1st purge of the wardrobe!



Recommended Posts

None of my clothes fit! But this time I'm happy about it. It used to be that none of them fit because they were too small now they are too big! These to piles are just from my dresser. The closet is next! I've gone from a 22 to a 14 and even a few 12 in 5 1/2 months but im not done yet. Ive been shopping but I don't want to by to much because im hoping to get to a comfortable 10 or maybe even an 8. I have NEVER been a single digit so that

doesn't even seem possible but I will just keep plugging along.

I haven't had my surgery yet (April 29, 2013) but I've already given my winter clothes away instead of packing them up. My boyfriend is more excited about clothes shopping than I am...but I've already started the purge.

I think I am going to closet purge this weekend... Throw away/dontate all my out of season clothes... Most of them are already too big as it is... I know in Oct/Nov they will be really big!

Look for a local support group and ask if they have a clothing exchange. It is a great way to help fellow losers on their way down!

Instead of giving them to the Goodwill (which charges way too much for FREE items that they get), have you thought of donating them to someone on this site? I shipped clothes to Houston, TX and to Nebraska. They just paid for shipping. I know it's easier to pack them up and drop them off at the Goodwill, but know that people in need have to pay like $8 for a pair of jeans that they got for free.

There's a clothing exhange forum on the general forums list. Just a suggestion...

I'm still waiting on my surgery date... hopefully by the end of May or some time in June I'll be sleeved. But doing the closet purge is one the most favorite things I look forward to. I have thought I may go to Goodwill to shop for smaller clothes at the same time I'm dropping off my donations. Sometimes they have some very decent things to buy and in our area are very inexpensive. I'm thinking that way, I won't have to shell out lots of money on new smaller transition clothes that I'll end up bringing right back to donate as I lose more weight... lol. Then, when I get within 20 lbs of goal, my hubby has promised to hire a stylist and get me a whole new wardrobe... never in my life have I been so excited about something like that...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
