Okay so I was in need of some retail therapy today. I was in a size 26 plus size in May 2013 . So I picked up a size 20 because I didn't see an 18. The only other size was a 16 and I was like should I? Well I did and it got perfect! I almost had a fit! So I will be in a size 14. Unbelievable!!!

After years of taking blood pressure meds, I am no longer on anything. My pressure was extremely low after the hip replacement surgery last month and while it did climb, it's totally normal now without any medical assistance. Will see what my pressure is when I go to the doctor next month but am hoping I am done having to take anything for my pressure. Oh, and my sugar/cholesterol is perfectly normal as well. medication.

Jim you look AMAZING!!!!

Btw, it looks like you need new pants to go with your new belt. They're too big for your newly svelte body! :D

Awww...thank you. I am actually wearing 42's in this pic and they are baggy. I only have one other pair of jeans a size 40 and they were in the laundry. I am waiting a while before I buy more. These are barely two months old.

Funny thing about the belt. That is my original belt that barely fit to be buckled when I started. It is such a great NSV seeing how it wraps around 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.

        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!
