I always made sure I had two bras that fit. You look so much better in your clothes with a well fitting bra. I also made sure I had two pairs of pants that fit too.

Anyway, my new scale came!! It says I have 9.5% body fat. Hmm. Not sure I believe that. I'm going to ask for a Dexa scan at my 1 year PCP check up and see how it compares. But it says my left leg is more muscular than my right and I believe that.

I bought a body fat scanner thing for 9 bucks at CVS. You put in your height, weight, age, and hold it out in front of you. I took it with me to the doctor and it was accurate. Maybe a friend has one of those you could borrow.

Oh and safety pins don't work on thin undies. Just a little note in case you might need it in the future. Your undies just end up looking like you were attacked by a wolverine at the end of the day.

:001_wub: My wonderful hubby bought me new panties. He was careful to say he only bought 6 pairs because I looked silly walking around with my panties down. He looked at the too big ones and bought a size down. They fit perfect. He knew I would never do it myself.

How did I get so lucky?

Wow, I would be afraid to see what my hubby would come home with if he were to shop for panties for me.

when I was losing, I made sure I bought the

kind that had a little spandex in them. They

seemed to stay snugger longer even if they

were a little big, if that makes sense.

It does make sense. I have Spanx that are technical way too big that fit me fine. I only get rid of them when the legs go down my legs so far that you can see them peeping out when I wear shorts or skirts.

:lol0::lol0::lol0::lol0:Cajun, I wonder where you have heard of rotten gravy yogurt? I'm still laughing.:lol0::lol0::lol0::lol0:

No kidding, that is what it has always tasted like to me. I like gravy ok but yogurt taste like gravy made with sour milk. Maybe after I get my sleeve it will be oh, so delicious.:lol0:

I was responding to a post by someone who said they thought yogurt tasted like "rotten gravy"!!!

It's easy to see how someone who does not like it might think it tastes like sour milk...but gravy? I don't know. Anyway, I like it myself! glad you got a laugh out of my post!

      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.

        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!
