Clothes?



Recommended Posts

Hi Veterans! I am 13 months post lapband operation and I've lost 62lbs and I feel FREE!!! But besides that, I cleaned out my closet on Friday night and I have two very large bags of mostly size 18W and 16W that I will NEVER need again. I know many are losing and don't want to spend money on that size knowing they will only be in them temporarily - so how and where do I post them to get rid of them? Most are comfy jeans, corduroys, some shirts, some dress pants (mostly black) a few dresses and skirts... at least 10 pairs of shorts - I live in Georgia so shorts are worn from April til October. I really would like to offer them to this forum - how do I do that? And if any of you are interested - you can have them you just either have to come get them or pay for shipping.

Keep some of the larger clothes. I found out that with the weight loss and loss of fat and insulation when winter comes you have to layer a bit and I needed a size larger or two sizes larger if I have to wear the thermal underwear to keep warm. I clean out my closets two or three times in the process of getting rid of 95 pounds and then filled the closets with smaller sizes. Fortunatly, I was slow at getting rid of all the old 38 and 40 jeans so have a supply to get me though this winter.

What would we do without Goodwill, Salvation Army, and outlet stores. I spent $18 yesterday and got 1 pr jeans, 1 pr nice slacks, 5 sweaters--one from Bergdorf Goodman.

I notice that whenever I clothes shop I automatically go to the larger sizes, then discover that nothing fits. Cool!

      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.
