Ready to ransack the closet..



Recommended Posts

So, now that I'm approved, I can't wait to get rid of half if the contents of my closet.

I'm really fighting the urge..which is silly because my surgery isn't for another month.

And for the record my closet is so messy and packed. My poor husband has half a shelf to use and that's it.

Anyone else have this issue?!

It only makes sense to ransack the closet as things get too big.

I save the closet cleaning for days when I still feel "fat" despite the over 100 lbs weight loss. Because despite the loss, some days I can try on new clothes and the weird sizes don't make sense and make me feel fat, so my best judge is seeing how the clothes I already own are too big. Besides, it's free to try them on, I already own them.

Good luck!

Your closet changing will happen several times over the coming year.

Don't buy expensive clothes on the way down unless you're loaded.

I suggest putting a bag in your closet and dropping the too bigs in one at a time as they make themselves known.

Look at them and remember when you bought them, it's like time travel.

Also, save a few pieces of your biggest stuff, they make for interesting "before and after" pics.

Ha! I love the idea of putting a bag in the closet to just toss too big stuff in.

I never thought about this part of it..my husband hasn't even seen a good 90% of my actual real wardrobe!

We've been together 9 years and I've been big the whole time.

      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! 😞
