Fit in 48's today for the first time in years



Recommended Posts

Howdy all. Just had a moment that felt worthwhile of sharing here. About 10 weeks out of my December VSG and just slid on a pair of 48 jeans.

Think its probably the first time I have been wearing 48's in at least the past 5 years.

At my pre-surgery highest weight I was sporting 56's, and 56's with an elastic waist that seemed pretty generous. 2 months later and all those clothes are up on EBay.

Just a waypoint along the way, but those threshold numbers seem to hold a bit of extra meaning. Motivational to think that, after today, it will likely be the last time ever wearing pants in 50 plus sizes.

Thanks for listening :).

      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!
