Getting rid of clothes?



Recommended Posts

I'm working on deep cleaning my bedroom and am wondering when to get rid of clothes? Like my summer clothing, I won't wear any of it for at least 6 months, I live in Ohio and it will be cold until April. Will I really be that much smaller by then? I'm a size 20/22 right now. I had surgery 2 weeks ago and am down 20ish pounds. It is all so abstract to me right now, I can't imagine actually being thin.

What did you do?

I'm 11 weeks out on Monday. I went from 3xl snug - 4xl loose and 38 pants to 2xl perfect and 34 pants. I could easily go to 32 pants right now. I've been donating anything good to Goodwill and everything else will get burned in my front yard on New Years Eve! I plan to wrap up our Christmas tree with my old clothes, crank up "I feel pretty", douse the clothes in gasoline, throw matches at it and disturb the piss out of my neighborhood!

If you have nice work cloths consider donating them to "dress for success". My plan is to give away everything as soon as it's slightly loose. I'm 3 weeks post and already have a big of stuff t,o give away.

I sorted my cloths by size and season and put them in labeled boxes. I had a bulging closet so the cloths where no surprise but I was shocked and all the panties, bras and shape ware.

Probably hundreds of dollars worth most of it never worn.

I did take some cloths to consignment and made some $ but it was to much work to bother.

      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.

      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! 😞
