NSV! Yay size 12!!!!



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I've been rather down on myself because I fell off the wagon over the holidays. I didn't exercise for 10 days and didn't really watch what I ate, I grazed a lot. So I busted my tail and worked out really hard last week, watched what I ate and the scale reflected....nothing. I have remained at the same weight for about 4 weeks. This, for me, is a disaster as I was losing 10 pounds a month on average for 9 months!

So, I started the 5 day pouch test today to get back on track and jumpstart the weight loss again. Tonight I decided to try on some clothes I got on clearance for an upcoming trip in two months, and lo and behold, the dang size 12 skirt went on and zipped up and was snug, but 12? 12??? Haven't seen a 12 in oh.....about 12 years! Hope the silly thing fits in 2 months! If not, I'd rather have wasted the 9.99 than have it be too small!

Congratulations! I just managed to zip up a pair of size 12 jeans,too. Now they are definitely too tight to wear in public, but I'm pretty excited. Size 12 sounds incredibly small when you used to be a 26.

Now if only we could figure out a way to discreetly display the size tag.....

Ha! you guys are so funny! Amazing how a 12 sounds so small to some and would be other people's "fat clothes"...coming from a size 24 I'd say a size 12 is damn good! We should all be proud--damn those pounds, let's talk sizes!

I know! I was a tight 26/28, now I am a 14/16. I am proud of that...heck, when I reach a 12, I will probably shout it from the rooftops. Sew extra big tags that say "size 12" in my clothes, you name it, i will do it.:thumbup:

It is kind of surreal sometimes, when folding the laundry, I will go to fold pants or even panties and wonder for a minute whose clothes they are. It is weird. They look small to me now, since I absolutely remember where I was 18 months ago.

      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!
