Surgery Is Aug 2Nd And Im Having The Empthy Nest Thing.



Recommended Posts

Getting so excited as the time gets closer. I often find my self looking for some thing else I can do to get prepaired. Today I think I will go through my closet and dig out some of my smaller clothes (at this size a 16 is smaller clothes) lol. I think when I can start to fit in some of those clothes in the back of my closet, then ill be doing good. Can't wait to see some results.

Yeah, I've started doing some nesting myself. Got rid of all my biggest clothes that I'll never wear again. Kept just a few to get me through the first week or so. It makes it feel more real. I thought the time would drag on but it's actually going by quickly!

My surgery is 8/1, I plan on going through my closet today as well. I have all sizes and think I will pull out the smaller sizes and keep then sorted by sizes in a box or something.

Good luck, you'll be surprised how fast you will fit into those size 16's. I went from size 20/22 to size 8 in six months.

I'm August 2nd too....it feels like all of a sudden, it's coming real quick!...probably because I'm on the pre-op. I feel the exact same way...am I prepared? Have I done enough?..do I really know what to expect when I get home? About a mo th ago I did a huge purge of my entire home, clothes, etc. I'd been holding on so long to the smaller sizes (9-16)..haven't been a 16 for 7 years so those real small sizes are old! Ha-ha! I felt it was really purging to even get rid of the old small clothes...they were also a reminder of my past failures. I felt like this time, this is it! And I'm buying all new clothes and Celebrate each smaller size (or raid my sister's closet) I did keep 2 super small tops...when I fit into those again It will be a good day! :)

Good luck and keep me posted how things are going...message or friend me...I'd like to stay in touch!

      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?
