this is a great thread, i hate always thinking about the scale. i bought 2 pairs of 20s while i was a 26. i hope to be in them this month, im in a 22 now and they are getting a bit baggy. i can put the 20s on but can't button/zip. im looking forward to getting in them.

I do the same thing - up until this point I always had a "smaller" size to work to get into - I'm now in my 12's (started in a 22/24) and just the other day bought a pair of 10's that i can get on but would never wear out in public - they are my new goal - I have to say the look so little :rolleyes2: :thumbup: :lol: After that I'll move on to an 8 for my goal .. :bored:

I know what you are saying about them looking small, I was in a 24 and now I'm in a 10 and when I do laundry I pull them out of the wash and have to take a double take to make sure they are mine and I always think to myself wow they're little. Maybe to someone else they would look big but I think they just look so small.

I just finally got into the 10s today...I have tried them on way too many times and they just gave me a huge muffin top...I have a fat waist, the hips are never an issue. Anyway I was feeling pretty good today and thought I'd disappoint myself one more time by trying them on and...WOW they fit!

I dont believe I could just go shopping and randomly buy size 10s though. These are a 10 short Levis and I have to wonder if they run big...whatever, I'm happy!

If anyone out there hasnt seen Lellow's pix with the jeans each laid on top of the other...go to her page and look. I did one of my own for my home screensaver!!

I have the same issue with the wide waist so I buy Lowrise and midrise, the midrise fit best and the don't button right on the waist so no muffin top. Next time your in the store just try a pair on and see what you think. I have to wear a belt for the first time in my life, it's really weird.

Clothes are a huge motivator for me, too--but I can't buy in advance, because I'm never quite sure what areas are going to shrink next!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
