Anyone Love Shopping Now?



Recommended Posts

I remember hating to go shopping. Nothing ever fit right and just cause i was a big girl didnt mean i was old. i hated the lights in the dressing room cuz i would sweat so bad. I could never find anything and i would go home depressed. well it is so nice to just pick up something and not to have to even try it on, cuz i know it will fit. i love that i can find stuff so much cheaper too. Now my only problem is keeping my teenage daughters out of my closet. i actually luv shopping now my pocket book may not agree but it is so worth it!

Heck, yeah! It's so much fun to walk into ANY shop and find stuff I can wear and enjoy wearing! Re the impact on the pocketbook (purse), I have had plenty of great bargains in opportunity (thrift/goodwill) shops. It's mostly a matter of luck/timing to be there when some good stuff is available but I have gotten heaps of new clothes, still with tags on, at opp shop prices! Now it is just my wardrobe that is suffering from the weight of all my new clothes.

Just realised that I used to have minimal quantity of clothes - would wear the same things over and over. Now I want to wear something different every day, just cos I can! :P

I was an online and catalog shopper pre band.... I hated shopping, paying high prices for fat clothes and the overall experience.

Now.... I love finding bargains , finding clothes in consignment stores that fit and standing in my closet looking at a wonderful selection. ;)

Oh yeah ! shopping is waaay more fun now ! Im a diehard 2nd hand store shopper, im at Goodwill once a week and finding great stuff ! My wardrobe is 90% 2nd hand, and im always getting compliments on my cute stuff ! (And cheap too !) Im picky about what i wear, it has to be in excellent shape, no stains or missing items, and it has to fit well too. i love a bargain !

      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!
