Any one wants to give away some old plus size clothes!!



Recommended Posts

I am having problems finding reasonable plus size clothes. I dont want to spend much on them because I wont be able to fit them in a few months. Most of my clothes dont fit because they are too big, I've tried ebay,goodwill,salvation army to find cheap clothes, specifally jeans and pants I wear a 24tall in womens pants,and 22 in tops and dresses.Its hard to find discounted fashionable stylish jeans and pants.It would be greatly appreciated.

I wish I had known. I gave away two huge bags of size 24s and some 22s a few weeks ago to a store similar to Goodwill. I have some 22s still and some 20's, though.

I feel your pain, though. I gave away over half my professional wardrobe (slacks, skirts, nice jackets, and also some jeans, tshirts and sweaters), and don't have the money to buy new stuff I don't think I'll be in too long. Thus the glory of thrift stores.

Most plus sized woman have at least heard of Woman Within, Roamans, Jessica London, etc... BUT, there is a website called BCOutlet.com that sells all their clearance for a fraction of the cost! I have been purchasing from them for over a year now and have been very pleased!

It's a little hit and miss with some sizes and colors because is the last of the clearance items, but sometimes you can score GREAT deals!

Good luck everyone!

If all else fails find a person that does alterations to clothes and that shouldn't cost more that 5 or 6 dollars for each item. That's cheaper than buying new pants. I just bought a new belt to keep them up until this winter come and then I will buy some new ones.

I've considered alterations, but only for a few favorite items. I'm very cheap :eek: I've found I can go to the local thrift store and get stuff for $3-$4 that fits. Again, I'm VERY cheap (all my daughter's clothes come from a thrift shop, too).

Find a Goodwill or other thrift shop - I always give to them. Then there are garage sales - look for ones in medium to upper income areas. Fashion Bug, Lane Bryant and Avenue are all awesome and not terribly expensive. Then there is Plato's Closet... they give you credit for clothes you bring in and you can use that credit for clothes they have in stock that others have traded in.

ORRRRR we could do what people who have two different sized feet and organize a swap....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
