In the Thrift Store dressing room. I fit into size 8 dress pants. Not just one pair ... but several. I could not believe it.

The last (and only) time I wore a 8 was a brief moment MANY year ago when I was 17 (when I had just lost 63 pounds). I was a lot smaller then (126 pounds) compared to my ~143 pounds now, but I'm not going to even think about size differences over the years. I am just going to enjoy this.

The point is ... I BOUGHT SIZE 8 PANTS AND THEY FIT ME!!!! Who would have thunk it?

That is FAB! I know I felt great last week when I bought a top 2 sizes smaller than usual, so to fit in size 8 must be mindblowing! WELL DONE!

Congratulations! I know the feeling when you have to try on several pairs just to be sure there wasn't a mistake! The size difference thing is frustrating too. I had to weigh under 120 to wear size 10 years ago. I can wear some 10s now. Of course there were no size zero or 00, back in the day. But fret not 8 is an 8 is an 8 is an 8 today, and that’s where you are now. Hope you shed many more such tears!

      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!
