Haha, I finally went out last weekend and got new scrubs for the same reason. I've lost now 65 pounds total (25 ish since surgery) and I was way past due.

Some of the thrift stores and consignment shops carry scrubs. I'm planning to do all my shopping for the next year there because I'll probably run through the sizes pretty quickly (hopefully) Once I get close to goal I'll invest more in clothes.

What about those silly little clippie things? (Clearly I have no clue what they might be called...) They're 4 inches long or so and have little suspender clips at each end. You could clip one to the back of your top to pull it in from the back. Probably will look kinda dumb from the back, but it'll probably buy you quite a bit of time before you actually have to suck it up and buy new ones. They would probably be found at a fabric store.

Congrats on your hard work!

How about the scrubs at Walmart? Personally from a psychological stand point you need to by a few clothes as your weight goes down. It's part of retraining your brain to recognize your shrinking body.

      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!
