Undergarments and False Advertising


MeganA

Recommended Posts

I've started to get really self concious about my body- more so now than when I was at my heaviest. I get lots of attention from men now, and I can't help but think- "Don't they know I'm still fat?". I feel like my sucker-inner undergarments are false advertising. I had a dream last night that I took my clothes off and all my skin rolled out of my undergarments like a red carpet. Do you think I have some body issues? :-) I'm already thinking about plastic surgery but couldn't afford it unless insurance pays. I'm going to save up my vacation time from work just in case. I never anticipated this when I dreamt of weight loss and how great it would be! Not that I would take it back for millions of dollars. But it's all new to me, this attention from men. I'm just not sure what to do with all of it anymore. Maybe I should stay home and eat some.....WAIT! NO WAY. I guess I have to just keep moving forward and I'll handle what comes my way the best I can.

Thanks for letting me ramble.

Megan, honey, I think all under garments are all about false adversting! (well, maybe not panties, but the rest, yes!)

think about the different styles of corsets women used to be required to squash into. Do you think the waspwaists of the 1800 were not false advertising? How about the bullet bras of the 1950's? Hell, bras in general are false adversting.

      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.

      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!
