NSV TIME!!

Holy crap. I went into Walmart to get some new jeans (IMHO, better than any expensive jeans I have purchased). I started at a 26 and have been wearing some 24s as well. Walking around Chicago this weekend, it was apparent that I had to break down and buy some clothes. I bought a few things last week, but not jeans. Mostly comfy stuff, workout clothes, summery casual stuff.

Anyway, for sh-ts and giggles, I picked up a pair of 20s along with the 22s.

THEY FIT!!!!

I am beside myself... the teens are on their way, baby!!

I bought a pair of denim capri's 2 sizes smaller than I have been wearing and I decided to finally wear them when I walked down the stairs my 26 year old son was walking into the front door. He hadn't seen me in a week and he looks up at me and says Mom you look so skinny and gave me the biggest hug. I was grinning from ear to ear.

I luv all of these because I'm right there with you gals!!

My collar bones are showing, I can cross BOTH my legs!! My hip bones are here after all...and I'm sleeping on my back more, not waking up to a head and neck that have fallen asleep!!

But not to drudge....I am having problems with my knees being together at night, and my body aches more because of the more pronounced bones...heck, blessings to me!!

OK, had to post a progress pic of sorts.

They are all lined up along the same edge on the left so you can see the difference on the right.

26 to a 20 in just over -50lbs and 2 months.

Today is three months since I started tracking my weight. I was 304 then and only a few pounds lighter at surgery a week later.

Today, I am down 60 lbs.... AND INTO 18s!!!!!

I didn't have to struggle or suck it in.... I slipped into a pair of 18 capris a girl at work gave me... like it was the most natural thing in the world.

TEENS!

I haven't worn teens since I was a teen!

I am giddy!!!

When I had my surgery I was going into a size 26 clothes-went to a wedding last night and had to buy new clothes: size 18/20. And was able to wear heels all night!

      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!
