NSV - I need new clothes!



Recommended Posts

This has been my first real NSV since surgery. Well, a couple of weeks after surgery, a couple of people said that they could see that my face was thinner, but that doesn't really count because they knew I had surgery. Anyway, I noticed today that I could pull my pants down without unzipping them (unbuttoned but not unzipped) and that my shirt was baggier than I remember it being. So I guess I need new clothes! It's a good thing that the last time I found pants that I liked, I bought three different sizes of them (when you're 5'3" and fat, and find something you like that fits well, you get several because you'll never find them again if you go back to look).

Lauren,

That's terrific. I totally understand the buying all you can find that fits...At 6ft tall, I have the same problem (just different!!! :) ).

What a great NSV...Happy for you!

Penney's is having a pretty good sale. $20 off 100$. I just ordered a pair of jeans and 4 tops. I am down to a size 16 from a 22 in jeans and down to and XL from a 2x in tops. It is a great feeling but kind of hard on the pocketbook. I keep an eye out for sales! Great job!

I BADLY need new tops. I can't buy things off the internet, though, because I have to try clothes on before I buy them. Some things fit, others don't. There's never any pattern to it, though. I usually wind up buying very plain t-shirts, all the same style but different colors, just because it's so hard to find clothes that fit. Pants are the hardest. I carry much of my weight in my belly, so if I find pants that fit around my waist, they're usually baggy around my hips and absolutely cavernous around my butt.

      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!
