Have any of you made plans on how to.handle the clothing as we shrink?

I have to say, that's a concern for me.

I've found a tailor near me for my better clothing. Beyond that I plan to limit myself to wearing my tent size clothes and possibly hitting up the clearance racks at Walmart occasionally. I've heard of others going to goodwill for the in between clothes, but I'm not sure i can handle other people's clothing.

In goodwill u can also find clothes with their tag still on them so they are new and no one has used them. I like your tailor idea specially for jeans. Target if you have one around put good clearance racks, some even for like a dollar something.

I have sizes from my last failed diet... Currently in size 24 3x-- have clothes to fit me down to size 16 1x... This last regain of my weight I told my husband I'm not giving one thing away! Now I'm going to pack up all my big clothes as they become too big and donate them to charity. I know how it feels to be big and not be able to afford clothes... I'm gonna pay it forward. :) also I'm gonna fill in the gaps in my wardrobe with goodwill and thrift shop clothes until I get to goal. Not buying new clothes I'm only gonna wear for a short time....

The only thing I'm gonna have to buy is new bra's!! That is exciting because I have been buying the "box bras" as I call them for some time because my bra size is 48 or 50 C cup. Not a typo... C -cup. I have one B and one C.. So yea picture that.... Sorry.. Tmi!

      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!
