I have this new small body body and am having trouble finding cute summer dresses to buy. I wear size 4 in pants but need smaller in dresses. Went shopping only to find very limited supply of size 2 dresses. And the ones I found were low cut of v neck, not flattering for my A cup.

Yup. I might taser you first. :D

@@rayanne, are your stats updated in your profile? I was just checking it out and it says you are pre-surgery, yet you have a surgery date and I was curious if your other stats were updated?

I'm sick and tire of being on my back (insert dirty joke here) ! When can I sleep on my stomach or side????

Two weeks post for me. You'll know when you are ready and your body will tell you when it's not! My wife made an embankment of pillows for me which allowed me to transition nicely.

I would love to unload on this topic with all my craziness, but I will keep it on www.deviantart.com instead.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I made a cloud of pillows after surgery, with my head a lot higher to counteract the acid, and I have gotten used to it. I still sleep with 4-6 pillows at 8 months, I like it :P

How about stinky running shoes? Trying on too many clothes because you have so many choices now and spending money you shouldn't? LOL.

I was told my face & neck look like Tales of the Crypt and that I needed to gain 30 pounds back.

To hell with them. I'd rather look like it than be dead in a crypt. I got a panni. I'm done with plastics. And done giving a damn about who thinks they have a right to an opinion about my weight or my looks

how rude some people can be! I'd try to think of some snappy comeback but they just don't deserve the energy that would take.RJ just keep on standing out in the sunshine... To hell with them!

      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!
