No More "Big and Tall Stores"!



Recommended Posts

I went today and bought a couple of long sleeved dress shirts and for the first time in over 15 years I didn't have to go to the "big and Tall" store. Just went to a regular old clothing store! Yea me!!!!

That is great! It is such a wonderfull feeling to fit into smaller clothes. I think it's even better than seeing the scale go down, although it's close lol. Keep up the good work!

Yay Rick! Feels great, doesn't it? I love finding clothes at regular stores.

As I've been losing I've made a point of cleaning out my closet regularly. If I try it on and it doesn't fit right, out it goes. Life is too short to keep old clothes I don't ever intend to wear again.

I was in tight 3X shirts when I started this. It wasn't long before I blew through 2X, and I'm now wearing XL shirts. Pants have followed similar size changes. My blue jeans started out in the 44-46 waist range, but the last pair I bought are a comfortable 36 waist. Needless to say, I'm thrilled.

Congrats to everyone who is getting smaller!

      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!
