Wore A Belt For The First Time.



Recommended Posts

Here in Texas (I'm sure other states do too) we wear big blingy, shiny stuff. Well... I was always able to wear the rings and necklaces and stuff like that but was always too self-conscious to wear the belts. Well... my cloths are all falling off and I needed a belt.... I don't and haven't owned a belt in years.... like since the silver laced belt was in style (hope everyone knows what that is). So.... I'm in my room and I have a pair of pants on and every time I bend over or walk or do anything my pants were falling down around my hips and I was complaining about wishing Christmas would hurry up and get over so I could spend some money on some new cloths. Having two teenage daughters my money goes on them and not on me. Anyway,.... My 17 yr old daughter, who is a size 4, walks in and says "Here... Where my belt." I told her as I was putting it through the belt loops that there was no way in the world that her belt would ever fit me. Then it happen.... I buckled it on the second hole. The SECOND hole! I almost cried again. Now I'm going to go buy me a very pretty belt to wear. May even save me some money on jeans.

Hey Julie ... congrats... another great NSV!

I too have started to wear belts with my trousers and jeans... it is saving me a fortune in new clothes too! Especially when I was in between sizes. I am hoping that one day I can wear one, like you, for 'fashion' and to pretty up an outfit!!

No I don't have a specific date yet but I'm hoping the last week of Jan. 1st week of Feb. as long as things stay on track like they are now. I have to do a 10 week online program for my insurance to cover, (I'm in week 5 now!) plus the 4 months of weighing in and seeing nut before that. After my 10 week program is up then I have to go to 1 class and they said I could sch. after that. I've bee in the process since June 28th. I can't wait!!! :)

      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!
