michelle78 4 Posted August 24, 2012 I put 10 giant trash bags full of cloths in donation bins for Africa. Wasnt even thinking that they won't fit anyone over there. Maybe they'll make stuff with the material. The sizes were 24 to 16 and 4x to 1x even shoes. I was so excited to get rid of them it just didn't set in I guess. I did keep two fav jeans as memory of how big I got. 3 olensoos, ngannnan and ekmaritezate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berniec 166 Posted August 24, 2012 I had some family members that could use my too big clothes. My cousin said it felt like Christmas. I was glad I could help her. When I decided to go through my clothes I was trying on everything and basically everything was too big. I had to go shopping. I didn't buy much because I'm only four months post op, but the clothes I had were so big it didn't look flattering anymore. Luckily I had some clothes in my attic that I haven't worn in years because they were too small. 3 ekmaritezate, ngannnan and olensoos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my3stars 88 Posted August 24, 2012 We have a local support group that does an exchange program and I plan on using this. I think it is great that whomever needs them benefit from them. 4 olensoos, berniec, ngannnan and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbowlin 16 Posted September 22, 2012 I just went through my closet tonight for the first time. I am 3 months out and down 65 pounds. I have no clothes!!! I am shopping at the local thrift shop this week. Can't imagine spending a lot of money on clothes I will be getting rid of in another month or two. Pants are now an 18 from 24. Shirt is size XL from 3x. 4 ngannnan, ekmaritezate, olensoos and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have so many clothes to sell I'm having a hard time getting it all photos.

TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted October 25, 2012 Going back to salvation army got a bag & filling up the next. I didn't want to keep buying pants but if I wear the bigger size makes me feel like a sack of potatoes. 3 olensoos, ngannnan and ekmaritezate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
