Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Will u throw out your "big" clothes



Recommended Posts

you can help pay for some of your expense by taking your better clothes to a cosignment store, here you can sell you nice stuff for some money, as you must replace your clothe anyhow. It is not much, but I shop at these places for a good suit and I will be taking them back LOL! The rest -the shelters or a house -fire victims or womens shelters, many times these gals leave home with very little- A lot of my old clothes are in Haiti, from the earthquque. Lots of need out there!

I gave away 12 lawn size trash bags full of clothes to two women in our church who are 100-200 pounds heavier than me.

They both had wls. I even put up all my winter clothes cause i wont fit in them by winter.

I have friends and family that I have been giving my clothes to. Now I am in a size 12 and if I continue to lose, I don't know who I will give the clothes to. I guess Goodwill. I buy all my clothes at Goodwill now because I don't stay in them for very long. The Goodwill I went to while in SC had a closeout rack with clothes that came from Target. I bought nice shorts in every color for $1.50 in a size 10. That gives me something to work toward. I love being able to dress a little more stylishly now. They don't make cute clothes in plus sizes!

I got rid of all mine except for 1 pair of pants...

We have a clothing site here, You can scroll down the Foreum and see it's a new site.

People are always looking for cloths.

I just said pay for the shipping, and you can have it all.

It went to someone that had no 2-3x sizes, and she knew she wouldn't be in them for long.

So point is it's useless to invest in them.

So help someone out. If it don't go, then give it to Goodwill or someone.

I have donated all of my big clothes (8 bags, so far). I have lots of clothes in smaller sizes (I guess I'm either an optimist or a hoarder), but I will donate those too, when I shrink out of them! I've been picking up smaller size clothes at costco (like jeans and t-shirts) that I will donate later, as well.

I periodically go through my clothes and bag up anything that is to big, but also almost everything that fits me comfortably. I might keep 2 outfits that fit me well. That gives me motivation to continue losing weight!

I gave all of my "big" clothes to other bandsters (save for my "Jared" pants that I keep to remind myself from whence I came)! I met so many people through my blog, and sent bundles of clothing all over the U.S. to different bandsters -- and those bandsters have sent their clothes to others, and so on and so on. It's been a really fun part of the banded experience for me. I bet there are plenty of people on this site who would be thrilled to fit into your old size 18s!

Congratulations on your success!!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
