How about some NSVs!?!?

Today: bought size 18 jeans, size xl sweatpants from the regular side, and last night I took a bath for the first time in forever. I measured my hips and I've lost 20 inches.

Oh and I'm a big sports fan and I get to buy all new jerseys for each of my teams and now I wear a medium... I used to hate that the axis was on the outside for all the world to see... Now I love it

The smallest clothes I own are now too big for me. I went from having only two complete outfits in 2X that fit (barely) back in May, to 1X, to XL, to L (pant sizes going down from 22, 20, 18, 16, 14) - all of which I already owned due to an Optifast weight loss back in '09. I'm edging into unfamiliar territory - MEDIUMS!! And sz12's! From here on in it is all unfamiliar territory.

Now, whenever I buy a sz12, I also pick up a sz10. I'm even eyeing sz8's and smalls on clearance racks - is it possible I could get THAT small? :-)

Its "that" time of the month...I feel fat and bloated.....but....my "I feel fat pants" are now a 16 vs a 22/24.

Also....although tops were lasting longer because they aren't as fitted...most of mine are too big now. I don't have one jacket that is even passable.

It was extremely cold outside this morning so I decided to look for my size 14 pea coat which I wore the first year I had the band now 2 months post op from bypass the coat fits and I've got room in the sleeves that I never had. I haven't been able to wear this coat for the last 5 years! I'm so excited!

I sure wish there was universal sizing.... I have clothes from a fourteen to a twenty, all fit well! All around the same size too, just different brands... Very frustrating when trying to purchase online.....

I agree! I hate this which is why I stick with only a couple brands. Usually Levis and Maurices.

      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!
