I just had the most fun I've had in a while last night...GOING THROUGH CLOTHES!! Never thought that would be considered a "fun" experience.

Trying on clothes that I haven't worn in YEARS (and some only a few months), and comparing how they look now to pictures of when they were in active rotation, was at the same time fun, a bit depressing, and cathartic.

I'm down a size almost 2 months after surgery, in both shirts and pants. Most of my shirts flap on me now, pants are quickly catching up. I'm very glad (now) that I don't often clean out my closet - I realized I have a bunch of stuff that is getting me through this first purge without a shopping spree (although that is on the horizon - I go to Mexico for vacation in a month, and I WILL get my spree then!)

My closet is looking pretty empty - but I can now say I actually wear everything in there!!

Congratulations - I just went through that too. Warning, don't buy your vacation clothes too far off. I bought mine a month out and had to take them all back for a smaller size - so leave the tags on and keep the receipts until you are ready to go. Have fun!

Congratulations!! That is the best feeling in the world to go shopping in your own closet. I loved finding clothes I purchased years ago and finally got to take the tags off!! I agree on the vacation clothes. Wait until two weeks before so they won't be too big :-) congratulations again!!

Congratulations!! I'm about 8 months post op and 8 dress sizes down. I've donated about 6-7 bin bags full of clothes so I understand the empty closet. I'm slowly building a wardrobe again but slowly as clothes are expensive haha

I feel you so hard! I have about 10 outfits now, and that's IT. But I've also set aside a whole bunch of old stuff I really loved to take in once the time comes...
