Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

For those of you who have gone to goo will to buy transition clothes. Do you think there is a better day of the week to go? I am thinking it might be Wednesday as people drop stuff off over the weekend and that would leave Monday and Tues to sort and get stuff off.

I find it odd. It looks like I kept dressy type clothes for a couple of sizes going down but missing some in casual like caprices.

Ask at your goodwill in particular bc they are all different! I like to go on Sundays bc that's the day a new color tag goes on sale at half price. Mine also has a "new items" rack and they put an entire new rack of stuff daily except for Friday-Sunday so I can drop in if I'm grocery shopping next door and just look at that rack!

Sunday and Wednesday are the 99 c day here, so I tend to go on Wednesday night.

I don't go on a specific day so much as I go to the ones in the more affluent areas. The brands are usually higher quality.

Many cities and towns have multiple second-hand / thrift / consignment clothing for sale by these groups:

* Goodwill

* Salvation Army

* Churches (the Episcopalians have really nice clothes ;) )

* Hospitals

* Charitable organizations that support women's shelters and women re-entering the work force

* For-profit consignment clothing stores

* Plato's Closet (this is a for-profit chain)

Online sites that sell second-hand clothing include:

* thredUP

* The Attic

* Poshmark

* mashable

* eBay

What I have heard from clerks at Goodwill is that Tuesday is a good day to go. They receive so many donations over the weekend. It takes them time to get the stuff out on the floor.

Wow. This post was really helpful. I love this site and really enjoy reading all of the wonderful post. I have never shopped at a goodwill, but it will be first on my list when I can drive. I'm 8 days post op, but I have to wear a suit to work 4 days a week. This was really helpful.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
