Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Will u throw out your "big" clothes



Recommended Posts

you can help pay for some of your expense by taking your better clothes to a cosignment store, here you can sell you nice stuff for some money, as you must replace your clothe anyhow. It is not much, but I shop at these places for a good suit and I will be taking them back LOL! The rest -the shelters or a house -fire victims or womens shelters, many times these gals leave home with very little- A lot of my old clothes are in Haiti, from the earthquque. Lots of need out there!

I gave away 12 lawn size trash bags full of clothes to two women in our church who are 100-200 pounds heavier than me.

They both had wls. I even put up all my winter clothes cause i wont fit in them by winter.

I have friends and family that I have been giving my clothes to. Now I am in a size 12 and if I continue to lose, I don't know who I will give the clothes to. I guess Goodwill. I buy all my clothes at Goodwill now because I don't stay in them for very long. The Goodwill I went to while in SC had a closeout rack with clothes that came from Target. I bought nice shorts in every color for $1.50 in a size 10. That gives me something to work toward. I love being able to dress a little more stylishly now. They don't make cute clothes in plus sizes!

I got rid of all mine except for 1 pair of pants...

We have a clothing site here, You can scroll down the Foreum and see it's a new site.

People are always looking for cloths.

I just said pay for the shipping, and you can have it all.

It went to someone that had no 2-3x sizes, and she knew she wouldn't be in them for long.

So point is it's useless to invest in them.

So help someone out. If it don't go, then give it to Goodwill or someone.

I have donated all of my big clothes (8 bags, so far). I have lots of clothes in smaller sizes (I guess I'm either an optimist or a hoarder), but I will donate those too, when I shrink out of them! I've been picking up smaller size clothes at costco (like jeans and t-shirts) that I will donate later, as well.

I periodically go through my clothes and bag up anything that is to big, but also almost everything that fits me comfortably. I might keep 2 outfits that fit me well. That gives me motivation to continue losing weight!

I gave all of my "big" clothes to other bandsters (save for my "Jared" pants that I keep to remind myself from whence I came)! I met so many people through my blog, and sent bundles of clothing all over the U.S. to different bandsters -- and those bandsters have sent their clothes to others, and so on and so on. It's been a really fun part of the banded experience for me. I bet there are plenty of people on this site who would be thrilled to fit into your old size 18s!

Congratulations on your success!!

        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!

      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
