hi all you lovely people, well I am so proud of myself, I sorted out my bedroom wardrobes today (full of clothes too small, clothes too big, clothes new with tags) the clothes that are too small ( I used to wear them at my lower weight) are now in my wardrobe as I am more into that size now or heading that way, the clothes that are now too big (they are always kept because they fit, then they are too big, then they fit again as my weight goes up and down) I bagged the whole lot up and dumped them, no way will I ever go back to that size again , I intend to keep dropping and then keeping the weight off this time, I have never felt so determined, I looked at the clothes and thought, being that size caused most of my issues, so never again….. it felt good to get rid of them, I feel excited about losing more weight and wearing the smaller clothes especially the new tagged ones, I had Alexa playing 60’s music, my favourite era and was dancing away at the same time, today has been a good day, hope you all had a nice day too, take care and enjoy your evening xx
A positive feel today: hi all you lovely... - British Liver Trust
A positive feel today
great to hear you’re feeling more upbeat and positive. This thing is what we make it and we can get on top of it and keep it down! ❤️✊🏻
thank you phoenix, I totally agree, we can’t change our situation but we can change how we deal with it, I’ll prob be all doom and gloom again Tom 😂… only joking hun, hope you are ok xx
Great, good day then. Take each day as it comes and put one foot in front of the other and you’ll get there.
thank you so much my lovely, wise words xx
Well done. I really need to sort my wardrobe. I opened wardrobe door yesterday then closed it again 🤣like you some to big. Some to small and plenty with tags still on. I know what I'm like... I think I keep that as I might wear it.
lol oh honestly that is so me, I keep sorting my wardrobes and keep the same old stuff, today I was ruthless and it felt good, I might do my under bed drawers tomorrow , I do love a good sort out and this was a really good one xx
Wonderful sophia.. sorry I'm late replying moved home today .hectic ..no broadband till Monday so using mobile data Glad it's all done and dusted .
Yes I usually have a good declutter maybe twice a year ,really helps with anxiety levels and mental health.
Your so right in saying that.. we can't change what we are living with but can change how we deal with it.
Love linda x x

Thats great linda😀. I wish you well in your new home, and that you can feel settled once more,with the three amigos 😺😺😺!Best wishes. Chris
Hi Chris 👋.. thank you.. oh I had to move out of my other flat , was only there 3 months lol.my health was suffering my liver consultant was really helpful and wrote a letter that actually helped me terminate my tenancy the landlord was very understanding and offered me a ground floor Maisonette.. I absolutely love it !. Hope things are as good as can be with you Chris
Best wishes linda 😊
I already pitched all of my old clothes. Extreme makeover middle class edition. Lol.
Way to go Sophia! Keep doing small positive things for yourself They add up ! 😀
I recently saw a motivational speaker. Was truly moving. He had lost both hands in an accident. He said that the key he has found to success is 1) take small steps towards goals. 2) Don’t give up. 3) Adapt - keep living your life
I hope everyone has a fabulous rest of the weekend!
good for you as well hun, it’s good to empty the wardrobes, it leaves space to buy more ha ha, aww bless that man, no hands must be awful, yet even he can make small steps and won’t give up and obviously lives life, very inspirational thank you xx
Hi Sophia I’m so pleased you’re having a great day and a clear out is good, but I noticed no men have replied so hear I am, the wife and I are about to do the same because I have had my transplant a month ago and I’m hoping no more Ascites so trousers that are 38 to 44 time to sort them out 👍you have given me the kick I needed ta 😂🤣.💕💕
Stay safe All

Gosh, a month already. You are doing so well and will be inspirational to others awaiting transplant. It’s great to have you back on here and hearing how you are getting on with life. Well done to you - and your wife too.
Hi Dave
As Latanya says - wow a month already - brilliant. Having a clear out is a great idea but please remember the warning about not overdoing anything for at least six months including no hoovering 😀.
Speaking from my own experience I thought I was “king of the castle”, overdid it and four years later after two operations and a large piece of inserted mesh I’m still reaping the rewards 🫤 of not being careful.
Take it easy Dave.
Miles
Thank you ThreeSmiles the wife is on me all the time don’t do that don’t do this 🤣sometimes I go to do things just to get her going 😂🤣 but she just gives me a slap and tells me to behave 😂🤣👍👍
oh wow Dave, a month good for you, how are you doing? , how do you feel compared to how you did feel? I kvow you are still early days but sounds like you are good from the posts I have seen, now the deal is ( tell your wife to hold you to this lol) you sort out all those bigger clothes as you won’t need them again, then the extra space in your wardrobe can be used to house a new wardrobe for your wonderful wife, who has looked after you and cooked those lovely meals for you lol, seriously though I am so pleased to hear you are now on a new road for a new healthy life together, big hugs to you both my lovely xx
Thank you Sophia , I truly feel great so much better than before and the lack of pain is incredible. I’m on no pain meds, I feel warm as beforehand I was so cold all the time. I do have to concentrate on standing up right when walking just to stretch just a little but that’s the only problem I have 🤷🏻♂️😃. 💕💕
Stay safe All
Dogbot 🐶🌈Dave
Well that is all so amazing , only a month on and you feel like this, after feeling so Ill you must have forgotten what normal was like, bet you are loving the feeling, no wonder you always sound happy, life really is a gift isn’t it hun xx
Sorry sophia,but I will leave that 1 to you ladies😄. Well done though love!!
ha ha Chris, now why is it woman love a good sort out , but men don’t? I must admit though, I only like doing my bedroom cupboards , looking at shoes and bags I forgot that I owned , I feel like I have bought new stuff sometimes 😂 hate doing kitchen cupboards though, not interested in finding new kettles or saucepans 😉 take care my lovely xx
Thank you love.I'll stick to sorting the garage out😃!.
Its good to hear you sounding more upbeat.
Best wishes . Chris
noooo, I can’t think of anything worse than sorting out the garage, now I totally get why men don’t like wardrobe sort outs, you prefer the garage, I guess that makes us even then lol, thank you sweetie, I do feel more upbeat, I do have a few little niggles which I’m trying to push back and ignore haha, happy tidying , take care 😘xx
Nothing like a declutter to make you feel better! Enjoy your streamlined wardrobe 😊
thank you sweetie, I should have done it today instead, it’s raining here in Kent, yesterday was a nice day so wasted it really, then again the nice weather and music together helped, not sure I would be in the mood when it’s like this xx
Good morning Sophia. Similar here. Old clothes out!! Spring on the way and the decompensated liver is behaving. Recent bloods indicate that things should not get worse. Possibly even improve towards compensation. It’s a new life but a long road and having the help and support of our family has been so important. Especially our daughter who has been fantastic.
Waiting for weight loss to stabilise (down some 4 stone so far) and endoscopy for varices investigation. Fingers crossed on that one.
oh bless you hun, well done on your weight loss, and for heading in the right direction towards compensated , I agree friends and family including this site have all been amazing and is the support we need, you sound very positive and that in itself is a really good thing and will help you, good luck going forward and enjoy getting a new wardrobe, let’s face it we need to fill the new space after all lol xx
