I just don't have money to shop. I'm still with my big girl clothing. I bought a few things a few months ago. I'm not shopping till I'm 125 pounds.

Mostly all my pants/shorts/capris are way too big. I've given a lot away. Clearance racks and layaway are my best friends right now. Lol

Great idea but by the time I finish paying for it the size will be smaller LMFAO. I have the pants that are like gym style. Jogging pants I think it's called. They are my best friend.

Exactly. I buy sizes before i can actually wear it. Right now, I can wear clothes from an xl to an 18, depends on how it's made.

We have great resale shops here. You take the big clothes in to sell and trade for the smaller ones. Nice clothes for a fraction of the cost

All my clothes are too big. Had to buy some 16s this weekend. One pair was from the 'missy' section of Marshall's not the woman's. Felt great!!

Marshall's has all sizes. But of course the larger sizes don't have much of a variety. Smaller sizes the have a ton of varieties.

My plan is to shop at thrift stores until I reach my goal weight or my weight stabilizes. This way I won't have to pay full price on clothes.

What a great idea! Think I'll do the same. I still have some size 16's, but just a few. Mostly 1X & 2X. At one of the support grps I went to, a gal brought the clothes she had grown out of for anyone who wanted them - thought that was nice. Surgery date 9/5/12

Leggings are my BFFs right now. And today (drumroll please) I went into Fashion to Figure (a plus size store) and none of their smallest shirt fit right. I was only able to buy a pair of jeans from there. So I went into Forever21 (hated this store for a while, could never find anything that fit me) and viola! I was able to buy 6 shirt size L. From 2x (sometimes 3x) to a Large!!!!! Woo freaking Hoo!

      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!
