I am a nurse and wear scrubs all the time. At work last night I was told to get some new dang clothes! They said I looked like I had on a droopy diaper bc my pants were so big! But they said it in a loving supportive way. Question, at what point did others buy new clothes? I hate to spend money now when I am only 1/4 of the way to my goal.

I got the same comments from my family. Luckily, I was a yo-yo so I have several different sizes stored away. The only problem is that they're a little outdated fashion-wise. I also don't want to spend money on clothes at this point. I'm also having a problem parting with the stuff that's too big. I just can't get over the idea that I need to save them "just in case".

I went to the local thrift store/goodwill store and bought my "going through" clothes... I didnt want to spend a lot on clothes i was only going to wear a few weeks... I carried them home washed them and they worked good! Once I get closer to my goal weight i will go on a shopping spree!!! :) :)

I found that I could get away with too-big shirts much easier than the baggy pants. Someone at work told me I have a "poop sack" in my pants. I also had some smaller sized clothes stored away... but the pants were way out of style and I can't use them. I've lost 50 pounds and I'm going to have to break down and buy a couple of pairs of pants just to get by. Great problem to have!

      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.

      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!
