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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
