I've lost 33 pounds so far and I'm throwing out my "fat clothes" today! Anyone else clean out their closet while losing weight?

Yes. But I did keep one pair of my biggest pants. Never forget from whence I came!

I did the same. I kept my joggers that I wore to the hospital on surgery day.

7 months and 5 sizes less later I still don't mind shopping for new clothes [emoji57]

Congratulations! I'm 6 weeks and 3 sizes down lost 35lbs I'm so happy can't wait until next Thursday get here that's my weigh in day! After water Zumba class[emoji3]

I'm seven months out and started squeezing into 2x tops and 20 pants (should have been wearing a 22 - looked like a sausage). Wore a pair of size 10 pants to church yesterday!

Business attire goes to Career Wardrobe http://careerwardrobe.org/ which provides women in transition clothing for interviews. Casual stuff goes to Salvation Army or Goodwill.

A really good consignment store is your friend - I do a lot of shopping there so that I don't feel guilty when I shrink out of clothes - no guilt in shrinking out of a pair of $150 jeans you paid $15 for after 6 weeks. Some of my jeans now (the 12s) are going to my daughter who is a senior in HS.

I'm a member of a bariatric clothing swap, which is a great way of passing on your clothes to women who need them and getting some new clothes for your new self! I'm keeping exactly ONE fat outfit so I remember what size I was, to help me visualize when the scale isn't being encouraging LOL. Everything else I'm selling, donating, or throwing in the trash (used panties for the last one lol!)

Caddygirl- you look great!

I went to the tailor this past week and made 4 dresses smaller. Felt amazing.

On a side note, I've realized I am slightly nervous about trying new clothes on. What if I'm still too big, and get disappointed. This is my 4th month post vsg, and although I have lost a lot of weigh (40+ pounds), I feel like I maybe one more month before I try.

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]
