NYC clothing exchange



Recommended Posts

For those in the NYC area, I just received an email from NYU Bariatric Group. There will be a clothing exchange on September 7th. I've cut and pasted the info below. I'm bringing a bunch of things that no longer fit me and were very gently worn including my winter coat from last year. I hope everything gets taken. I also hope that others on this site stop by to drop off or pick up new things.

Join us in midtown Manhattan

Sunday * September 7, 2014 * 11 a.m.–2 p.m.

Where: BOTTOMLESS CLOSET

[in the Hotel Pennsylvania opposite Penn Station & Madison Square Garden]

401 Seventh Avenue, Level B, Suite 40 (bet. West 32nd and West 33rd Streets)

*** Take Elevator #1 to Level B; follow signs ***

  • Everything must be clean, intact and ready for wearing.
  • Intimates (e.g., workout clothes, underwear, swimwear, sleepwear, socks, hosiery) must be new/unused/unworn.
  • Accessories are great (belts, jewelry, scarves, neckties, purses, shoes, etc.).
  • Dressing rooms are available.

If you need nothing now, feel free to stop by with items you're no longer using and stay for the conversation.

Bottomless Closet, our host, helps disadvantaged NYC women enter and succeed in the workforce and improve the quality of their lives. All items not adopted during our event are donated to BC. Documents will be available for tax purposes.

Contact bandsterswap@yahoo.com if you have any questions about the exchange. If you'd like to help set up, please come at 10:00. If you're able to stay a little past 2:00 to straighten up, please do.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS, GoWalking!! I missed the last Bottomless Closet and was pretty upset about it. Their emails must be going into my spam folder because I did not see that email. (Let me go check)

      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.
