I have had this box of clothes in the bottom of my closet since before surgery (June 21 2010) I couldnt even get the pants in this box over my hips then.... Well since I hit 199 this week I said what the hey lets try these clothes on.... and THEY FIT!!!! not to mention some of them are toooooooooo big!!!!! Guess I should have tried them on earlier!!!!!!!!!! Now I have a nice "new" outfit to wear to work tomorrow that actually fits instead of having my clothes fall off of me!!!! I love this band!!!

Congratulations! I did that in my closet until the old clothes got too big ... then I went SHOPPING! I now love to shop! This weekend I bought a pair of yoga pants, they are suppose to be "fitted". I got them at Target, so I thought, hmmmm I think I'd better get an XL to be sure hey fit, and are long enough. Well, wouldn't you know it ... they are NOT fitted at all!! At least not on me! YAY! They are still wearable but just loose. So, next time I'll get a L.

I whine regularly that I am not happy with the numbers on my scale. But every time I buy new clothes it's a smaller size. I need to stop complaining and just keep exercising!:lol:

Again, congratulations ... but look out, it won't be long before that batch of clothes will be too big!

I can attest to the "bank account" thing! But it's a great feeling so enjoy it. I would rather buy new clothes than food these days. Never thought I'd say that!:lol:

      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.

        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!
