Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

So once again, I find myself out buying clothes because the ones from 6 weeks ago are falling off... I'm at Walmart (inexpensive) and of course I keep looking to the XXL or XL but I'm squarely now in Larges. After enough trying on clothing, I'm leaving but see a really cute top.

Here's the odd-good NSV. I didn't feel like going BACK to the dressing room, so with out thinking, I just took the shirt, pulled it over my head OVER the top I'm wearing. Skid to halt---- huh? Before WLS I would need to strip down to my skivvies! And the funny thing was I didn't think twice before I did it!

Boom!

And yes, fit perfectly.

I too still look in the 1x to x-large sizes and for the most part I go for the x-large shirts. I don't like a top to be form fitting at all! I've not had any plastics done and yes when I sit you can see my belly :-(

I'm 59 years old and these tops have been in my closet for years. I did also use some 2x tops before surgery. I've lost most my weight in the "boobs" and from the hips down. I'm in a mostly size 8 skinny jean at old Navy, and some 10's if I buy them elsewhere and they are an off brand.

But I am happy with my weight loss so far and I reckon I will still look in the x-large size shirts.

Oh and yes I have gotten rid of all those huge shirts and pants more than a couple times. I've had fun shopping for clothes now that I've lost weight.

Great unusual NSV!! I've been known to slip on a top or jacket without returning to the dressing room again. What's the harm as long as we don't walk out of the store with the item on :) LOL!!!

I still look at a lot of 2XL tops even though I can comfortably wear XL and some Large depending on style. I still have to fit my hips and prefer a certain length to help cover my belly. I'm 60 years old and seriously doubt that I will ever have any plastic surgery done.

Congratulations on your success!!

Congratulations to all of us for the great progress we've made already!!

      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.

      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!
