54Shirley 105 Posted April 14, 2011 I brought down my summer cloths to swap out my winter cloths here in Michigan. I found some Capri's that I wore last summer that were to big. Now yes they tie, so I could have looked like I was wearing a potato sack this summer , but,,,,, I don't think so. So I dug a little deeper in my box, and found summer cloths from when I lost weight the first time. I'm glad I kept all of them. I went from a size 32 to a 22/24. Now some people are starting at where I ended up. But what a difference in looks, and nice colors instead of Black, Grey, and Navy. I found Yellows, Mint, Khaki, and well you get the idea. They look nice. Just thought I would share the good news instead of vent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gMommy 4 Posted April 20, 2011 Congratulations on the bright colored clothes! I'm looking forward to being excited daily about what I get to wear instead of dreading to get dressed. My surgeon, Dr. Machado with Sacramento Bariatric Associates, hosts a monthly support group. One of the things they have is a clothing exchange. The clothes that are too big for you now might fit someone else during their journey. I wonder if there is something like that online? That sure would be great! They also have a Protein exchange. Since everybody has different tastes, what doesn't work for you might work for someone else. Anyway, enjoy Spring in all of your pretty Spring colors! You have earned it!:welldone: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
54Shirley 105 Posted April 20, 2011 Thank You very much gMommy. I'm looking forward to a change. So yes I imagine it to be nice, but I still don't believe it. It's hard for me to ever see the real weight loss, it looks like a dream to me. I know it's real, I can tell by the sizes, but I just don't feel it. Maybe when I wear it this summer it will click. But for now in Michigan we are under white out conditions, with 4 - 8" of snow..... So I guess I'm not thinking much about it. I don't know of a site were cloths can be swapped for other sizes. But it is a very good idea. Shirley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
