Celebrating giving fat clothes away!



Recommended Posts

:D Just got on Craigslist and gave away my first wave of clothes which were too big now -- several coats, lots of T-shirts, blazers, etc. Two trash bags full of clothes I will never wear again. Felt great, and the bigger guy than me really appreciated the clothes. Wahoo!

Are there any clothes swap groups in the DFW area? Maybe someone who is just a few months ahead of you that would like to sell/donate their clothes that are getting to big for them and get clothes from someone else who is a few months ahead of them?

I don't know, but that is a great idea. I live in a low population area of western Colorado, not too many people who have had surgery, but if anyone wants the next wave of extra tall 50 waist, 3xl shirts, they are welcome to them, I will even ship them to you for free!

Way to go!!! I have been pondering what I will do with my fall/winter clothes. I know I won't be able to use them. The support groups in my area meet at odd times so I can't make it there. Perhaps a women's shelter could use them.

I love getting rid of my fatter clothes. I also really like it when my normal sized friends give me clothes they no longer wear.

Congratulations!

      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.
