Clothing size, bones showing, BMI, thighs no longer touching, the feeling of being lighter, having a spring in your step

No more man hands and now collar bones showing up. Forgot I had some. Strangers are nicer and actually give eye contact in public and don't ignore your existence. Just a few for me. I just moved to the overweight category and out of the obese one. It sure feels nice.

I have noticed I am treated WAY different in public. Sales people are nicer, I can go into any store and not get the "why are you in this store, you must be shopping for a gift" look...

Thighs not rubbing together... or even touching for that matter. My jeans no longer start to wear in the thighs first.

When I bought a size EIGHT jeans from American Eagle (my moment!)

when my husband holds me... I feel small in his arms now.

When my six year old hugs me and lights up and says "mommy I can hug you all the way now!" meaning her hands can reach all the way around me..

I still have a bit to loose, I am considered "normal" for the BMI range now, but I'd like to get into the 130's. I was 148 last time I weighed earlier this week so not too far to loose for my "end goal"!

      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!
