Had to run out to beat the garbage truck to the curb with a forgotten trash bag and grabbed my coat from the hall closet. When I got back inside I realized I was wearing my 13-yr-old, XS-clothes-wearing, 5'4"-tall, 100-lbs daughter's coat by mistake, and it totally fit! (well, except when I zipped it up to show her, it was pretty tight across the boobs, but still!!)


😂😂😂 This is awesome!!

I had one this past week. I have been buying business class seats to travel for years because of my size and never wanting to be embarrassed or kicked off a flight. I've always had seat belt extensions as well. I took my first economy flight in years and fit in the seat and the seat belt actually fastened without an extension. Great feeling!

Have a new one... I had to take a decent work headshot for our internal IM and network. This was after replacing my badge picture two weeks ago. Two weeks ago I got questioned on my costco card not looking at me.

Traveling in a few weeks and just had a panic moment about how much my DL or passport don’t really look a lot like me.


I am overseas at the moment on vacation and when passing though China you have to scan your passport and look into a camera. I was rejected 3 times by the machine. A worker had to come over and verify it was me because i have lost so much weight. They let me right though of course but it did affect my travel in the smallest of ways!

I had one this week too. I went to get my bloodwork done for my follow up next week. Last time I did this it was a tight squeeze to get the arm rest down over my belly. Plenty of room this time! The phlebotomist didn’t really understand my excitement to be in her chair LOL 😂

Yeah, I was planning some upcoming business travel and was offered a cheap upgrade to first class and thought “...but do I NEED it?”

I’ve been on two flights post-surgery where I’ve been in the middle seat and it’s been...well, maybe not comfortable, but not horrible, either.

I started measuring myself because the scale will stall and I don't want that to be how I measure success. I started measuring two weeks ago and have lost 9 inches total since then.

This past weekend my wife and I went to the movies. I was so nervous because I reserved the "cuddling" seats. The last time I did that years ago my wife was pressed up in that chair like it was a clown car. I was so big. This time, room to spare and lots of cuddles!

      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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
