Who has this experience?

I'm approaching my 2 year surgiversary.  I've been the same weight/size since last May.  This Spring/Summer is the first time I've got a wardrobe that was packed away at the end of last season--here's the issue.

I have this gut wrenching fear that when I pull out my Spring/Summer clothes they wont fit!  I don't know why because I'm the same size I was last May.  I've been in the same jeans since then and I haven't gained an ounce. 

I guess it goes back to all the years I was getting bigger and bigger and nothing fit from year to year.  Then for an entire year I was getting rid of everything every season as I was shrinking.  This really is the first time I'll be wearing my clothes for a repeat season since hitting goal.  I have on a sundress today that I bought at the end of season last year and it fits just like it did when I bought it so I know my fear is irrational--does anyone else go through this?

Oh Kim...I totally relate to your feelings.  They keep telling us the docs didn't do surgery on our brains...and this fear is a perfect example.  My recommendation is that you pull out that bag of spring/summer clothes...and try on a pair of shorts!  Put the 'beast' to rest...I still look in the mirror and think 'have I really shrunk that much?'.  My DH pulled out a picture of me pre-surgery...me on my scooter....how dumb!  I gotta see 'me' in a picture because I can't believe the mirror...crazy, right?  I'm like you, I got rid of all the 'big' clothes...I can't afford to go up in size...keeps me honest and accountable ^_^  But I don't know if I'll ever get over the worry that something won't fit..especially if I haven't worn it for a while.
Now, go on...try on that pair of shorts...set your mind at ease...nobody is watching!

It's bound to get better as the time passes..I have my box under the bed too and it gets easier each spring. What I tend to do is buy stuff early spring cuz I figure the stuff won't fit...If I could wait just alittle longer opening that box under the bed would be better than shopping..AND if I could wait I could check the year old stuff out closer and discard the extra worn stuff..

As Nancy said, they worked on our middles and not our heads..it takes alot of time..

Thanks!  I'm going to do the 'seasonal swap' this weekend since we are already in shorts weather here! 

I even have a ****tail dress that I periodically put on just to make sure it still fits.....it is completely unforgiving so I KNOW if that fits everything else should....yet I still worry!

Have a great day and thanks for the feedback.

Hi- new to this board. I am still 8 lbs from Dr. goal but am very happy to stay where i am at one year out. I have this issue Every Single Time I get dressed. I look at everything and think, it is way too small, will never fit. But it does! Jenny T
