CLOTHING SWAP ANYONE?



Recommended Posts

So as I am progressively losing weight, I notice how much clothing I can't alter regardless of how skilled my sewing is. Some things were just too big and I don't want to toss them into the bins nor do I really want to keep posting lots of this or that size to sell.

SO I thought, if there were people going through this as well, maybe we can set up a clothing exchange for those who really don't have the money to go shopping for every size they drop? I have so much stuff that I would rather see go to someone and then pass it along. Anyone interested? Maybe just pay for shipping and $2 an item this way we all help eachother or something like that. Not trying to gey rich, just hoping to help out.

I am currently a size 16/18, 213 lbs...big butt. I have clothing up to size 26. Shirts, jeans, dresses, slacks and even bras that I have never worn.

If anyone is interested in starting a swap, we can email pics and work out details but let's keep it a blessing to others! Sometimes I just need a pair of jeans for a few weeks to by...

Hope this catches on!

This is an awesome idea. I haven't clothes shopped in over 2 years since getting fired from my last job. I've lost over 70lbs so far from my highest and am living in leggings and baggy tops and hoodies. It's sad but kind of funny. I must be one of the only women without a ton of sizes to shop through in her closet. I had been a size 20 forever and hadn't worn anything smaller since high-school. Thank God i still have leggings that fit. Going to go shopping next week sometime after pay day for basic Ts and sweats. I didn't realize how much i hated shopping when i was bigger. I keep thinking im still the same size until i put the stuff on lol.

      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.
