Are Those New Jeans?



Recommended Posts

Nope! You just haven't seen them on me

for a while! And the last time you saw them I had to jump off the roof to get in them! Not this time! Slid right on. I am down 25.4 lbs since starting my 2 week liquid diet on 10/15/13. I am finally starting to notice it in my clothes. Guess they were all a little tighter than I thought????

I get that all the time at work, "is that a new shirt/pants/dress?" And my answer is always the same as yours, "Nope, just haven't worn it in x number of years.

I'm really looking forward to when I run out of my smaller size clothing and get to start buying new clothes. :rolleyes:

I'm wallowing in my too big clothes still, not wanting to purchase new ones just yet. I have some things that are smaller and I have to get into my attic to dig them out.

I'm so not the clothes person, but it does feel good to see how big my pants are now! Problem is I am going to have to take them to tailor soon or wear a belt (being short waist-ed this is a bit uncomfortable for me at the port site) before they start falling down. I no longer have to unbutton or unzip them to get them off!

I also have tons of clothes that were too small and now my closet is crammed tight as I can't bring myself to abandon clothes that I'm starting to swim in.

I've committed myself to throwing away at least 1 article of clothing a month (the largest and oldest thing specifically). It's slowly getting easier but after years of struggling to find clothes that fit it's hard to just "throw clothes away" even when they're too worn out to even donate.

I like that idea Fred, and my husband will just LOVE it! Between work clothes and casual clothes not to mention the shoes....he'd be over the moon if I got rid of at least one thing a month!

My closet is pretty much bare...it used to be full...and I can't "shop" in my closet any longer in my smaller clothes...its time. Time to go get new clothes. Sigh...and shoes. My feet have shrunk a whole size. Went from almost a size 26 to 16 in bottoms aand 14 in tops...since January.

Get a new outfit. It is fantastic for your self esteem. I want new uniforms. I've only been wearing this batch 3 or 4 months, but I'm going to wear them through the winter cuz I can get my long johns under them.....and easily.

I say shed the old stuff that's too big -- cause WE ARE NOT GOING BACK THERE! And shedding in general just feels good. Unless you are my husband or son, who rifle through bags in the car to see if I'm throwing out any of their stuff.

I had some of my old favorites from 10 years age still tucked away, hoping one day they would fit. Some jeans do , some im still working on. I love to try on clothes now and they are too big.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
