I know you all will understand

So u just have to post this because I know you will all understand. I am in desperate need of clothes for work that are not falling off me. I went to Goodwill because I can't justify spending lots of money on clothes that I will only wear for a month or so if best. I went and really didn't know what size I needed. I grabbed a couple sizes and went to the dressing room. Long story short. I fit in a 22! I was so elated! I went from a size 30 pants only 3 months ago, to a 22! And actually, I'd say a 20 in a few weeks. The 22 were not tight at all. Sorry, I just had to share because I know you will all understand! I can't remember a time that I had to go down a size, and not go up...

LOL I had to finally break down and buy new scrubs.. cuz of the comments.. those look like your older sisters hand me downs they were so big..and those look like a dress on you..and when are you going to buy some new scrubs.. those are falling off.. so I broke down..and was so shocked at the size I had to buy.. I still bought a size bigger.. cuz I wasnt believing what I was seeing. Im like I dont wear a large.. no way im bigger than that.. turns out im not. I hold up the clothes and im like those look small for me.. but omg they fit.. weird mind games lol... best of luck to you :)

Congrats how wonderful for you. I totally understand, I'm only 5 weeks out, but I've lost 31 lbs, and everything looks baggy on me, I'm having a hard time keeping some of my pants up. however, I refuse to buy new clothes just yet, I can sew and plan on taking some of them in,

I hear you. I tried to hold off on buying new clothes for as long as possible. I was able to camouflage my baggy clothes for a few months. But when I did buy some, I couldn't believe how many sizes I lost. I didn't buy much because doc sad I'd come down another 2 or 3 sizes in another 3 months a the rate i' losing. Unbelievable!!!!

      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.

      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.
