Looking to start clothing chain in NY/NJ Area



Recommended Posts

The idea is to line up women in varying sizes, and we would all swap clothes amongst ourselves as we shrink. I have 2x sizes, size 22 pants, 2x skirts, size 22-24 shirts from Lane Bryant. I am currently in about a size 18. If there were somone in a 22, I would giv them to her, and someone else would give me 18s. Please reply if you are in the NY Tri-State area and would like to participate.

I have thought about this many times and would be so happy to participate, but unfortunately I am in S. GA!! I do have a friend who has had lapband too and I have given her a lot of my clothes, the only problem is that I have no one to give to me. angry.gif I am down to a size 14 pants and a L top.

Good luck to you in this Quest for clothes.

It's like a chain. Sarah was a 22 and now needs a 20. She gives the 22 away to Jane, and Jill who is now a 12 has 20.

I have a sister and friend who had bypass the three of us did just this! We all think it's a good idea except for tastes like I dress business casual very low key and my friend and sis are very bold color people so it'd be great to have a plays closet for plus sized women

I just ended up buying lots of clothing on eBay for cheap. Some friends at work have me their "fat clothes" after they had their babies. some skinny people keep lots of different sizes on reserve, too :)

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
