I have a huge pile in my closet, but I haven't been brave enough to pass them on just yet. jj

I have been giving mine away in selective batches by how much I liked to wear them. Nonfavorites were given away first; then successive groupings based on how much I wore them. Come to find out, the last batch had several I really need to toss anyway. lol!

BTW. Wore my first pair of size 36 jeans in 13 years to the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival this past Saturday. Sweat like a dawg because it was so hot but TOTALLY worth it!

That is so awesome! It feels great to wear smaller clothes for sure! I am wearing size 16 jeans that I havent worn in years. Looking forward to dropping 6 more pounds and being under 200 for the first time in 20 years!

If any of y'all want to send those clothes my way I wouldn't object. Lol i can't imagine having big bags of clothes to give away. It was very hard to find clothes size 34 that didn't look like tents or have butterflies print or something else that looked like an old lady would wear to Wednesday night bingo. So i just really haven't shopped for clothes in a long time.

Preop weight 389 current weight 301...that's 88 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I am struggling a little. I feel great with my weight loss so far, and I know I have so much more to lose, but I have been falling back into old habits. I am not dumping. :( I guess that's good and bad. I have found myself eating things like pretzels and crackers instead of my Protein. Protein just doesn't sit as well in my pouch. I also am not exercising as much as I should because I am staying so busy with life.... any suggestions?

Mel. it sounds silly but i put post notes on the fridge etc. with questions like " are you really hungry? " also i never take food out of the kitchen.

I know what your hoing through, also DONT buy Snacks that you cant or shouldnt eat. if the family snacks fine but see if they can hide it from you :-) or put a short term ban on tjem intil you are in a better frame of mind.

PS soy nuts or Kosher salted eddamame rocks. high protien low fat just have to watch the sodium. they satisfy that crunchy need.

Hope this helps

RJ

Hey! I remind myself how much the surgery costs and remember the last hurl when I start having a week moment. That usually does the trick.

Same here. :( I also notice when I get stressed I want to nibble again. I don't have many Snacks at home that I like so that helps me out. But being back at school makes it difficult for me to get my exercising in on a daily basis.

I just don't over do it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
