Had to Buy New Jeans :)



Recommended Posts

Finally, a difference in more than just the scale.< /p>

My 18W's got too big but I could fit into regular 18's which are now too big also, so I had to go buy a size 16 jeans :) Yippee. Still not a size to be proud of, but now I don't have to shop in the fat lady section anymore :)

You may consider supporting your local Goodwill, etc. by purchasing clothing there until the time u r at your goal size/weight. You'll be surprised how much $$ u can save & with quality. No one has to know but you.ohmy.gif

Congrats. It's a great feeling isn't it?

I am in need of some new pants, but I guess I will wait until later in the year since it is almost short weather.

Congratulations! I know I've been greatly enjoying buying smaller sized jeans. I saw the comment about Goodwill and I totally agree. I am such a thrift store junkie now, that I can't imagine paying retail for all my clothes, even after I lose all my weight. Why would you want to, when you can get practically new (and sometimes with tags still on) clothes for way less than 1/2 price. Definitely try out the thrift stores.

Well, I AM proud of my size 16 jeans. Coming from a 34/36 or 6X and not being able to find jeans at all... I don't mind wearing 16's in the least. :) I am heading towards smaller ones though.

I say walk tall and be proud of any weight loss accomplishment. :)

I bought new jeans last week...Size 18! I have been wearing my old size 26's for so long just trying to hold them up with belts and stuff, but it was time to send them packing (to the goodwill).

Congrats on the new size, it is so exciting!

Just remember, don't hang on to those old BIG sizes. Give them away, throw them away, sell them...whatever you do, don't keep them. Don't give yourself an excuse to gain a pound!!!!! ;)

Aw, congrats!

By far, the best feeling ever - when your jeans are too big, falling off and you need to get a size smaller...often!

Congrats to all! :D

It is very exciting fitting into the next size down...no matter what size that may be. I also did some shopping this past weekend. I finally cleared out my closet and gave 3 bags of clothes to goodwill. I'm down 2 sizes so far and i feel great...hubby keeps giving me compliments...wahoo!!!:D :D

      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!
