Cute clothing exchange!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I just had the idea that we could post here about clothes we had grown too small for that we would be willing to send to people who are at a different stage in their journey. I have a bandster blog and have been sending and receiving clothes through that, but there are some things that no one from that community wants/needs, and I'm sure you all have stuff too.

I just recently sent a whole bunch out, but I wanna do another closet sweep cause I am pretty sure I have more to get rid of!

I'm currently wearing a size 14 on the bottom and L to XL on top...

I have some bras that are too big too... would that be weird to send to someone? haha.

Lemme know your thoughts ladies!

I have a TON of clothes - including some expensive work attire in the 20/22 range. I also have some larger tops and dresses. Most of it is really nice. I'd be more than happy to send it to someone who would like it. I'm thinking of taking photos of everything I have and then putting it on a blog.

Please message me if you're interested!

I think this is a great idea! Since I'm only 2 weeks post-op, i'm still in the 4-5x range and don't think anyone needs my clothes, so I'm sending them to a friend of mine who's considering surgery...but will definitely check back as I lose to see if anyone would like to swap.

you know what you could do as well? you could take them to the weight loss center that you went to, to talk to your surgeon for your first vist. and swap cloths there! there are allot of big and small people who walk thru those doors to have their first visit or to get a fill or just a check up. at the place I'm going to here in Tucson AZ they have a get together each month and swap out cloths! anyway just a thought!

Laurr925,

I'm in need of clothes (professional/casual wear) in sizes 20/22. I'd be happy to send money for shipping if you still have the clothes.

Additionally, I have sizes 26, some 24's up for grabs, plus some nice 3x tops- if anyone is in need of those. I'm short, so most of my pants are petite. (I'm 5'3).

Nazzy,

unfortunately I have only larger sizes (24/26 for now), but have you tried Ross or Marshalls? They often sell some nice brands, but for LOW prices. . .

I've bought several tops at Ross, and a few at Marshalls. Ross tends to have lower prices than Marshalls. Most tops are between 7 and 12 dollars.

I also went to Kohls today and they had a LOT on clearance. The problem is finding pants. Of course the ones I liked weren't on sale, but you never know!

Hi Nazzy, I might still have a few things in 18/20. I am 5'2 though, so any pants would be petite in length. Where are you located so I'll know what season you'd need?

Heyy sorry for the late response - started grad school and life got crazy!

bevanfranks - I gave away a lot of the clothes I had to a woman I met at my doctors office.. So sorry! She was just at the beginning of her journey (banded a few weeks ago) and happened to be a size bigger than everything I had, so I gave her most of it...

Uhh I wish I could help out but even when I did have clothes before they where kinda bleh if you know what I mean - Now that I'm on the way to skinny and beyond (hopefully) I'm definitely in need of nicer clothes though lol

I'm not banded yet, but I will be within a month, and I found a great website, I can't use it yet because they only go up to 2x, but I will be using it!

Personally I love the pin up girl look and the retro look, and I found www.pinupgirlclothing.com it has EVERYTHING! So if you're into that check it out. They do have "club wear" which is the sexy stuff, but I don't know what sizes they come in, and some are pretty hoochie looking, but that's a matter of personal preference.

      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.
