POSITIVELY GIDDY!!!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so last November my job required me to train to a new specialty (I'm a nurse) so in order to work in labor & delivery I have to wear hospital scrubs. When I wear my own scrubs, I was a 3X pants and a 3-4X shirt (my hips are my widest part and these shirts were always too tight at the hips). I was scared beyond belief imagining the hospital scrubs would not fit. I even took some home beforehand to make sure I'd be ok. The biggest pants/shirts they have are a 3X and I could just barely squeeze my butt into them. I even ripped the inside seam of a pair of pants once when I sat down. How embarassing! The 3X shirts I could get on but they were so tight my gut just stuck out in all it's rolls & glory. I always wore a scrub jacket to try to hide that (2X but really roomy). So since I've started losing the 3X's have gotten much more comfortable...shirts fit better at the hips and pants are now getting too saggy and I can even go without the jacket & be comfortable. So I brought a 2X pants home with me to try on down the road...just tried them and they FIT!!!!! With my wide hips I imagine I'll still wear the 3X tops for another 15-20 pounds? Butman oh man, am I ever giddy right now. :)

Excellent! I wear scrubs too and I know how they can fit. My hips are also my widest part, so it seems to take longer to change sizes due to that. And the top are if the tops have sometimes to much room but a smaller size won't fit over my hips

      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.

      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!
