I'm issuing a weekend challenge.

To all of you who have clothes that are TOO BIG in your closet (Laura-ven, I'm looking at you, too)... GET RID OF THEM!!!

You will never need them again. Do not hold on to these clothes as a back-up plan! Plan to succeed!

I'm going to take a look in my closet and dresser and make three piles:

-keep because it fits me, is comfortable, and looks good on me

-throw it away because no one else would want that nasty old/dirty/torn/worn out thing anyways, and

-donate! I always found it frustrating when the only plus size things at Salvation Army were muumuus. My nice things will go directly there.

Good luck, and God speed! Challenge accepted.

Do it, and do it right!

You are psychic girl! I just cleaned out my closet (for the 4th time since surgery - had a wide variety of sizes in there) and the bags are in the back of the car to bring to Salvation Army tomorrow!!

We're all working hard to lose the weight - wearing old baggy clothes not only makes us feel schlumpy - we look bigger than we are in them.

Good for you two! I was noticing the other day that some of my shirts that fit me 100lbs heavier still fit... My husband said "uh... sweetie? They really really don't fit anymore. You just think they do." whoops!

I've been eyeing my summer clothes that are coming up. I don't have enough warm-weather clothes to do laundry only once a week.

Shopping time!

(Holds up hands) Alright...you got me!! lol...yesterday I wore a pair of capri pants that were 24 and I'm down to about 18/20 regular in most "bottoms". I felts kinda embarassed all day at work to be honest. They were very baggy on my butt and thighs, lol. I thought to myself "You really need to give your stuff away that is now too big girl...ummmm, let them go!" I'm with ya. I'll do it Saturday. I don't believe in throwing them away cause no matter how messed up we think they look, someone is always in need (unless it's stained really badly or has blood or something on it of course)

I agree about donating even the rough stuff, but I have gardening shirts that are quite literally unwearable. Stretched out, stained, unraveled seams, etc. THOSE went in the trash. As did old period panties. Can I say that outside of the 'powder room'? yep. I just did.

Good for you! Saturday it is!

      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.

      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! 😞
