Someone gave me smaller clothes

My daughter just got home from spending time with her boyfriend's family and brought home a bag of clothes for me. My daughter's boyfriend's mom had gastric bypass in June 07 and sent home size 14's that she used to wear. She's very excited that I'm heading towards being banded as she tried to get me to have GB with her. It was very sweet of her but it's going to be awhile before I can wear them as I'm currently a 28/30.

good luck on your band date.

It won't be long! I went from busting out of 26/28 to currently wearing size 15 comfortably. And I started wearing 15's last month and that's only 10 months out!

Take all the hand me downs you can, it gets expensive!

Lucky you, LongTBfree, I'm looking for smaller clothes, too (about ready to get into 16/18). Even signed on to my Bariatric Center's website where they have a clothing exchange. Still nothing. Hang on to them that size will be here before you know it!!!!!!!!!!

I started out in a sixe 32 and am now wearing a 14.

My thoughts on free clothes is, pick out the ones you like and save them for when you can fian;;y fit into them

I know I have spent so many $$$$ on clothes going down from a size 32. I would wear them until they were falling off of me. I was always on a look out for SALES to buy clothes. I hated buying big buck for something I would just wear a few months.
