I a m appreciating my 10-12 for years now. I understand I could obsess and fight it down to an 8 , but that is not my life now. I spent too many years not liking where I was and fighting myself .

I'm done with that mentality now . I enjoy this size. It feels right and normal to me. I have stayed here for years. I'm thinking this is where my body wants to be, and I'm agreeing with it.

No more internal struggle... Spent a lot of my life in that endless endeavor .

This is me

Coming from 336 lbs. and a size 28 dress/32 pants - the biggest end of most plus size shops, I'll just be glad to be back in the misses department and not have to shop in the women's department anymore. I'm not quite 3 months out from surgery and can't see the end of the road yet. Hell, I can't see around the bend yet.

If I'm being honest, I don't care about the numbers. I just want to be healthy and look good naked. Lol

I try not to look at the size but how it fits. I have iTunes with dresses anyway. Because I'm still voluptuous it is hard for me to buy a dress. When the top fits, the bottom is too big and when the bottom fits the top is too small.

I'm with Andrea.... I love how I look naked now

I think I'd be thrilled in a 6 and happy in an 8. Dresses can be a challenge because of my breast size though, so I'll probably have to settle at a 10.

      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!
