Hi guys. So some of my pants are getting too loose. Yahoo! But to keep my wardrobe costs reasonable I am wondering if I could belt some. The problem is normal belt digs into my incision when I sit down. Has anyone seen an elastic style belt that would hold my pants up but not be so rigid when I sit or squat? I tried Amazon but the one kind they had didn't have very good reviews.

I used some pretty scarfs/sashes and tied them off. Looked nice and very soft. I'd check out thrift stores for those or belts that might work for cheap.

I saw tons of elastic belts on Amazon with high ratings tho?

Maybe I was looking under the wrong thing. The one plus size I saw said came undone when you sat or bent over.

How about a maternity/pregnancy band like women wear when they outgrow their pants. Gives a layered look if seen under your shirt and comes in different colors. It looks like a tube top for your waist/belly area.

I sometimes steal my son's dapper snappers. It's an elastic strap with snaps that goes through a couple of your belt loops. On him, it goes through the three loops in the back. On me, I do it through two loops. It adds just enough cinching power to keep up my pants without the annoyance of a belt.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
