  1. 1. What will you do with your "fat" clothes after banding?

    • Keep them -- just in case....
    • Get rid of them once & for all!

Well, I plan on donating most, HOWEVER--I do plan on a ceremonial bon-fire at the beach in which I shall burn my fat jeans and a 4X shirt. :)

I donated all of mine to the Vietnam Vets. You just call to schedule a pick-up and then leave the stuff in bags or boxes down by the curb or on your porch. Easy peasy!

I got donated all of my 22 and 20's, leaving me w/ only 18's in the closet. Now I'm down to size 16 and had to buy two pairs of pants and a new bra. If my weight doesn't shift down soon, I'll need to buy at least one more pair of pants because two just isn't going to cut it!

I donated most of mine to Salvation Army about three times...Hit goal...thought I was done losing...donated...down another size and donated again. Some of my "special" peices I gave to some LBT online friends that were a few months behind me.

Wow... I had another thought for my used clothes I think I will cut them up and use them for car rags, I really can get some coverage doing that.

Im planning on giving mine away to the Salvo's or similar... but I am still imagining being able to do it! I have only ever given away the smaller clothes, felt sad that I didn't get there and decided to stop living in the past and focus on the future - how great it will be to go shopping for new clothes because the old ones are too big!

YOU can do it! Focus on the future, as you said. Yesterday was my 1st bandaversary, and I did it. I am now in maintenance, believe me, loving life, and clothes shopping. Good luck to you, too! Karen(kll724):wink2:

I said 'get rid of them' and I really hope that I will do that. I find though that I continue to wear them now even though I'm swimming in them and my skinny clothes from years ago were never given away. So, who knows really?

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
