Rings - NSV



Recommended Posts

So great news and a problem... I've lost about 20 lbs so far and my engagement ring is getting really lose. I have about 50 more to go to get to my goal weight.

Other than getting it resized often, what do you do to tighten your rings? When I was little I tied yarn around a few times but that gets a bit nasty when washing hands. I remember some metal thingy to clamp on there but I can't find it on Amazon or eBay. Suggestions?

Walmart jewelry counter has plastic things that keep your ring from falling off. Easy to use. Cheap. The metal wraps snag clothing or scratch skin unless the jeweler can wrap it nicely with no edges. I just resized mine a whole size down after 40 lbs lost and then I use the plastic Walmart things with my costume jewelry that is now all too big for me. I'll probably resize my wedding ring once more in 40 more lbs....my goal. I'm now 46.5 down.

Congrats! My very first NSV was that my rings and bracelets fit again. Haven't gotten to the falling off my fingers stage yet, though.

My wedding ring now falls off my finger. Unfortunately since it is tungsten carbide it can't be resized. It wasn't very expensive. Since it was only a couple years ago I should probably see if I can find the seller on eBay and buy the same ring in a couple smaller sizes.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.Β  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.Β  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.

        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.

      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!
