Bye Bye Big Clothes



Recommended Posts

I threw some of my big pants out today. Well all my pants. They are gone. I'm sooosooo excited. I didn't think this day would come. I'm so happy. I still have a long journey ahead. I was scared to throw them out.....I used to have to hide them in the back corner of closet for when I gained weight back.....no more. I feel good!! I was a very tight 18 and I bought 16. That's hard to admit to

Wow good for you! I think I'm going to wear mine until I can afford to buy some. Right now I'm thinking about saving for Christmas. I have a child with autism so I want to buy him an iPad. :) I have a sewing machine so I might just sew them on the sides. Lol

Think about trading clothes on this site. I sent mine to a friend on this site and she sent hers to another friend. No one wants to spend too much when we will be going through so many various sizes.

i totally understand feeling weird about getting rid of fat clothes. I never got rid of anything when I was growing out of them, hence I'm still shopping in my closet for smaller clothes. I realized I have some things that are 10-15 years old. However all my too big clothes are going away quickly, don't want to keep them around to grow back into someday.

I highly recommend Goodwill for clothes during the weight loss. I have found some great things, some even new with tags still on them. You have to pick through a bunch of stuff, but you can get lucky with some great deals. Nothing more than $4 a piece, sometimes cheaper. I will just donate them back when they're too big.

      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!
