clothing exchange
my cousins daughter gave me a box of clothes...OOH MY GOSH some really cute things in there for the younger gals...heck if they fit me what am i talking about i would wear them....she looks to be a minus something but i saw meds and small in there and they looked small...even to small for my 11 year old granddaughter..LOL...and a cute bathing suit too
I am hoping there are some larger women...I have 4 very super large trash bags full of 4X and 3X....some even larger.....a very nice leather coat....etc.......
I am almost into 2 X....from a 6X +........down 137 lbs but feeling so good.......been doing yard work that I have missed out doing for so long....
I also am bringing nice shoes...since my feel are getting lots smaller...funny how that is??????
I can not wait to see all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to see ya Miss Peggy!!! I have missed ya so much And as for the clothing exchange....I am going to FINALLY part with my size 14's...and maybe some of my 12's that are too big. BUT it's hard to give up my "fat" clothes....maybe I will hang onto a pair of loose pants or 2 for those days when I'm feeling BLOATED...
Funny....my 'fat' clothes used to be nice stretchy size 5X sweat pants and super dooper down to my knees t-shirts It is too weird to have size 12's as my new 'fat' size for my feeling larger days....almost 21 months since surgery....and it has taken every single month to get from 296 to 147.
SO......to those of you who are a year out.....DON'T be dissappointed-IT DOES KEEP COMING OFF.....just some positive thoughts going out to all my WLS family. So keep up your eating program....don't eat fried foods or sweets....don't graze....and get out in the yard and enjoy the warm weather!!!!
Hugs everyone!!!!!!!!
I wish I could wear a large or med. But I am working my way down. I was in a 28 pants and now in 22 so I am glad of that. I can't wait to meet all of you. I will be there and I have some clothes but not very many to bring with me. Most of my stuff was old sweat pants and thing like that. I have a few nice pairs of pants and a few other things to bring but not much this time around. See you all on the 22.

I just found this site tonight. I went last week for my consult in Indy and Im looking forward to having my surgery next month. Im in a 28 now and I have been looking for clothes online to buy inexpensively for work as Im on my way down in size. I was wondering who is invited to your clothing exchange and when is it?
Also, if anyone has any other suggestions of things I'll be needing for this journey I would love hearing from you. Im so excited to embark on this new stage of my life.
Im so glad u all have had such great success. I can tell by your posts that you all seem to be doing really well.
