So I've lost 13 lbs..decided to try on some older jeans in size 28. To my surprise they actually buttoned and zipped...still snug..but I could get them on! So I must have shrank some because I normally couldnt get them fastened and I wear a 30/32 jeans!!

Congratulations on the smaller size! I'm thrilled too because last week I bought a size 18 dress! I started out in a size 24 and had a few size 26's. It so much fun for the sizes to go down for a change isn't it? :rolleyes2:

Congrats! its so much fun to have that happen! If you haven't done so, consider taking a photo of yourself in those jeans- hang on to them and keep taking photos as you lose weight- what an inspiration.

woooo!

Froggi, do you shop at Catherine's? They have those jeans in the "new" sizes, from 5-12 I think. But there are different types to fit different body styles. I love them! Wonder if we've ever been shopping at the same time?? LOL

Keep the bigger pair. I kept one outfit of my biggest size. I put them on the other day and couldn't believe the difference. Congrats!!

I second taking pictures of yourself as you lose weight. It is hard for some people to see the weight loss when they look in the mirror but a picture never lies. And yay with the jeans!!

Im am keeping my former favorite pair of jeans a sz24. I couldnt fit into them a year ago and now they are pretty baggy. I want to have that reminder of where I was and where I will be. I say keep the big pair.

Pics are a great thing, until I took some pics I really couldnt see my weightloss at all.

      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!
