Hey Bandsters! (Hey VQ!)

I know that many of you are currently melting away and rocking your Band, and so, you've shunk out of many of your clothes.

Cushies on the other hand... we go the other way.

There is a young lady on my Cushing's board that is in desperate need of some new clothes.

I'm looking for some very nice casual/formal clothes. (I'm planning on getting rid of practically ALL of my clothes...i've had many of my current clothes since I was 14 - I'm 20 now.)

My size is (or I thought) was a 16 W, but at fashionbug it's WAY too big. But a regular size 16 works, and I'm a petite. My favorite colors are maroon red, white, black, orange, light blues, and purples. I prefer black slacks. Anyways I'd be happy with anything aslong as it's decent and fits okay.

This young lady has had a really hard go of it, especially since she too was raised by wolves.

Let me know if you can help her out

Cheers

I would help if I could. I'm not down to a 16 myself, still in the 18/20/22 range. I wish her the best and God bless you for trying to help. You are a good person. :biggrin1:

hi,vinesqueen! i havent been a 16 for at least 15 years so i'm jealous. but...my program has a post-op support group that encourages people to bring in their clothes as they "ungrow" them. could you talk to someone at your clinic to see if they do something like that. good luck!

I just cleared out clothes a few weeks ago; but I will look again when I am home over the weekend and see if I can find some things still around. I am 5'7" so not petite but maybe I can find some things and if so I would be happy to ship them to you.

Hey Vinesqueen, you might have her check on e-bay as well. I get all of my clothes on e-bay and have always had lots of luck getting cheap clothes there. Size 16 short or petite is actual a pretty common size on there as well. I wish her the best, I hope that helps.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
