Clothing and Style



Recommended Posts

I have found a lot of good deals at thrift stores and consignment shops. I buy a few new things that may be a little snug with room to lose more and not be baggy. I wouldnt go completely nuts but buy a little as you go. You could also look into having some things taken in. I have a beautiful dress that I am having shortened and taken in. Its a size 20 but I am not a 14. Most places charge about 5 to 7 dollars to take in clothes which is cheaper then buying new clothes.

Thank you. I will look into that as well! Getting them taken in don't distort them too much?

Well you can only go in a couple of inches before it wouldnt look right but its better then buying new clothes for now. Or if you know someone with a sewing machine that would do it for less.

Vj, just wanted to let you know you got me motivated by this post and I went through my closet and got rid of a lot of clothes today, actually I had a really fun time trying on pants and finding they are too big :).

And I see you are from Louisville, I'm only about an hour away from you in Northern Kentucky, not too far from Cincinnati.

      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!
