I am having a hard time but it's an ok hard time with clothing. I am trying to wait until I reach my goal weight before I go out and get some threads. But I am really not doing good with pants. Shorts I can buy and wear for awhile but pants I have to wait. Is anybody else having this problem

Oh yeahhhh, my pants look like an army of elfs moved out. I plan on going to the local consignment shop and buying a few pair of pants to get me through awhile. They are used but in good shape so its all I need. I've bought a few shirts to spruce things up for work but all of my old dresses are fitting. I don't mind wearing them to church but I sure don't want to wear a dress to work. My coworkers will think I lost my mind. lol

I see where Dr, Shin did your surgery. I am planning on going to Dr. Neace's seminar on Tuesday, but I think it's a shorter wait time with Dr. Shin, good luck!

I spent a good amount of time shopping this weekend. I only buy if I can get a smoking deal. For example, I picked up a pair of Levi's for $7 off the clearance rack at Kohl's. I get lots of stuff there. I also did a consignment shop - found a couple things there.

I am 7 months out and down 120lbs. The first 3 months I was buying clothes every 2 weeks. Now I buy once a month. Luckily here in Indiana Goodwill is 50% off the first Saturday of the month.

I was in a size 20 when I started. I am 5 months post op, down 55 lbs and now more like a size 16. I broke down and bought a few work pants cuz even my nicest suits look super baggy. One of my co workers was almost laughing on day at how much room was in the legs of my pants. I don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe as I really want to wait until I hit the weight I think I will be for a while. Not sure when that is though?!? I also had some really skinny jeans that I used to squeeze into when I would flex and lose a bit of weight so glad I still had these pants! This last weekend I went through my closet and got rid of a garbage bag size bag of clothes. Wow. That was awesome. My wardrobe is a bit boring right now, but everything fits better so whatever I out on looks better than it used to...I agree that dresses are still fitting as well, just fit a little better now!! :) I did also recently break down and buy a blazer online at ebay that is a size 14w and it fits perfectly! Yay. Ebay is great-lots of good deals on clothes. Good luck and congrats!!

      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!
