This weightloss stuff is expensive!



Recommended Posts

Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited to be consistently loosing weight, but this is getting expensive! Thank God for a nice consignment store and thrift stores near by!

I started out in 22-20's (238) and I'm down to a comfortable 16 (202). I bought my first pair of "skinny jeans" recently. Not because I feel like I'm skinny, but I have a FLATTTTTT BUTT! We were away at Thanksgiving visiting family for a few days. The jeans that I'd packed were falling off of me and I could feel the back of my jeans flapping in the wind because I have no a$$!

Fortunately I found a Goodwill store nearby and got a few pair of jeans relatively cheap. I even got a couple pair of 14's just because they were so cheap. I figured I'd get into them in a few weeks. I had no idea how sloppy I looked wearing clothes that are too large.

The big bargain that I found that I'm so excited about is a New Zealand lamb skin leather coat! I only paid $20 for it! It looks brand new and still has that "new leather" smell to it, even though it was in a thrift store! Now that I'm home and I've lost down to 200lbs - it fits GREAT!

I used to be really bad about hanging on to clothes because my weight always fluctuated so much. My new goal is to take it to the consignment store once it gets too large. No more clothes hoarding for me. It's all "down hill" from here on out!

I agree about clothes being expensive! It's hard to know what size to buy and if I will be able to wear them more than a few weeks.

At work, I was actually told that I need to retire some of my dress pants because they look too unprofessional.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful everyday for this tool that helps me lose weight. It's just a delicate balance.

Oh, and I have the same issue with the flat butt!

      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.
