Yep. Dumped a ton of fat cloths to neighbors and our local women's shelter as well as transitional units. Like many, I've kept a fat outfit and put it on, of which it falls right off of me. Makes me happy on days I'm frustrated. [emoji254]

I really need to do this. I'm 5 months post op and 90 pounds down. I've gone from a tight 22 to a comfortable 14misses (14 plus are way to big) though I did notice today they are getting loose. My closet is still filled with 22 pants and 2X shirts I couldn't' possibly wear. I've been buying a handful of items in my new sizes to rotate.

I haven't been able to shop for regular-sized clothes in decades, so I'm pretty excited about the prospect. I have no idea how I'll figure out what size to buy! I'm going to keep wearing my current wardrobe until it falls off me--I have so much weight to lose I don't want to spend any more money on clothes along the way than I can help. I'll keep a couple of things as reminders--but I can't wait to buy a new wardrobe!!

I LOOOOOVEEEE Overalls because you can wear them through about 6 Pant sizes because of the side buttons plus they keep you from displaying your Plumbers Crack. I buy Round House Brand they are American Made and Fit Well. I buy 2 New Pair every 2 Months. Heck I wear them everywhere even to the Club. This post has me thinking though and I believe I will clean out my Closet this weekend.

@EmEdge Just Do It they are so Comfortable and you can accessorize them easily to give them a little Bling. I have every Color they make and always get Compliments on them. My Favorite pair is probably my Railroad Style with the Blue & White Stripes. I have been lifting again so hopefully one day in 18 months or so I can make them look Fly at the Beach with the No Shirt look.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to pee when you're wearing those? [emoji23]

      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!!
