Sizes clearly mean nothing



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else seem to notice that the weight comes off from top to bottom? My face seems thinner and unfortunately so do my boobs but not my badonk-a-donk! My clothes are more comfortable but no decrease. I have tried to increase my walking and bike riding to try to help.

Ugh no. Weight came out of my butt right away. The last place I wanted to lose.

I'm eager to wear fitted clothes to show off my loss and because I think they just look better but it's HARD. Not wearing stupid generic plus sized clothes anymore has reminded me how difficult it is to dress as a really short curvy woman. If I had more money to blow I would have everything tailored even as I lose. Nipped at the waist. But I have to deal with some ill-fitting or loose clothing for awhile I think.

Best item I every bought while I was losing? A dress clip. It cinches in items at the waist by clipping it to to spots in the back. Got so much more wear out of clothing and it made it flattering!

Search on Amazon and you will see them. In a pinch a mitten clip works too

I'm looking on Amazon but confused. Tell me more please. Does it go outside your clothing or underneath? Thank you.

      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!
