Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I am spending the day cleaning out my closet and I am thrilled and sad at the same time. I have wayyyyyyyyy to many clothes let me say that up front. 99% of them now have to go or be tailored. I'd rather donate them to someone who can use them. The good new is - ready?
I am down from a size 26/28 pants to a size 20/22 - size 18's here i come. OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, absolutely screaming for joy and loving it.
I put on a pair of suit pants and hold down the hatches, they fell completely off of me and hit the floor.
Not only am i in a 20/22 but they zip all the way up with out a struggle - and shut the noise, have the nerve to have extra room in them.
Okay the fat lady is now singingggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!! KA POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to think this is only the beginning.

As for donation... there is this organization that takes donations of business clothes to help woman (and men) who are going on job interviews...

And Tami -- I am doing the happy dance for you..... That is so exciting.... I wish we lived closer... I have a lot of size 18 clothes that I would love to give to you... But would probably cost more to ship them, than it is worth.... I do have a couple of really nice suits I was going to take to a consignment shop that i would be happy to send to you if you would like.... And I have some capris and jeans that might not be too bad.. Let me know....
Keep up the great work... And good luck heading back to work tomorrow... Don't become a stranger, I would miss you to much....
Love ya girl... Keep those happy posts coming...
2 lb shy of a 100 lb loss now.
Some day will have to go to good will and donate some stuff and shop for smaller ones. been putting it off till I get done losing.
I haven't made time to clean out the closet yet - but I'm gonna have to soon. Because there's a lot that needs to just get gone!!!
My jeans are falling off except the new pair I just bought (16!!!). All my work pants are elastic waist and they aren't falling off yet. The legs are floating around my leg and getting too long now that my butt isn't filling them out!! But I'm waiting to get new ones for a bit.
I did just get new undies this weekend though - glad they come in packs of 6 so I can wear them and not feel too guilty when I'll have to go to another size......
