My name is Sarah. Im 40 and sense third grade have had a shirt full of chest. When I was in 5th grade I stood 5'8" and weighed 180. Now I am facing all new first times again. I am nervously excited about my weight loss. I dont ever remember what skinny looks like on me. I am currently a 44dd and wear 2-3xl in exercise pants, shirts and sjorts. If it doesnt have an elastic waiste I wont get it. I dont shop at Wal-Mart for clothes(except undies) because ai can never find anything that fits. Surgery isnt till October. But I cant wait till I can start getting into small clothes. So because $ is tight I am going to go to the second hand stores till I reach my goal weight. I think 180-160 sjould be ok. I dont want to look likr a walking skelaton. Wish me luck. And I just wanted to add.. I love this site. SOO helpful.

I wish you the best of luck, Sarah! I had WLS on May 15th and have lost 55 lbs. I have no idea what "skinny" is, but I can't wait to find out.

      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.

      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!
