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.

I am a 22 now but anticipate going into an 18/20 quite soon. I have some new clothes, too and would love to participate in this. I live on Long Island.

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 :)

      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.
