Shmily,

You have done an amazing job. How does it feel? I know you had to buy all new clothes. My first time shopping for a single digit size was out of this world. Last time I did was in junior high. I look at the size 6 and say no, that's way to small. But it's actually a little big, and size 4 are a little small. I feel so much healthier. How are you feeling now? Great news, congratulations!

That's awesome! When I tried NutriSystem years ago (among the many epic diet fails), they had something similar- a chain where you attached a pretty bead for every pound you lost. You then had a beautiful necklace to wear that got prettier with each pound closer to your goal you got. I should do something like that on my own, come to think of it :)

I am not in single digit and probably never will be, but I am not in plus size. A large will fit good and sz 12 jeans. I feel awesome...and pain free. Yes I bought some new clothes but just enough to get me through the season, some at thrift shops and Christmas sales, until I get to where I finally settle wt wise...

Shmily,

Before this surgery I was a size 26/28 depending on how sizes ran. Forget trying jeans on, just bought them with elastic waist from Kmart. As my weight came off I got my smaller sizes at savers. It's a center that sells used clothing that was donated for charity. I'm still buying there as they have some really nice things for cheap. Being in a smaller size both excites me and scares me. What if I gain it back? Always in the back of my mind. Anyway, I'm very excited for your progress.

      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!
