Sell clothes in Michigan



Recommended Posts

I've given away most of my clothes but I still have some things that I'd like to sell. Things like suits and blouses for a professional job or interviewing. I haven't been able to find a consignment shop that takes larger sizes. Ebay has been suggested on other forums. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks, LynnAnn

Hi, I don't know where you live, but there is a plus size consignment shop in Charlotte. Charlotte is near Lansing. I was banded 3 days ago, and lost 30+lbs. before surgery, But I can "shop" in my own closet for a while as I have clothes that even though they did not fit I could not bear to part with. I definitly would also try to sell your clothing on e-bay, plus sizes do sell well.

Ebay is a good bet. I've sold some jeans and sweaters, and I'm about to list a whole bunch of other items since cleaning out my closet yesterday.

For the life of me, I am drawing a blank, but I remember seeing on the news that there is a charity out there that takes donations of professional clothings for people on welfare looking to join the work force. Can't remember what it is called, but call one of your local newstations and they might be able to tell you. Or maybe there is someone here that has heard of it.

      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.
