I just realized I can now take off my wedding ring without using Windex! Lol I had to use Windex to get It off before my surgery on Halloween.

In a couple of months you will have to stop wearing it because it will start to slip right off. I am 4 months out from surgery and have lost a total of about 85 pounds (45 pre surgery). My wedding ring is a size 7 and I am now wearing a size 4 3/4 to 5. I can't believe how little my fingers are now. This is such crazy fun stuff!

Congrats my friend! Your doing great!

IMO the first NSV is always the best... because it's living proof it's working!! Congrats, this is always a really good one too. I agree with ShellBear, be prepared your rings will be fallen off ya soon... be careful more like it. You don't want to lose them. :)

My feet went from 10.5 to 9 or 9.5 and I got rid of LOADS of awesome shoes. Sigh.

My rings started at size 8 and now I'm about a 6.

my hubby bought me a ring and it was a size 7 but i just couldnt wait to wear it so i had it sized higher to 9 and it is lose on me now. i went from a size 11 to the 9 and now it is prob an 8. my shoes i am not sure what it is now but i know that the last time i wore my heals they fit just fine then when i went to church the were moving to much and i ended up with blisters on both big toes so telling you don't force yourself to wear them no matter what that hurts lol!

Congrats Bonbon! Good feeling!! I just got my ring resized to bigger. :P I can't wait for the other direction. I also can't WAIT for my feet to shrink! They're too fat to have very many shoes. I'm the only woman I know with less shoes than her husband. Surgery on 2/13/12. Can't wait!

I have a seiko watch that I have always loved. When I first got it I had a link taken out so it would not dangle around... then it got so tight I couldnt wear it, I lost the link. I put it up for years... I just got it back out and it fits great! Woohooo! I can also wear my wedding rings and my thumbring again....Down 55 pounds!

The sad news is that I went on vacation in Brazil this spring at my heaviest and bought jewelry. It wont fit anymore and I am going to have to have it resized! Yay, sort of....

      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!
