Need ideas for repurposing clothes



Recommended Posts

I have some pajama pants from Big Dogs I don't want to throw away. My husband suggested for my flannel BD pants we cut them up and turn them into burp cloths for baby. So we're going to do that. I don't know what to do with the plain cotton knit pants though? Any ideas? This is the last time I'll be able to wear this particular pair I'm wearing because I've got Coppertone Baby thing going on lol.

Have yall done anything to repurpose any of your favorite old clothes? I'd love suggestions!

Hi.

I have a couple of really comfort sweaters, and I am going to turn them into pillows for the family room. And for some of my other cotton clothes, I am not sure, maybe make one of those twist rugs out of it. Where you make stripes of cloth, and them twist it into long ropes, then make oval rugs and stitch it all together. Just as a reminder to myself I am never going to be heavy enough to be able to do that with my clothes again.

      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.
