When did you start to notice that your clothing was too big? I've lost 32 pounds and put on jeans today for the first time post-op, Sadly, not only did they still fit, they were still a little tight :( I guess I'm not losing weight in my butt yet lol

Weight loss can be (IS) a cruel b*tch...

You'll lose all your weight in the exact opposite order to what you want to...

I wanted to lose off my fat gut...

So of course, I lost what little arse I had...

Then, I wanted to lose of my fat gut...

And I now have dreeeeaaaamy forearms and have actually lost approx. two inches from around EACH WRIST!!!...

After that , I REALLY wanted to lose off my fat gut...

As can be seen in the only photo in my 'gallery', I've lost plenty of my face...

Now that I'm more than ready to lose weight off my fat gut, I can see ever increasing definition of my quads and calves..

I've lost 230+ pounds and am still wearing a lot of the same clothes...

Admittedly, they kinda look funny...

But I'm still the same shape as I was...

I'm just a little smaller..

Stick with it @@Muggles

Your arse will shrink soon...

I promise...

From 237 to about 190 I wore mostly the same clothes. From 190-160, I fit in most of the same clothes. From 160-145 I was in the same sizes. It was only from 145-129 and with plastics that I really dropped significantly in sizes. I started as an 18, I was in 12's at 180, and then I was in 8's, at 145. At 129, I now where mostly 2's and 4's. Also, a pair of jeggings that fit me when I was 170, still sort of fits me now, although now they are baggy and back then they looked like they had been painted on.

Clothing sizes don't tend to move as fast as we'd like them, but the closer you get to goal, it seems the smaller the difference there is between sizes.

I am down 45 pounds from my surgery weight (52 from my high weight) and can still wear a lot of my old clothes. However I've also been able to go out and buy new clothes that are 2 sizes down and fit me perfectly. I would honestly recommend you head to your local thrift shop and pick up a pair of jeans in a smaller size. Even though the old ones fit, I bet the new ones will too. And that will make you feel awesome! (at least it did for me!)

I really like having "goal" clothing too. When you fit into a goal shirt and it looks good on you, it's an amazing feeling! Good luck!

      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.

        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!
