I wanted to do this New Years Eve but I was unable to, I did this New Years Day instead. I've been donating all of the clothes that I no longer fit except for the ones that had my company logo on them. I decided to wrap up our Christmas tree in the old clothes and torch it in the front yard. There is no way that I'm going to be wearing those sizes again! As it burned I danced around it screaming "my clothes, my clothes, my clothes are on fire. I don't need no Water let those M...........s burn! Burn M..............s burn!". If you are close to my age you may recognize the slightly different lyrics to a song from The Bloodhound Gang. Not the genre that I prefer but the song was appropriate for the situation.

Whew! What a relief to click in here and see that you're talking about clothes. The topic title had me worried that we were breaking up.

Big clothes, big fire. Hot times. In your yard, I mean.

There is a big difference in old and a well preserved treasure :)

decided to keep some select fancy dresses and alter them to my goal size later on once I make it. Gonna donate a bunch as well!

You'll be disappointed when you go to the dressmaker. Most things can be taken in up to two sizes if that much. After that, all detail is lost or completely misplaced. .

So you're saying I should be in Madame Tussaud's? You're not doing well here, fella.

I LOVE this! We remodeled our master closet this weekend where my poor hubby had to make me see that over half of my clothes are hilariously big on me. Poor guy didn't realize that would mean he'd have to sit through a fashion show of everything in the closet! Lol

I am saving stuff made of high quality fabric and things that I can cut down myself.

I have a beautiful size 24 black velvet opera jacket that I plan on turning into a knee length coat if I can find matching black velvet. My old adjustable dress dummy only goes up to size 16 I'm in a 20 now but look forward to sewing some altered formal wear. I think the kids do call this "up cycling"

      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!
