Don't have RNY.

Especially if you're a miser when it comes to clothing.

I'm giving away perfectly good clothes because I've shrunk out of them. Unworn pants and shirts because I've lost inches so quickly I've shrunk out of them before I even got round to wearing them.

Perfectly lovely leather coat (my favorite) now sits on me like a sack. All my 3X shirts are too baggy. Heck even having to throwaway unused underwear. Shoes shrinking off me.




Before the surgery I kept putting things off. I was never good enough. One of the benefits of WLS is that you start to believe in yourself. Check out my blog:

LOL!  Your post scared me for a second...I thought someting must have all of a sudden gone horribly wrong for you all of a sudden! LOL!  Couldn't believe that post would be coming from you!

Glad to hear it is only your clothes being thrown away!  My heartbreaking breakup was with my shoes.  Was an 8 and am now a 7....i literally walk right out of them.....sigh.  My lovely shoooozes!  Sigh.

 

 

Karla  - Stayin positive and moving forward!!!

You're too funny. I used to hate shopping, now it's ok.  I too had to go buy new shoes cause everything shrunk.

Value Village becomes your new best friend and don't buy smaller size underwear until you actually need them because you could actually skip sizes.

 Just a thought.  You might want to consider selling them on consignment.  Most cities have a few and you could be helping someone out.  The one I use donates the clothes that don't sell to a group that helps people that need clothes to prepare to get jobs.  Just saying.

Andrew, I so agree I have gotten rid of at least 35 boxes of clothes and have another load going out, to another friend, hehe,  I went out shopping and got nothing had to go out with someone to avoid a panic attack, I don't know how to shop in normal stores.  I was lucky that I had smaller sizes and friends that gave me smaller sizes, so I didn't have to buy alot, but man getting rid of everything is so hard.  I have to start all over again.  You just have to bite the bullet and get rid of it, think of all the room for new clothes, that are smaller and they take less space, they ae cheaper and you can fit more in the washer so you save money on laundry. lol

Take Care of you
