Clothing expenses after surgery
I have plans..oh yes people..My best friend had surgery back in May and gave me clothes. I touch them every time I walk in closet knowing I will be wearing them soon. I have a friend who owns a Plus size resale shop and will be giving her clothes and when they sell, I will be able to get smaller and so on until I can't wear her clothes anymore. Then I move onto other resale shops in the area. I love to resale shop so this is going to be great for me. I am going to turn over a new leaf much to my sisters dismay....I am going to become the girlie girl that my sister hoped would never happen. Her opinion is the universe cannot take 2 of us...lol...so what I am trying to ramble on about is that shopping is the main thing I am looking forward to on my new journey. My husband is dreading the expense but at the same time knows he is going to meet the new improved me and is in for the ride of his life...LOL

Bummed Out
I can't drink it either...Just upsets my stomach. Tried some Unjury in soup and it nauseated me too but I got it down tonite.

Things I will NOT miss about being fat.
Being able to fit into a booth. Buy clothes without paying an arm and a leg. Shoes that fit. The ability to look at myself in the mirror. A mom and Mimi that my kids and grandkids can be proud of. And my biggest goal, my husband the ability to throw me over his shoulders...LOL

Hiatal Hernia and the sleeve?
Mine was repaired during surgery. It was a little uncomfortable for a day but you won't notice it. Just feels like slight pressure under your breastbone.

october 7th and horrible pain
Mine was the 7th also. Pain meds and gas x. My muscle issue is on the right and it's getting better. Believe it or not, moving around is good. I am sure you are burping alot. Keep it up. It does help and you will find yourself burping less and less. Walk as much as possible to. That helps alot.
