Clothing swap anyone?



Recommended Posts

I did a search and I've seen it mentioned, but can't find anything here that has said a 'swap' is actually up and running. I've even investigated google locally, and NOTHING.

Does anyone else think a clothing swap is a good idea? I do; can't imagine having to rebuy for different sizes along the way.

Can anyone point me in the right direction???:)

I'm for it. I think we could get a small collection going and just send them to the person in need. I have lots of 24's, 3x's. I'm now going out of 20's and 2 x's and could use 18's.

I don't really care to make any profit, maybe just postage reimbursed. We did this when our babies were small. there was a group who just sent on the baby clothes when one needed them and that person sent them on to the next. I think it could work real easy.

I have 6 HUGE bags full of clothes I need to get rid of. Sizes 20 and 22 mostly. One whole bag is all Tommy Hilfiger. I would love to pass it on to someone from LBT!

DrewsLou!!

I am in need of 20/22s!! My 24s are starting to get baggy!

I'm going to be out in CO next week for my first fill...maybe we could get together and I could take some off your hands? I'll have my sisters car on Friday the 12th, so I can come to you if it's convenient!

PM me and let me know!! It would be great to meet you in person! Maybe we could meet for 'lunch' *for me it'd be Soup since I will have just been filled* ;-)

Fantastic! Perhaps we can get a sticky out of this....keep it on hand, update regulary with what is available. We can be sure to ONLY send PM's for what we're interested in...have an understanding that postage reimbursement is only fair. And of course, first come first served basis. Sound good for ground 'rules'?? I think this will be fantastic, and could be done....

I have some sizes 24 - 28 pants and 3x/2x tops to donate in exchange for 20-22 pants.

All of my clothes are business-casual, purchased from Lane Bryant or The Avenue. Navy, Khaki, Black. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

Hey all...

Over the weekend, I'm going to think about giving our swap some 'structure'...to make it easier for all. If you have any suggestions, I'd gladly take them. Going to work on the DB, to see if he can even get a web page together...

:)

      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!
