So today my girlfriends and I went shopping for dresses for our friends services next weekend. It was an AMAZING feeling for me to pick out dresses that were 3-4 sizes smaller then what I had been wearing! I also got an awesome pair of heels to go with this new pink dress. I know my friend was guiding me in my choices today because they are all things I was going to walk away from initially.

We are all getting tattoos in her honor also. Can't wait for Friday, but Saturday can stay away for awhile. I had always thought about a tattoo but never did anything about it because of my weight. I must say, I am feeling damn good lately. I cut my hair off, bought a hot dress and "hooker heels" (not really, but they are high!), and am getting a tattoo.

Exciting things on the horizon. I might need to go dress shopping again!!

I love tattoos! I have 5 but they are all in simple places like my ankles and foot..ive been picky on where I get it because of my weight but I am using a new tattoo as a reward when I lose 100 lbs...I wanna get one on my shoulder. I never got one there because im too self conscious to wear a tank top and whats the point of a tattoo if u cant show it off right? Congrats on the dress and the new look! I cant wait til I get to the point where I can shop for smaller clothes! Reading these stories inspire me even more! What is ur tattoo going to be?

It is going to be an elephant with a pink ribbon incorporated into it. I'm super excited! I'll post a pic when it is done.

      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!
