I had a lot of nice clothes so some went to my BFF who is that size and I sold some on eBay. When I'm stable for a few years I'll probably donate the rest. There's so much!

That's funny! Thankfully, my neighborhood is lacking in porch pirates.

But, I've been selling my clothes on mercari, I've made about $300 so far!

Ha! I wasn't thinking about the porch pirates!! I should put my grungiest sweatpants and hope someone steals them!

lol that’s funny.

I find trying to sell clothes too hard. I have given some away to friends, donated some to op shops and swapped some at clothes swaps. Some I may alter or repurpose if I ever get around to it

lol.

I've donated all of mine to the domestic violence women's shelter. I have a few more bags and I am donating them to women in substance abuse recovery.

Oh, that's hilarious! Seriously, though, I donated mine to St. Vincent de Paul. That's where I bought all of my transition clothes too.

Donated mine to local non profit thrift store. All proceeds go to local men’s and women’s recovery centers as well as to the homeless in my community.

I had tons and tons to donate and still have a closet full! Sadly now I have very little that fits me. I plan to wait as long as I am able to before buying more.

I donated mine to the Salvation Army, was glad to get rid of them... Big clothes take up a lot of space....

Just took six boxes of clothes to a neighbor who has a son who can use them. I'm 30 days prior to surgery and I've lost 16 pounds and one, almost two, pants sizes.

Good will for sure. Gave some to my moms friend. My poor closet looks bare. Husbands clothes are all packed together. I have a few garments hanging up. Looks like I left my husband in a hurry and only left the clothes I didnt want. Lol.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
