On Baritastic, you measure your waist, both thighs, both upper arms, hips, chest and neck. The lost inches is combined for all of those on the app. Not sure how others work. But A-ok with me! Nice to see 22 inches lost when I'm five weeks post op today and have only lost 16 pounds.

After my Consultation in January, I ordered these measuring shorts that sync with an app on my phone. They are called, “Like A Glove”. Think spandex workout shorts that send measurements through Bluetooth.. They use the measurements to chart inches lost in high and low waist/hips. From 2” below belly button to just at upper thigh. They also use the measurements to tell you what size jeans are most likely to fit you in which brand. (It gives me an idea where to start...)
I never measured my natural waist in the beginning, I’m curious to see what my surgeon has, but it’s 25” now. According to my magic shorts, I’ve lost 10” inches off my waist for mid-rise jeans and 8” off the widest part of my hips (which makes sense considering that’s where all my extra skin is).
All I really care about is that I’m getting leaner and feel wonderful in clothes! At 54 years old, I could easily fit into the cute little clothes I wore in junior high. The numbers don’t mean all that much to me.

That's awesome!!! What's the name of the app that's connected to the magic shorts?

      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!
