Hi all,

I am having wls in June. I would love to start a clothing exchange in the Chicagoland area. I work in A office and would love to find clothes for a lower price or even do some sort of swap. Anyone interested?

I'm also in Chicagoland. I have 24s, 22s, 20s. Hoping to be out of 18s soon. I have tops ranging from 3X to XL now. I'd be totally interested in an exchange.

Maybe we can organize our own exchange this summer? I would totally be up for helping schedule that. I am in Arlington Heights. There are a ton of thrift stores that I would be up for checking out too!

Sounds good! I am having surgery in June so that would be perfect.

Mandy -- That is so exciting! I just got my date.....6/2. I am currently in 28's and 26's. I have lots of 24's that I can't wait to get into. I am in Arlington Heights. We are neighbors!

Looks like the problem is that most people have the larger sizes to get rid of and not the smaller sizes that would be needed... :(

I might have some 14W, 16 and 16Ws…unfortunately I have already given away a lot of those, but I can dig through a bag I've set aside for a friend. I definitely have a couple of pairs of shorts I've just put in a pile and I probably have some 14W, 16 and 16W dresses.

I know how you feel. I think I'm going to be doing a lot of thrift store shopping.

      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! 😞
