I'm proud to announce that I am wearing the same pair of jeans that I wore when I met my husband 7 years ago. I haven't worn them in at least 6 years. They are a size 20, which is still huge, but considering I was in a snug 26, it feels fabulous. The NSV's are so much more rewarding than that number on the scales.

My next goal is to get in a size that I don't have stuffed away in a drawer or closet somewhere. Because that means I get to go shopping!!!

Not sure what my goal size will be. At 5'4" and a goal weight of 150, I would hope to be in a 8 or 10. I won't know how to act to go hunting sizes like that at the store and actually be able to find them. I'm super excited!!!!!

Isn't it awesome?!? I've been wearing my old 14's that I haven't worn in 10 yrs! I never got rid of them cause I swore I would fit into them again one day. I will be ecstatic when I go down to a 12 and even smaller! Way to go!! It will only get better!

Congratulations !!! Just wait until you go shopping for those jeans in size 8 or 10. On my surgery day a was wearing a size 20 jeans and I'm down to a size 12, last week I went to Macy's looking for those size 12 and I got lost in all the selections that they have in the smaller sizes, I think I got a little overwhelm from all the different kind of jeans that I could choose from. I was used to just go shopping to Lane Bryant. One more size down and I'll be at my goal. :) size 10 !!

Not sure what my goal size will be. At 5'4" and a goal weight of 150,

I am 5'3, build solid like a tree trunk.. I am at 180 and can fit comfortably into a size 12-14 now... (down from a 22-24) I am guessing that at my goal of 140 I will be in a size 6-8. Does that help you any?

      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!
