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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
