I have a lot of pants from size 16 down to 10. I saved all my clothes when I was on my way up the sizes. They are things that never really go out of style because basically I never wear anything that is high style.

I know I want to end up around a size 4 or 6 so I have been hitting the Goodwill and Ebay. It's funny: I have duplicate pairs of pants in a 16, 14, 12, 10, 8 and 6. I'm just getting into 14s now. It's not so bad when you can do it on the cheap. I don't mind used clothes as long as they are in good condition. I give away lots of nice clothing so I certainly shouldn't be weird about it.

I am 5 months out and around 110 pounds down. my clothes are falling off me. i am trying not to buy any new clothes because i am still losing. dont see any reason to buy a new wardrobe when i will need more "new" clothes in another 5 months. i know im going to have alot clothes to give to the thrift store when i get to my goal.

I had to reply to this. There is no way I could wear my size 20s even with belts. I have some extra stomach skin and if I wear something that's just a little too big, it accentuates that pouch and looks just horrible. That's just me. You're mileage may vary ;)

I started shopping at 2 months and I probably buy a shirt every other week? But i can warr thise for a couple months. I bought one pair of jeans but waiting as long as I can to buy some shorts. Also check Gabriel brothers if you live up north, or Marshalls. I love those stores. You can get tops 7 bucks pants 10-12. I can't wait to get some new skirts and sundresses :-D

Dresses and tights! I just bought stuff off eBay. Dresses for $10 to $15. eBay has been a life saver. Nothing I used to own is in my closet anymore. I wear a dress everyday! I will wait until I am maintaining the same weight for awhile. Clothes can be expensive.

      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.

      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!
