I had a lot of nice clothes so some went to my BFF who is that size and I sold some on eBay. When I'm stable for a few years I'll probably donate the rest. There's so much!

That's funny! Thankfully, my neighborhood is lacking in porch pirates.

But, I've been selling my clothes on mercari, I've made about $300 so far!

Ha! I wasn't thinking about the porch pirates!! I should put my grungiest sweatpants and hope someone steals them!

lol that’s funny.

I find trying to sell clothes too hard. I have given some away to friends, donated some to op shops and swapped some at clothes swaps. Some I may alter or repurpose if I ever get around to it

lol.

I've donated all of mine to the domestic violence women's shelter. I have a few more bags and I am donating them to women in substance abuse recovery.

Oh, that's hilarious! Seriously, though, I donated mine to St. Vincent de Paul. That's where I bought all of my transition clothes too.

Donated mine to local non profit thrift store. All proceeds go to local men’s and women’s recovery centers as well as to the homeless in my community.

I had tons and tons to donate and still have a closet full! Sadly now I have very little that fits me. I plan to wait as long as I am able to before buying more.

I donated mine to the Salvation Army, was glad to get rid of them... Big clothes take up a lot of space....

Just took six boxes of clothes to a neighbor who has a son who can use them. I'm 30 days prior to surgery and I've lost 16 pounds and one, almost two, pants sizes.

Good will for sure. Gave some to my moms friend. My poor closet looks bare. Husbands clothes are all packed together. I have a few garments hanging up. Looks like I left my husband in a hurry and only left the clothes I didnt want. Lol.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
