Possible Clothing Swap for Texas LBTs...



Recommended Posts

Fellow Texas Bansters, I am thinking about hosting a clothing swap event in my home sometime late January, but am only willing to do it, if there is enough interest. I only have one for sure right now. Let me know if you are interested and what sizes you are wanting to get rid of or find. I live in the far Southwestern part of Mesquite. I am wanting to give up some 28s, 26s, 24s, and a few 22s. I am looking for some 18s. Looking forward to hearing from ya'll. ;-)

Paula, I am in SW Mesquite, close to the Kaufman County Line, you can easily get to my house right off of 20. Take the Lawson Rd Exit and head North and you are about 2 miles away from my house.

Paula is near Lake Charles, she's more like 3-4 hrs away. :)

I could use some 16-18's as well and I have some that I don't use that I'd be glad to share. I also have some brand new lady bendovers waist size 34, black in color (more like 14-16) that I need to sell. Think I paid about $30 each for them. I'll take $15 a pair to get them out of my house. Funny, Lane Bryant used to run huge, but these things run very slim.

Some highlights of the clothes that I am interested in getting rid of:

A red satin slinky nightgown with matching rose robe in size 26-28.

A light pink sweater with pearl button with matching pink tank size 24.

A blue jean bustie with black lace...never been worn, size 24 or 26.

A 2 piece party dress, never been worn in size 24, dark blue with sparkles on the jacket.

Jeans sizes 26 thru 24, in different colors.

Several pieces of nice clothing that can be worn as work attire.

I need the 16-18's too, I need to get rid of the 20-26's I have a few bags of them right now and already gave a bunch after the hurricane Katrina only to see that picture on the news were clothes were piled high and strewn everywhere in a parking lot. They were saying they really needed plus sizes so I gave a lot of bags worth of really nice clothes. I have about 3 bags worth now, I am definately near you. Just let me know if you can find someone who wants our old sizes and I am there!

I live in Mesquite also and if you are off Lawson and 20, thats great, I live In Falcons Lair close to Creek Crossing. I have several clothes to give away 20's and few 18's. I am down to a 16 and can still wear some of my 18's that are not slouchy on me.

looks like we all need smaller clothes and we are all giving away the same sizes HA!! Funny how we North Texans are all around the same size. I was at the Don Pablos in Mesquite last night and there wasnt a woman in there that was not obese. We have more restaurants per capita than any other in the area I think that helps our obesity problem in Mesquite. I just wanted to give my lap band card to every woman in that restaurant last night, specially since I was only able to eat 1 nacho from my plate before I was full. God I love this band!

Sounds great... I'll set it up in my calendar to remind me. :P:)

Even if we can just get together and talk (since we all need about the same size) that would be nice. :)

I'm new to Texas. How far away are you from Sherman/Denison.

It's funny... it seems like we are all looking for the same size!! :)

      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!
