Nothing fits!

My closet was never  this neat and organized before WLS. I have cleaned it out 4 times in the past 3 months, and after today it looks empty.   I tried on the last of my clothes that fit me two weeks ago and now they are way too big and are laying in a pile on the bed. I know this is a wow moment for me but, I stood there looking at the closet and then looking at the pile of clothes and the other large bag of clothes from two weeks ago, and I kind of got a depressed   feeling. I know it's totally nuts for me to feel one ounce of depression, but its like a part of me is being tossed out. You see, some of these clothes have been around for many years in boxes in the attic waiting for the day when I MIGHT get into them again. Now, I'm having to pack them up for good, no more hanging on to them in hopes that one day I will lose weight and they will fit me again. I guess what has me more depressed than anything is the fact I have to go shopping    and buy new clothes, but I don't want to spend money on things that won't fit  after my tummy tuck. I guess I will continue to shop at the Goodwill Boutique until I stop losing, lol.  This must be one of those times where the weight isn't changing but the inches are still falling off. My body looks like a 90 year old womans, with skin hanging like its melted and everything else hanging along with it. I'm so afraid that plastic surgery is going to be a new addiction for me, because I don't think I can stop at just the TT and breast lift, now I need my legs , arms, neck and under my eyes done. Anyone  willing to donate toward my plastic surgery fund? Just think if everyone on the OH site gave just $20.00, I could have a total body reconstruction done, and just think how rewarding that would be for everyone to see how well their money was spent and what it did to improve my overall well being and mental status.  Anyone wanting to donate can email me and I will send you my address to mail your  cash, check or money order.  This will be the first birthday in many years that I can honestly say I am looking forward to celebrating, I feel like a whole new person and now I have two birthdays every year to celebrate, August 15 and October 31! Woo Hoo.      Sorry this is long, but I needed to get this off my chest..........wait, I have no chest, it's now sitting on my belly, lol.

Mary this is a good thing!!!  This is one of the reasons you had the surgery!!!!!  What size are you wearing? Maybe we need to have another cloth exchange! Happy Birthday to you!!!  I won't be here Wednesday so I am saying it early!!!!!!  Why are we not getting together to celebrate your day?????? Miss you and Sonny, too!!!!

 

I'm in a size 14 right now.  I have never done a birthday celebration so I haven't mentioned it to anyone. I think this is a bad time of year for everyone being out of town and what not. Maybe next year I will have a big bash, lol.

I will see what I have. I think I have some 14s.   Anytime you feel like celebrating your birthday....just let us know Oh...speaking of the melted skin issue...you should have been with Dawn and me yesterday...trying on bras and lingerie...she saw me....and it wasn't pretty.  I don't think there are enought sutures in the world to lift ...nip...and tuck everything that I have hanging.  Honey.......you are not alone!!!!!

I am looking for 18's and 20's if you have any!!!

You look great, it was great seeing you and Sonny last week! Dr Suber speaking tonight, I confirmed!

You go girl!!!!!

Mary... I loved your post. It is so awesome that you have nothing in your closest that fits. I am sorry for your loss....    NOT!!!      I am SOOOOOOOO proud of you!!!   You are awesome and just melting away. You deserve a new wardrobe.... you are a sweet, wonderful friend!!!!   Love ya, Pam Sorry... I don't even own 14's.... but if I did I would give them to you!!! 

Mary, I am right there with you.  I understand.  My scales didn't move for like 2 months but I lost a pants size.  I am now a 12.  I might have some 14's that have gotten too big although I still wear them big.  I hate to spend money on clothes.  You are doing great!! Rachel

Mary...you are a HOOT!  Maybe I can get in on the money making scam...er....IDEA!  My butt and thighs look like an acordion!  We definitely need to go out and celebrate your birthday!  you are one hot 56 year old mama!!! 

As ruff as it is to have to keep getting clothes, at least it's because you are shrinking out of them.  I have had that feeling of giving up an old friend also when it comes to getting rid of my old clothes.  I am to a place now (after about 6-7 stacks of boxes taller than I am) of where I feel frustrated because I have nothing to wear, yet happy to get rid of them because I know it's because I am getting smaller. Keep up the good work. Happy Birthday too!!! I am just now going into a size 16, if you have any you woud like to share, just email me or call me.

Oh Mary! Thank you for the good laugh this morning!  Try not to be depressed over the clothes ... there are plenty of consignment and thrift shops around here to keep you dressed until you get to where you're going.

And girl, let's get together soon and compare skin, want to?  LOL  I scared the little girls at Victoria's Secret over the weekend ... and I kinda enjoyed it!

You are a beautiful woman, and you look younger now than you did when I met you!  But Happy Birthday, anyway!  You're getting better and better!

Love you!
