Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

For those of you who have gone to goo will to buy transition clothes. Do you think there is a better day of the week to go? I am thinking it might be Wednesday as people drop stuff off over the weekend and that would leave Monday and Tues to sort and get stuff off.

I find it odd. It looks like I kept dressy type clothes for a couple of sizes going down but missing some in casual like caprices.

Ask at your goodwill in particular bc they are all different! I like to go on Sundays bc that's the day a new color tag goes on sale at half price. Mine also has a "new items" rack and they put an entire new rack of stuff daily except for Friday-Sunday so I can drop in if I'm grocery shopping next door and just look at that rack!

Sunday and Wednesday are the 99 c day here, so I tend to go on Wednesday night.

I don't go on a specific day so much as I go to the ones in the more affluent areas. The brands are usually higher quality.

Many cities and towns have multiple second-hand / thrift / consignment clothing for sale by these groups:

* Goodwill

* Salvation Army

* Churches (the Episcopalians have really nice clothes ;) )

* Hospitals

* Charitable organizations that support women's shelters and women re-entering the work force

* For-profit consignment clothing stores

* Plato's Closet (this is a for-profit chain)

Online sites that sell second-hand clothing include:

* thredUP

* The Attic

* Poshmark

* mashable

* eBay

What I have heard from clerks at Goodwill is that Tuesday is a good day to go. They receive so many donations over the weekend. It takes them time to get the stuff out on the floor.

Wow. This post was really helpful. I love this site and really enjoy reading all of the wonderful post. I have never shopped at a goodwill, but it will be first on my list when I can drive. I'm 8 days post op, but I have to wear a suit to work 4 days a week. This was really helpful.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
