I cleaned out my closet today. I got rid of over a third of it. I'm starting a new job on Monday and I have NOTHING to wear except for a few pants that I had. No shirts tho. I'm going to need to go shopping. I just don't know where to go nor do I want to spend a alot of money to just grow out of it. I'm not a huge fan of old navy and the Macy's and target we have are small. Marshall's and tjmaxx are awful here. I swear we get the stuff nobody wants from the bigger stores. Ugh. What to do?

My whine of the day... Lol

I am going to hit Goodwill and Savers for now - we have other second hand stores as well. If I need something for an event, I will splurge, but don't want to put much money into clothes at this point. I have also found good deals at Kohls on clearance.

Where did u get the bento-type lunch box? I ordered the actual bento one off Amazon but would like a second one so I don't have to wash that one EVERY night to use the next day. LOL.

Surgery: 6/5/2013

I actually found a great one at Walmart & there is a coupon online for it $2 off (Rubbermaid)...also world market has them...haven't been to Target in a bit so I can't say for sure

Try to sign up for freecycle.org You can get stuff from others free.. Nothing can be sold. And its a great way to give away stuff you don't need to someone who could really use it Hope you have one in your community

Unfortunately, on this man made island I'm on, nobody has ever heard of freecycle. I wish it existed here but alas, it does not. For some reason, the bridge slows technology down as much as the car traffic. We're so behind the times. : (

Chinese food has been great for me too. I just order it without rice or give away the rice. Egg drop Soup is fab!

A friend of mine suggested hitting the Goodwill since we are changing physically faster and that way, we dont have to spend as much do often.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
