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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
