I have a beautiful red dress that I just love I would like to be in it by April of next year. Of course I am still waiting for approval but I am hoping I can still have surgery this year.

After surgery I went out and bought a expensive top and that was my inspiration to get into it by the end of summer and I did !!! Keep that dress out where you can see it every day. Its nice to have something to look forward to... it keeps you on track :)

I am a pack rat and have been lugging the same collection of different sized jeans for years! Pre-surgery I sorted ALL my clothes by size and put them in those bags you suck the air out of. It is always fun to get rid of the big clothes and back into clothes I haven't worn in over 10 years. I shopped off the rack at the limited this weekend!!!

Thanks bb doodle I am keeping it very close I wis everyone on this journey the very best of luck. The one thing I like about this site is the understanding we are all in this together. It is hard to talk with people who r thin or never had a weight problem they truly do not understand,

Does this mean I should keep the size 7 pants hanging up

& not folded in the draw? I'm a size 11 now but need 14 pounds to goal so diesnt look like I'm going to fit in size 7 :(

Yes! Even if I hit a weight loss plateau...toning changes how my clothes fit. Different brands size differently.

      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!
