Give your business clothes away



Recommended Posts

I've been cleaning out my closets and basement, and remembered that Oprah mentioned a charity that gives clothes to low-income women who are going on job interviews and starting work. Check out this web site: http://www.dressforsuccess.org/

Dress for Success has branches in a lot of cities; the web site will tell you where. They desperately need large-size clothing. I'm packing up some suits this weekend for donation to the Chicago south-side branch, and will let you know if I find out more info.

Zoe, I'm wearing your pants and blouse, but I only kept 1/2 of what you sent. I'm going to see if there's a Vegas chapter. I looked into it before but couldn't find one, but maybe things have expanded since then.

      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.
