We used to have a Cotton Ginny but they closed. I now have to go to Ottawa if I want to shop there so when I'm there I usually buy a lot. Something about the comfort of cotton....

I was never "allowed" to have sweat pants, or really any elastic waisted pants, because my mom said that I'd get too comfortable in them, and gain weight without noticing. :)

I finally bought my first pair of sweat pants when I was about 20. HA!

Your mother has a point. I like to wear baggy clothes especially in the summer. My weight kept creeping up on me and then when I would try to put my jeans on...well, I couldn't.

Yah, tight pants wouldn't have stopped me from gaining weight but they would have made me hot and cranky!

Mandi, your mother sounds a little controlling...no cheeze, no sweat pants.....

Yea, but they probably had to take EXTRA precautions with a daughter like Mandi!!

Yes... I imagine all hell would have broken loose if I'd been allowed cheese AND sweatpants! Not that we weren't allowed cheese, we just never had/bought blocks of it. ?

Hell, I didn't even LIKE cheese until I was in my early 30s!!! I couldn't even stand the smell of it!! The only "cheese" I ate before that was cheez whiz and cheese slices (you know, like Kraft slices). Needless to say, I didn't eat pizza until my 30s (cheese and all). I would periodically try cheese now and again...wishing I'd like it....but didn't. Then my tastes changed and now I do like cheese (though not strong cheese)!! Go figure.

I know many people who would tend to agree with you!!!

But I'm okay with that.

Today I put on a pair of old jeans, size 16W, from Cotton Ginny and I didn't even have to lie down to force the zipper up! And I don't feel like all blood flow is being cut off to the lower part of my body!! Yippee! I'm thinner than I was last Christmas and way thinner than I was before the operation. Green is in a good mood today.

      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!
