So I haven't really lost enough weight for a ton of my clothes to be way too large yet but I do have a few things that are too big and a ton of things that are not very flattering. REALLY enjoying getting rid of things and making space.

Does anyone have a favorite charity they like to donate too?

Heh.. I first read your topic as purging I closet!?!?

A local donation place that's really good is a place that helps homeless or displaced homemakers get back into the job market

We have a resale shop close by that uses all their proceeds for the local animal shelter. At 8 months post op, I'm still cleaning out my closet. It's an ongoing thing.

Maybe someone here would like them? They pay for the flat rate box and you stuff it full of goodies.

About the same time I was ready to start purging some items, I received a donation bad in the mail from the Lupus foundation. They request you fill it up and give them a call. They came and picked up 3 big bags of very good condition items. Double my NSV!!

I have donated clothes in the past to a charity called Dress for Success http://www.dressforsuccess.org/supportdfs_donate_clothing.aspx

I plan to donate my stuff here in the future... I don't know if you have ever tried to shop second hand stores for plus size clothes... It is difficult and charities like this are in HUGE need of plus size clothing!

      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.
