I have no clothes



Recommended Posts

I have this problem as well, but I have found a system that helps. I put the big girl clothes into consignment, and don't take the $$ out. I have been just shopping with the credit there. It is working nice. It is funny as hell though to see my stuff on the racks. Part of me wants to take them back...lol....why I have no idea. lol....

Hey...I am a guy and understand you. I have been banded since March 28 and down now--35 pounds. My clothes are starting to look crazy too. My jean shorts are baggy as all outdoors. But with me--they can be loose--since guys wear them loose and big. I had to buy a stretch belt though---I get them to feel right.

I hope that you try harder to lose. I know it can be tough for many of us to lose. I was doing crazy things in April---riding my bike 2 times daily and lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. No joke--then the weight dipped to the that 1.5 to 2.5 each week. So with the slow down--I averaged 2.75 so far now for 15 weeks...Oh yes--I am keeping track of this thing. Many of my so called friends ask--what's wrong with my clothes. Then the ones who chose to say nothing--Just look at me strangely.

One lady said the craziest thing. She asked me--was I using drugs? Like the crack cociane. Have you heard it all?? I guess we can't lose weight unless a drug is involved...hahahahaha

Lee4Love -- Great!! Keep doing this. But get some clothes that fit. It's amazing how many people notice you have lost weight when your clothes fit. I went to take my old RAV 4 for cleaning to sell it and my old dean noticed I'd lost weight because I had clothes that fit. He thought I looked great. Of course, he's seen me at least 3 times since I lost weight, but my clothes didn't fit. Get some thing clothes.

chica -- Well, poop. I gave all my 20 clothes to a girl I know who just had a baby. If you have a good Goodwill or Salvation Army, shop there. I've seen some really good clothes at those places and all you have to do it have them cleaned.

      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!
