You walk into a room and all eyes turn to you .... no longer invisible, nor "Lisa has gained so much weight"

You feel comfortable in your own skin again and your self-confidence has come back full force and shows.

Winter is back and I must say I haven't felt this cold in years! This might be the only downside from weightloss but damn I am freezing all the time.

When you do the math and realize that you've lost over a foot from your waistline. When the first digit on the waist went from a 4 to a 3, it was life-changing (Started as a 52, now a 38).

Funny that stores now seem to have a boatload of jeans and pants in my Old sizes (44 x 30 seems to be popular at WalMart)

When your slip falls to your feet, your underwear falls as you walk, many comments calling you "skinny", having elation when you buy a medium- it fits ok but a small would've fit even better!!????

When you no longer need 3 pillows to support your chunky head. 2 pillows now for me!

When your collar bones come out of hiding

I loved this one! It just made me feel more pretty and feminine.

I WISH! I have always loved collar bones that show, but mine never do -- no, not even when I'm super thin, they don't stick out at all. I broke both of them when I was a kid, so maybe they just didn't grow the same after that. *pouts* But I love semi-fitted t-shirt tops with 3/4 sleeves and biiiiiig scoop necks -- and collar bones would look so fab with them. *pouts again*
You could try using makeup along your collar bones to accentuate them. Just a little dusting of highlighter powder or cream blended in very very lightly is all it takes. The light will hit the highlighter and they're easier to notice. I love doing that in the summer, but if they're showing in your outfit, it'd be just as fine in other seasons. Send me a message if you'd like some more info to decide whether you want to try it. I can send a tutorial and a couple brand suggestions.

When I get into the tub and my body is actually under Water and my stomach is not sticking out!

As an avid bubble bather, this is something I really relate to. Can't wait to hit this one! Not there yet, but it's coming! Congrats!!

      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!
