For me, it has been a combination of things. Mind over matter (staying focused on maintaining my goals), practicing portion control and discipline.
I couldn't wait to get rid of my old clothes and donated them!
Congratulations on your weight loss so far! Getting your protein in is very important and feeling unsure is understandable. As long as you follow your surgeon's guidelines and that of the dietitian, you will be ok.
Trying to learn from those of you who are further down the road in your weight loss surgery journey...what have you found most helpful to you in maintaining your weight loss?
I did keep one outfit as a reminder of where I came from. The rest I let another super morbidly obese friend have first dibs at, and the rest I donated. I never want to go back there again. I do understand the sentimentality since your mom made them, though. I guess another option is to pack them up in a box and put them in storage - and hope you'll never have to wear them again!
I am 3 weeks post op and I am down 28 lbs. I have one more week of soft foods. Weird thing is that I am wondering what I do after that. I have read the materials and I think I am supposed to just focus on getting my protein. I am not sure why I feel scared or unsure right now...
Not here! I kept one pair of jeans for a reminder and got rid of the rest. I hope that my old "favorite" tops are some else's favorites now

Did anyone have difficulty getting rid of your old clothes after weight loss surgery, i dont why im have hard time getting rid of clothes when I weight over 600 lbs, half the clothes I use to wear where homemade by mom and i, Also I think when I throw them away or give them away i think i might need them again for some reason
keeping old clothes give you permission TOneed them again. Gives you permission to gain becsuse youknow you have clothes to grow back into.
its easier to let yourself gain when you know you have big clothes on hand .
I kept one pair of pants and donated the rest. I've not regretted getting rid of them in 17 years.
Every so often I'll take out those size 24s and be grateful for my 10/12s
Keep something so you can look back at where you started but don't ever think that you will need them again.
