Congratulations.:ohmy: That must have felt great. I cannot wait to get in the same position, although I am with adagray. My shopping is easy now with limited choices--I now will have to "shop around" for real.

I've just reached the same point. And, I know this will sound weird, but I'm a little bummed. I really like Lane Bryant. I told a friend this and she told me to try 'The Limited' or 'Express' because they are owned by the same company as Lane Bryant.

It WAS a very weird feeling for me. I felt sad for some reason. Like saying goodbye to MY store and the sales staff. I always felt comfortable there and knew I could find something that fit.

I will always buy my bras there because they are the best(unless my boobs disappear too). But I went to Kohl's on my way home from work today and slid right into a size 12 for the first time in at least (10) years.

Of course we are learning the physical changes that our Band has on our bodies, my next challenge is the mental changes. I still think of myself as overweight - OPEN my eyes to the new me!

Congratulations!!!! I now fit in clothes that only have one X on the size and am pretty pleased about it, though I find I am sort of betwixt and between the womens sizes and the misses. That's okay- the situation will resolve itself as I do what I am supposed to do. :ohmy: I can hardly wait to never set foot in the womens size section of Macys again! No wistful nostalgia happening here.

      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!
