Feels great, doesn't it?!

DH and I just got done cleaning out our MB closet. I must have pulled out at least 90% of the clothes in there... and I still have two more closets and a ton of storage totes to go through. I've been exiled to my laptop because my entire desk, office chair, and literally half the office floor is covered with my clothes that I've "undergrown". We're talking - seriously - at least 10 - 15 55g trash bags full. Anyone need sizes between 28 - 32 and even some larger? ;)

I always need clothes...I'm helping my son through college and money is tight! I'm in a 30/32 or a 4x depending on the fit. What are you selling and how much?? Have you thought about putting them on eBay?

Flower your story is similar to mine. My sis gave me small clothes at one time that I embarrassingly couldn't fit, now I'm wearing them and some of them I can't fit anymore b/c they are too big. All of my size 18's are no longer wearable. I look like im drowning in those (had a few favorite pair of pants from Lane Bryant).

I'm in a size 16 and some 14's. My tops are 12/14 but my bottoms are 14/16, mostly 16's. I got alot of belly to lose and I think i'd be a comfy 14 if not for my belly, b/c my legs have alot of room in them, but the belly is snug. Can't wait to fit comfortably in the 14's then have surgery. LOL, my lil girl said to me yesterday, "momma, let's get that stomach off and go buy a new one..k?" She said that 4 or 5 times yesterday, she's 4. She's been watching the Discovery channel with me where the women undergo tummy tucks and she knows that I want it done. I swear that they'd cut off about 10lbs of fat off of me. Then I'd have 42lbs to go(sighs), soon enough.

Isn't it fun when your clothes are too big? Don't spend very much money on new clothes because your new clothes will be too big in the near future.

Our support group in Tacoma, WA does a clothing exchange two times a year. I am excited that I have a couple of boxes to contribute. Keep up the great work everyone.

WOW great job. It is neat to shop at the other end of my closet; the smaller clothes side. Keep up the good work.

This is exactly my situation, too! I have a whole other wardrobe waiting for me to wear :eek: I'm hoping to be in the 2X's by fall. I started in a 4X when I was banded. I'm SO looking forward to getting rid of those for good!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
