We have a local deals and steals website on Facebook where I sell mine. If they don't sell on there then I take them to consignment but I don't get much that way.

I am sending mine to a thirift store in New Orleans which is run by and benefits VRC (aka Pit Bulls and Parolees). They were too nice to just donate to Goodwill, and at least this way the money will benefit their organization and the doggies :)

At the time I donated I was on lapbandtalk.com (revision) and gave mine to people who needed them on there. Sent 3 big boxes to 3 different people just for shipping prices. And my sister in law made out like a bandit. Lots of J Jill, Eddie Bauer, and Old Navy stuff with tags still on em.

U might want to try the clthing exchange on this site. Good luck

It's hard when the clothes are nice, but I donate them anyway.

My doctor's office offers a support group and once a month you can bring clothes that don't fit and then someone there is bound to have your size. Saves money for everyone, and it's fun to do. Also, then you get to see that they go to "a nice home" so to speak. lol.

You might want to suggest this to your doctor if they have support groups, or if they wouldn't mind keeping the office open late one day a month for a clothing exchange.

I am just starting my journey and will have surgery in March or April. I can't wait until I can ask this question! I will be donating them to shelters so that they can be of good use to someone.

I totally forgot about this website called Twice.

They only take higher end clothing (there's a list) and you mail in your clothes and they give you a quote and you can sell it to them or they will send it back. Then you can also buy used clothes from them.

www.liketwice.com

(if you feel like it, my referral link will give us both store credit but that's NOT why I posted about it, so I hope no one minds: liketwice.com/SN5s0)

The one good thing about years of yo-yo dieting is that I own clothes in every size from 14-22!

      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.
