three pairs of pants....



Recommended Posts

Recently I noticed that I could pull down my jeans without unzipping (again :) ...) so off to Goodwill I went, and got 4 pairs for under $20...it's just so annoying that we have to try on every pair as each manufacturer is different...but down 2 more sizes in JEANS!! :D :P

Looking good, @@greensleeve! I just donated lots of baggy clothes, but I'm keeping my only pair of big jeans for my final "after" photo when I hold them next to me!

@JustWatchMe I did the same thing...kept one pair of BIG PANTY jeans (LOL) ... just as a reminder of how far I've come...and where I NEVER want to be again!

I just realized....I gave up on jeans a couple of years ago. I have exactly one pair of pants that have pockets. Everything else is stretchy....I'm am so looking forward to hitting the thrift store for actual jeans :-)

All my old clothes are boxed up for the local shelter/resale shop. I'm at three boxes now, and soon to be more. I already went shopping in my attic and pulled down a bunch of clothes I haven't fit into in years. All but two or three of the tops fit (and fit well), so I'm looking forward to putting those into the boxes and sending them away.

Through this forum, I met a local girl who had her WLS about 2-3 months after me. Every month or so I'd pass clothes on to her that no longer fit me. She was temporarily unemployed and it helped her transition through the sizes w/minimum expense. I was glad it helped someone I knew.

You can organize a clothing swap with other weight loss patients, place gently used clothing in a consignment shop, donate them to a shelter, pass them on to friends or family, or even have them picked up at your house (Big Sisters in RI will do pickups).

Looking forward to smaller sizes I haven't seen since high school.

      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.

        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
