Anyone grown out of their size 16-18 clothes??



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am hoping to offer and find homes for clothes that no longer fit. I have already sold on Craigslist a HUGE amount of clothes that don't fit (size 20-22) and now I am exiting the land of Lane Bryant all together (WOO HOO).

I am looking for any spring/summer clothes in size 16-18 that are collecting dust in a closet. I will be happy to pay any shipping fee and be happy with whatever comes my way. I'm just finding that I'm going from size to size so quickly that NOTHING fits! It is a huge success to say that, but is also very frustrating trying to get dressed every morning.

I also have many clothes I've grown out of if someone is interested in them; just let me know.

Maybe somebody could start a "Lap Band Hand-Me-Down" website to help everybody out..wouldn't that be great!

:blink:

I thought after losing weight, shopping would be fun. It sucks. Everything is so expensive, you hate to buy anything that will only last a month or two.

I also find that when your fat, the choices are limited so it's easier to just grab cloths. Now it takes forever because there are too many choices.

Also, why are they making skinny clothes in the ugly fat clothes patterns?

I agree! I like going to try on new sizes but I never really like the styles. It was so much easier shopping in the plus size sections because there wasnt many choices. Even though I LOVE my new size it does get a little frustrating. I used to have 65-75 pairs of pants and jeans in my closet to wear now I am down to about 10. This makes it VERY hard to find something to wear to work in the morning!! Now I am late almost everyday and picking them out at night doesn't help either.

oh well....that's just my 2 cents....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
