I am a 8 days out from Gastric bypass. Yay! Everything is going well. Knock wood.
Here is the thing, and I know its silly. I had to do a 6 month preop diet for insurance and lost 40lbs. Again, yay!
Before going in for surgery I was putting all my winter clothes in bins to get them out of my overstuffed closet. Then I realized, that next winter these will be 100% unusable. I thought about just donating and be done and Celebrate. But I got sad in a weird way. Like that person is gone. That's not me anymore.
There is nothing I want more is to be thinner. Not skinny. I'm fine with a weight that starts with a 1.
Now my closet has clothes from 20 to 34, so its not like I was tossing my entire closet. But it felt like a funeral. Packing up my old self and tossing it. So I still binned up 6 bins and they sit in the master bedroom staring at me.
I guess I'm so used to yoyo dieting with weight I never purged my big clothes (or smaller). But this time I just know its done and will never let myself be this big again. Heck I bought new pjs for the hospital and cant really walk fast in the pants because those will be around my ankles.
Anybody else go through this?
