I wanted to buy a new pair of jeans for my birthday- maybe a nice, stylish pair. Hard to find jeans that fit. Most major retailers think I don't exist. Grateful for good old plain Walmart. Their jeans are as basic as they get, but they fit- I hate buying cloths because there are always very limited selections. My friends think

I have no sense for fashion- I do but I am very limited.

Well, yesterday was my last fat birthday 55-by my 56 birthday, I will be able to shop at Macy's, Kohl's-wherever I want, God willing. My surgery looks to be Jan 6. Maybe next year I will buy a pair of skinny jeans????. Prayers and peace to all.

Well I wish you all the luck with your surgery and your next birthday. I am anxiously waiting to see the surgeon and get my surgery date so I can start my journey, too..

I'm with you, gwunderle! My 59th birthday is near the end of December and I'm hoping to have surgery that month also. I've already told my husband that I'm planning on being close to goal if not at goal by the time I turn 60!

I wish you all the luck in the world to obtain your wish for your next birthday.

I made it to goal for my birthday this year and am very happy because I can shop almost any where I want.

To be honest I kinda went overboard on buying clothes for myself but hey I figure I have no intentions of changing my size so I look at it as an investment. LOL

Once again the very best to you with your upcoming surgery and here's to a healthier and happier you..

      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!
