Donating clothes that no longer fit and I want to give it away



Recommended Posts

I'm just about 3 months out and I've gone down from size 26/28 to 20/22. I've decided that it's time to get rid of some of my clothing, but I'm not sure I want to take it to the Goodwill. I've been there in an attempt to find transition wear and I haven't really had much luck, so donating it would be helpful to anyone like me, who needs transition clothes after surgery. But I also hate for someone to have to pay for clothing that I'm no longer using so.....

If anyone lives in the Inland Empire and needs clothing in sizes 24-28, it's yours. I've already donated some, but I have, you can have for free. Contact me and we can set something up.

I always make a point of donating my clothes to goodwill since they rarely have larger sizes, but the majority of women are larger sized. I feel it is important to donate clothes so that people who are financially challenged have access to them.

Post it in the Clothing and Goods Exchange forum. I found someone locally and gave her a ton of clothes that were too big for me. Someone will appreciate it!

How can I find that forum? I looked for it with no luck. Could it be because I u a e my phone not a computer?

At the top of the page, go to Forums, General Weight Loss Surgery Forums, Clothing and Goods Exchange. I am not sure if you can see the tabs at the top from phone or not. I use my computer! Hope this helps!

I am donating my clothes to a non profit company in Orange County called Human Options. I have given my kids clothes to them as well. They are an agency devoted to helping domestic violence victims.

      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!
