If it wasn't for the fact that I "poof" out at my stomach when I sit I would be quite comfortable with a 2xl shirt. I've lost 18 3/4" between my chest, stomach, waist, biceps, thighs and calfs. In my chest, stomach and waist I've lost 14 1/2"!

I'm back at work today and it sucks because after yesterday's experience getting into my work clothes is such a bummer! I'm wearing a 4x shirt and 40x27 pants. If I had real legs I'd be pushing 6' tall!

It appears that I spoke too soon! This is my 2xl work shirt and 36" pants. I'm also in the last notch of my belt. The blurs are because my company doesn't want anything on social media of any kind.

I dug up some old pictures. The first one I was 13 and in scouts. That damn pack weighed just over 100 pounds, I weighed 225.

The second one was probably the best shape that I was ever in, I was 19-20 at that point. I'm on the right up against the Toyota. My best friend Casey is sitting on the Dodge.

Absolutely brilliant - new jeans are looking good.

I've never worked out why guys seem to lose their backside ahead of almost everything else but that's the way it looks ;)

I never had a butt to begin with so I was quite surprised to lose there. Now I have a boney butt and with the rest of my gravity pushing down on what is left of my butt, it hurts!

A bony backside has to be the worst part of the whole weight loss thing I can sympathise with you on that one crunches at the gym kill my poor unpadded posterior ????

I fell hard two weeks ago while out with my granddaughter in the garden. Hard impact between my now very boney ass and the ground. Ouch!

And today, I was walking and realised that my sweats were literally falling down. Couldn't believe it.

Well done for getting some new jeans!

I just keep wearing too big clothes then realising that I really am that small.

Mind blowing! Congratulations!!!

@, I think you are doing great! Keep up the good work. Work clothes, especially uniforms, tend to run really small for my husband. Your street clothes are going to be a better NSV for you.

Also, I want to say that I always enjoy your posts. You have a great sense of humor and positive attitude. I know you are going to do great!

@

After laughing hysterically for some time at your "Sausage kicked my ass..." comment (I've had a hard day, lol), I strolled on over to check out your profile to find discussions about roid rage, dropping your pants and being butt-less.

Seems you are the butt of quite a few jokes.

Thank you for brightening my day and many congrats on the new jeans and work attire. Awesome job. :D :rolleyes:

Ps. I hope that witch hazel did the job coz roids are a pain in the... (been there, had surgery, worse than childbirth, lol)

      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!
