6 Pairs of Pants for Less Than $24



Recommended Posts

23.50 to be exact. All brand names, all from Goodwill. It took some hunting and dressing room time and 4 different trips in all.

Pre vsg I had in 2 large closets sizes 20, 18, 16, and some 14. I had gotten to the point where even the 20s were tight and only a few items fit. That was in July of 2012.

I was 5'3 218 lbs. mow I'm around 150 lbs and wearing a size 10.

No way am I investing in a new wardrobe yet. I actually love my pants and capris from Goodwill. I selected carefully. They have no stains, tears or worn spots. Some even look and feel new.

Don't be afraid to go to Goodwill, yard sales, the Salvation Army or consignment shops.

Delta Girl, you're my kinda folks.

I am happy to discover that my new home in Florida is near many second hand stores including Goodwill and Sally Anns, (Salvation Army). I have never felt even a twinge of shame going into such places. They were my refuge when I could not buy clothes big enough in regular stores and they helped me during my various stages of shrinking. Now that I am pretty well at a stable place, I still go there. I have bought some really good clothing, many with new tags still attached.

i shop the smiling g all the time, Probably 70% of my clothes come from there. I don't feel bad when they get too big (or to little, pre-sleeve). I just re-donate them back.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
