Geting Rid of OLD JEANS



Recommended Posts

YEP, I am feeling pretty darn good today even it is raining , gray and an all around crappy day.

GOOD NEWS:

I took a pair of jeans off of the hanger, and was able to slip them on WITHOUT unbuttoning or unzippingthem..

BAD NEWS: My bras are to big now and at $45 a bra, I cannot afford to replace them right now . I'll buy a new one today and do the wash it out every night --:)

Just a suggestion - have you tried going to Goodwill as you lose weight for the intermittent sizes you will be? Maybe not for intimates such as a bra but they do have other nice clothes, sometimes you even can luck out and they still have the tags on them.

Do you have a Saver's in your area? If you turn in 5 things you get a 20% off your entire purchase coupon and all their money goes to Big Brothers Big sisters. I got some awesome stuff there and know my money is going to a good cause!

Congrats on your continued weight loss! :) Have you looked at "Justmysize.com" for bras? They always have bras on sale. This is the only place I get mine. I refuse to spend more than around $20 on a bra. I have bought them for as little has $15.99 each (plus s/h). This is still a great deal. Walmart also has bras at reasonable prices. Hope this helps.

I have also been getting stuff on eBay. They have a ton of stuff new with tags on there. Perfect for me, as I'm in between sizes and don't have the $$ to spend on 5 different sized wardrobes LOL

Also, consignment shops have really good deals too. Not sure if you have those in your area---always good to check it out.

I'm a 'Just My Size' bra girl. I hate bras but they fit so well and they even carry some without those torturous underwisres...and, as someone already said, they are very reasonably priced. I only paid $16 a piece for my last couple.

Thanks for the info.. I will have to check out JMS website and as for the goodwill.. I cannot handle the smell of the one here.. I start sneezing and get a monstor hedache from the place ..

Don't have a Savers near by.. May have to do a mini-road trip.. BUT also have some old clothes that did not sell at my yard sale 2 years ago-- may try them on .. Would be like a whole new wardrobe again.

Congrats on needing new bras! I need them too so I went to JC Pennys and got 2 cheap ones. I'm a bra snob and I hate wearing the cheap stuff but the ones I like are $75 - $85 per bra and dont want to get good ones again till I am down another 30 pounds AT LEAST!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
