style, looked like it belonged in a retirement community, or was just kinda ugly but I kept it because the size was ok.

 

Not anymore!

 

Out goes the ugly orange shorts, and the hideous knit sleeveless tops, the stripey clown pants--the lot!

 

That feels really good!

 

I finally got around to watching the video of my surgery, which I'll write about in detail later. Does everybody's surgeon make a video of their VSG procedure, or is mine just weird? lol It's amazing that that happened inside me, and I'm feeling pretty darn normal!

Grats on getting some clothes tossing done!! I hope to be doing that in the upcoming weeks as well. I'll have to check with my doctor to see if they take a video, it would be interesting, and probably a bit surreal, to see.
