I have no idea what size I am in now. I don't really want to buy clothes yet but I am starting to look ridiculous in my clothes now. What to do, what to do....

Go to goodwill, salvation army, try on some clothes that fit and buy them.

Yes, Goodwill or local consignment shop. Don't spend a fortune of clothes you are going to get too small for within a few months.

Happy for you to be losing it into smaller sizes! :) Keep up the great work!

I hear ya! I am agonizing over buying a new pair of jeans. I am going to try the "buy one item at a time" method. You know you need to break down and buy a new pair when you can pull them down without unbuttoning and unzipping! LOL

I had to hold up a pair of slacks up with a safety pin a couple of weeks ago...feels good but you can only do that for so long...

Value village or Salvation Army is great for cheap clothes while in the progress. I did this in highschool when I got pretty sick and lost 160 lbs.

Do you have a Facebook account? A lot of cities/towns now have local "yard sale" pages. I have gotten a lot of cute used name brand clothes on my towns sight. Even sold some too. People like buying "almost" new clothes. Just do a search on Facebook.

      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!
