So I was thinking of making a WLS Clothing Exchange. I know I was told not to buy any new cloths because I will be losing weight, and I personally would only donate the old ones. So why not pass them to a WLS buddy ;) So what do you guys think about that ???

Go to "Forums" tab, top left. Go to "General Discussion" (or something very close to that) and scroll down the drop-down list to "Clothing Exchange." Some people exchange and sell their no-longer-wanted things. I don't get it, as I wouldn't be willing to pack and send off things, etc. To each her own.

While scrolling the "Clothing Exchange" forum, you'll see a couple of posts about the free, semi-annual exchanges I organize in midtown. The next will be in March or April and will be posted. If you're in the city during the week, you'd certainly be welcomed to take part. Then, again, you might be in the southern part of Joizey. (That last part is really for RAymia, but applies to any of you in the NYC vicinity.)

As to not buying clothes, nonsense. You don't have to buy a complete wardrobe every couple of months, but certainly treat yourself like a worthy person if you see something you really like or if you need something.

Last but not least, absolutely donate your usable clothes if no other opportunities are available to you. Casual things are great for homeless services groups, business clothes are great for organizations similar to Bottomless Closet. Plenty of other non-profits are out there.

Thanks for the information I wouldn't want to sale my cloths and I work for the State so of course I'll by some new items. But the exchange just sound like a nice thing to do and I don't need anything in exchange... But I'll check the site out.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
