Was just reading an article on ThredUp, a site to buy/sell clothes & other items in good shape. I'll probably look at it once I get home from work, but was wondering if anyone here knows anything about the site.

Thanks!!

I have used Thredup. They have great deals and excellent customer service. My one complaint is that the pictures on their website don't show very well, and then they don't provide a lot of details about their clothing items. For example, do these pants have pockets? Stuff like that. But overall I've been really pleased -- it's especially good for more high-end stuff appropriate for work or an evening out. I tend to use EBay for more casual stuff.

Has anyone used Gwynnie Bee? Seems like it might be a good idea during weight loss.

I use Gwynnie Bee, but it's a little tricky. I started off with the 3 at a time program, but I couldn't figure out their logic for the closet items that they sent out. They are really fast at sending items out. I have found that some of their clothes run small.

@Bufflehead thank you! I've donated a lot but still have a lot of work clothes that are too big. Some still have tags on them - so I may check them out for my newer stuff, shoes, etc

      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.
