Now my,public I do have a thought. I want polka dots, don't know if that sounds like something Obese Olive and her cohots would come up with. Even if that harkens to profiing, so be it. Maybe a pastel shade and knee,length or just above. I am tired of yanking my hem down through life. Maybe a 16 or 18? No dang it, it is going to be a 15 Junior, that's what size I want to be. And when,it happens, even if it isn't,until 2019 I SHALL POST IT ON BARIATRIC PAL-You people gave me the bravery to attack this problem!!!😝✊

Ha! I bought myself a juniors size large blouse about 3 months post op. Having started at a Tight 20 I figured there’s no way I would ever shrink too small to wear it.

I now wear a 4. Gave that shirt away long ago!

Go for it, but don’t invest too much!

Here’s my suit. It’s a two piece so I decided to by the top now but wait until next summer to buy a matching bottom. Because who knows what my lower tummy and butt will be like! Lol

I only bought one new dress in a medium- besides that I have a 1/2 closet full of size Large clothes I can’t wait to fit back into. I thought that shopping afterwards (when I’ve lost the weight) might be a “pick me up” I can use to reward myself anyway :)

My husband convinced me to get a few things in one or two sizes smaller than what I was wearing; I started with underwear because no one wants those to be baggy for long! I also got a few shirts. I'm in the large/14 now and will definitely get into the mediums later. I also was cleaning out closets and found a few items I kept from high school that I can now wear. It's surreal that I'm where I was over 25 years ago.

I did on Saturday! There were a couple of very pretty Modcloth dresses that I came across. They're only a size or two smaller than I am now, so I'm being conservative. :D

I bought smaller sized clothing for the summer, size 14. But they fit me now surprisingly. Not because I think have shrunk that much, just because clothing sizes are much different than 10 years ago. Vanity sizing has got me all confused! :angry:

Not like goal clothing, but I'm thinking about hitting up some yard sales before summer ends to grab a few things to get me through fall and winter. Cuz nobody would be happy if i wake up one day and find myself with nothing that fits...lol

I ran across some super cute swimsuits yesterday. They didn’t have any in my current size but since they are on sale I’m considering buying one in a size I think might fit me next summer.



Anyone else bought clothing that you’re hoping will fit as you work towards your goal?
I bought a size 10 lingerie set before I was even finished with my pre-op requirements, lol. It’s the only purchase I’ve made though. I hope to fit it eventually, even if my body tricks me and decides to go smaller than a 10, at least I’ll get to wear it for a few weeks 😂😂

      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!
