I just ripped my pants. At work. My plus size dress pants could no longer contain my thighs. I don't think the rip is super noticeable because it's on the inner thigh, but I'm so embarrassed! This is further confirmation I've made the right decision.

Feeling a ton of emotions right now and none of them good...

Has anyone else had an eye-opening moment like this?

Been there and done that. I ripped my pants stem to stern and had to tie 2 jackets together so I could get home. So embarrassing. But that won't happen again because I am on the road out this weight mess.

I hid in my office for the rest of the day and now I'm waddling home hoping that everyone else on the subway doesn't notice!

Yes!! I posted my story a few weeks ago another forum about when you knew that it was time to do something about your weight! I was at work in my uniform????

Was getting on the tea cup ride with my daughter @ Dorney Park, and couldn't get the seat belt around me - the attendant asked me to get off if I couldn't put on the stupid belt on this kiddie ride. Had to call her father over to get on with her to avoid screaming toddler. Definitely dampened my mood for the rest of the day. More reason to get this done!!! Don't want her to feel Mommy can't do certain things with her, or doesn't have the energy, or feel embarrassed.

It stinks that we all have gone through these craptastic and embarrassing life moments, but it's great to know we are all here for the same reason and are making changes to improve our health.

Time for some new pants! Maybe I'll get some shoes to help ease the pain of my traumatic experience :)

Don't give up. A week before my surgery I sat on an airplane where the seatbelt barely closed and where my thighs trickle under the arm rest. Poor guy next to me had to deal with it. It was at that moment when I knew there was no turning back.

      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!
