Spring Shopping Here I come!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

OK, so I'm going to Florida in two weeks, and had to get the summer clothes out early (not to mention the fact it was 71 degrees in Boston yesterday!)......and to my surprise NONE of them fit!!!!! WAY TOO BIG!!!!! I have been so frustrated since I have lost over 50lbs and have only gone down 1 jean size and 1 bra size and can wear most of my other winter clothes. Different story on the summer stuff though! Guess I really pork it up in summer (historically) as all my summer things were bigger than my winter things. Anyhow, they are all gone now, and I have some serious shopping to do!!!!!! Anyone wanna go with?

On a side note, I was playing with my Bracelet the other night while watching TV -- you know the one, it hasn't been off my wrist in over 7 years, (even during 2 c-sections and lapband surgery) because it won't fit back over my hand, and suddenly I was holding it with my other hand! I didn't even realize it would come off!

Well, at least if I'm not seeing some SVs, I have a few NSVs going on!

Happy Spring everyone!

These are the BEST though.

Our bodies show us something different more often then the scale.

Thank God!

Have a marvelous time! New clothes are always fun but even better when they're smaller! I tend to wear my clothes looser than a lot of people so I'm not yet needing to shop for new ones, but I can't wait! And I am noticing smaller things, like my feet are skinnier and my watch is looser. So we have to enjoy those NSVs to the max! Shop till you drop, and ha ve fnu!

I never got how you could lose inches and not weight but I certainly do now! It is incredible isnt it?

I'm going shopping in the next few days too, yeehaa! Its getting cool in Melbourne now and nothing from last winter fits me, even Tshirts and long sleeved tops, they're just gaping.

Enjoy your shopping, at least it's kind of in season - I'm going to Byron Bay in September and it'll be the dead of winter, no idea where I"m going to get warmer weather clothes from in Melbourne in September. Perhaps I'll have to shop up there, lol.

      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!
