Now I've went and done it... Motivation Level set to: EXTREME!



Recommended Posts

So, My lovely wife who constantly puts up with my hairbrained schemes, crazy trips and run-on sentences with grace and patience volunteers at the local chapter of the Assistance League, or as I call it "The League of Extraordinary Ladies".

I went in today to say hello and saw the most wonderful thing. A Goeffery Beene Neimun Marcus full length thick wool overcoat. It was a thing of beauty and a joy to behold. It was a large and ..... only $15. Ahem..... SQUEEEEE!!!

I purchased it. It is too small for me now, but after another 40 pounds.... It won't be.

I just thought I was motivated before, Now... motivation is turbo-charged.

I love that it's not just us girls that are motivated by clothing. I have a gorgeous Calvin Klein coat that I bought a few years ago when I was a size 8 (before I gained it all back) and I'm really looking forward to wearing it again.

I have a football jersey hanging up on my wall, that I havent been able to fit in for about 10 years. To squeeze into that is my ultimate gooooal.

I had been thinking about buying a pair of pants in my goal size. I thought maybe that was not a good thing to do. Maybe I should do it <_<

I have a size 18 wool coat with leopard print cuff and collar. It's really a lovely coat and I paid a pretty penny for it. I haven't worn it in YEARS. I'm pretty good about donating things to charity, but I held onto this coat because it was just so pretty. I'm hoping to get back in that bad boy this winter.

Today I fit in a size 14 petite coat that I wore when I was 18. That was 16 years ago!

I'm just hoping for a smaller birthday suit ... might need a lot of ironing with all the wrinkles though.

I always said I wanted to get back into my HS prom dress (size 16: it was beautiful and perfect for my church's anniversary banquet) but I think my mom gave it away :( But I'm gonna try to find one when I get my surgery date and be in it by April (I pray)

      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!
