Clothes Falling off of me!! HELP!!

detroitdame75 · September 24, 2008

Hi!

Well I am almost 50 pounds down since surgery on June 11th!!!

So I am literally melting!! All my pants are 2-3 sizes too big and my tops are just as bad!! I cannot keep wearing these things to work or to interviews.

Does anyone have any jeans, khaki's, tops they could donate?? Im a size 22 maybe a 20 in a couple weeks at this rate after my first fill last week the pounds are sliding right off of me.

I am in desperate need of clothing and I simply cannot afford to go out and buy any and the thrift stores in my area are not plus size friendly I have literally gone to 10!!

I don't have much money So if you are willing to donate something, anything I would really really appreciate it. I don't know what else to do!!:girl_hug:

thank you thank you thank you for anything you could possibly send!!!

Hi Barbie - we actually have a Clothing Exchange Thread...here's the link Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum - The Clothing X-Change!

You should check out the clothing exchange forum on this website. It might help you to find friendly to free prices on clothing you can wear.

Hello!

Go to FreeCycle.com and see if there is a group in your area. It's a great place to pass on things you no longer need or use, and to find things you'd like. Everything is free.

Hope this helps!

I second the freecycle.org idea. It's a great resource for both getting things you need and giving away things you don't anymore. (Not just for clothes, either.)

I have tons of very nice clothes in 20 and 22. I just packed them up for a yard sale. I will be more than happy to mail you some COD. PM me if you are interested.

Just an idea.. when it was my birthday (a week before my surgery) I told everyone the only thing I wanted was Old Navy and Target gift cards. Those are my CLOTHING only cards. I got about $300 and I figured at those stores it would get me a good amount of stuff.

When the holidays roll around tell anyone who normally gets you a gift that you only want clothing store gift cards so you can get some clothes for your weight loss.

I haven't lost much yet, but I scored a great little sweater at Goodwill WITH THE TAGS STILL ON! I have worn it several times and it makes me feel good just to know that I have something new. Also, do you have "skinny" clothes in other sizes? I happily fit into a pair of pants I haven't worn in about 4 years!

congrads on the rapid weight loss. Did I read it right...you said after your first fill? I had my first fill on the 15th of this month and still feel no restriction. If I wanted to, I could still eat like before I was banded. I go 2morrow for my 2nd fill, hopefully this one will do the trick.
