Smile Fat Clothes

Well I couldnt sleep this morn , been up since 4am
Crazy woman ehhhhhhh
So I decided to go through my wardrobes and clear out my fat clothes !
Do u think this is the RIGHT thing to do ?
Im still pre op , but have lost half a stone since Monday due to loads of walking and sensible eating !
Im changing my life NOW , not after my surgery .
Im getting prepared for my tool .
Did anyone else do this ?
Is it too soon ?
I have 5 huge refuse sacks full of all lovely clothing , Im sure the charity shop and some other person will be grateful .
But not me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There the Old me

All the best

Sas xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Smile Dont Be Hasty

Hi Sas,
Good idea to start sorting out the wardrobe but dont think i would leave them to the charity shop just yet. Wait untill you have had surgery and get the feel good factor of them being toooooo big!!!!!
I am the same i have a range of clothes from a size 26 to a size 14 so cant wait to work my way through them especially since the size 14/16 clothes are the ones i bought for my honneymoon.....memories.....ahh!!! But 4 years on and 2 babies later i have all my weight back on plus more! What a struggle so i am so reday for this WLS.
Good luck.
Luv Noonie X

I think you should wait until after your surgery and have the satisfaction that they are totally too big and you absolutely cannot wear them.

Be careful about clothing, as you loose weight and go through sizes, you can end up spending a lot of money purchasing clothes. As my doctor said, be careful or you will spend more money on clothes than you did no the surgery.
