anticipa-a-a-a-tion!



Recommended Posts

My daughter (age 16 and size 10) went through her winter clothes last weekend before we went to buy her some summer clothes. And I snagged on to a few of her things she doesn't want. Because I KNOW by late winter I will need those! :))) I cannot wait to be that size or smaller! Then we went shopping for her at Aerie and you know what? I want to wear that cutesie stuff too!! I am looking forward to shopping!

Yeah, I can't wait to be able to shop in any store I want and shop with my friends in the same stores. It kind of feels like I have missed out on what is supposed to be a part of growing up.

Shopping is soo awesome. I went from a 4x (only could get them in certain stores) to a 2 x and now I can go to malls it is soo awesome..I guess I like shopping for myself when I can actually find the size with out going to the big and tall mens store..YOu have to love nsv"s . It has been a blast soo far. The only bad thing about it is I don't have anymore money to buy clothes.

MeMeMEEE, my daughter (20) worked at Aerie for a year before the mall flooded (we live in Nashville). She spent all her money there and I just thought it was all the cutest stuff'! I hadn't even thought about being able to shop there for myself. Is it weird that I'm excited about buying panties that do NOT come in a 6-pack?????

My husband was concerned about how much money I would have to spend on all new clothes once I lost the weight. I explained that it would still probably be cheaper than what I'm spending now at Lane Bryant. I can shop sales, clearance racks, discount stores, consignment instead of always having to buy full-price stuff at the "big ladies" specialty stores.

I hit a garage sale today - found myself buying things for my daughter that if she doesn't like I will sit back for me hehe! I am pretty sure I need to organize my closet in to sizes!

Ahhh - how wonderful that everyone is anticipating having to shop for new clothes...and looking forward to it! Drawback is that you do spend a lot of money, but try thrift stores (I shot threw size 12 in 2 weeks) and many of my clothes had tags on them. Careful about hanging onto clothes since sizes vary from maker to maker. I only buy deeply discounted sale items for now. Gotta love the sleeve!

I actually have a couple of old pieces of clothes that I've saved for years, hoping to get into them again. I'm looking forward to that even more than going shopping for new stuff...actually, when all is said and done, I think those old clothes may actually be too BIG for me!! What a day that will be!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
