Love it, Too funny (although my scars will NEVER see the light of day LOL)

Good for her---and how wonderful to have your best friend/sister as a support and cheerleader! You could ask on VST if anyone has used a doctor in her area as a recommendation and place to start....

Rant away....Isn't it the truth what we've subjected our bodies to already...family/coworkers? bless their hearts, but they haven't walked a mile in your shoes.......surround yourself with positive people, even if it's on VST. I haven't told people, and at times I feel like the omission is lying, then I hear the comments one sister say to another, and I know it's the right decision for me.
I think the pre-op is a mindset....Today is day 2 of the official pre-op diet, and it's going good...I write down everything I've had, the time I ate it, and record the liquids......for 2 weeks, it's doable....at least that's what I tell myself LOL

Open my own store, too funny. The original purpose was to pull them out, wash, dry, and hang them downstairs by size (we have a huge area for that)......however I didn't realize how much was up there......
About the hubby.....I didn't want him to come home and walk in on that mess in the hallway......I put it in the spare bedroom....I fessed up, showed him the piles of clothing...he just laughs at me.....I'll go through it...I did see sizes 20-14 (which I think would serve me well for a few months after surgery)....but who knows how dated they are LOL
Thanks everyone!

I need some clarification: Are you in a hurry to get rid of the clothes because you want them gone or because you're afraid of your husband's reaction?
And forget going to the Goodwill, I'm pretty sure you could open one of your own!

So happy for You !!! I am only 8 weeks out, so I can still remember the day I got my approval and surgery date. After all the hoop jumping for insurance it feels like you have finally won the lottery or something. LOL. And don't expect the buyers remorse. I can honestly say I have Not had the first regret about having my surgery. Keep a positive outlook. Your new life of feeling better and feeling better about yourself is just beginning. Yay for You !!!

I wasn't planning on telling anyone other than DH & my sister (by the way, I can so relate to the Mom relationship LOL and I'm 49 as well)....
I have 2 friends who have had WLS and we exercise twice a week together--and both were open about their surgery.....I feel badly not telling them, but once it's out in the open, it's out there, and I'd rather keep this close to home....
