Grrrr Stupid Jeans

Have you ever seen the 30 Rock episode where to get Lutz a date they change the size stickers at clothing stores?!

Size doesn't matter ;)

it really is true in this case

i am visiting my mom next month, she hasn't seen me since WLS - she knows my weight loss - she'll see me, be happy,

my mom sees me she'll ask my size, its medium, she'll be very happy - but if i told her it was a large, she wouldn't be that happy - go figure

its the psychological thing about a number - whether it be clothes or the scale

Linds324 - you will see the effects of your hard work - others see it - but your reflection in the mirror - looks the same to you - you see it every day-you'll eventually notice the difference

continued good luck - you are doing great my friend

The range between sizes 18 and above can be many inches and many pounds. As you get into the single digits or even size 12 and below, the difference between sizes can be as little as 10 pounds or less.

definitely one of those things geared to mess with our heads. It is totally normal to want to see visual evidence and validation of all your hard work. Keep hanging in. You will get there and this will be but a bump on the road.

We women are so hard on ourselves. As others have said, as you get into smaller sizes, they'll go by faster.

And I sooo get teh psychology of it all. I typically wear a medium in tops, but I have 36DD breasts, so if I shop in juniors or a teen store like Hollister or Abercrombie, I may need an XL. It used to play a game with my head, but i got over it a few weeks ago because I just like those clothes sometimes. It's not the size but how sexy I look in it. <----- own that statement.

      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.
