Wedding rings - what to do?

I kept buying inexpensive bands which I had to replace nearly every month. I have now had my rings resized by the jewellers and they fit great. Glad to have them back in my finger.

Anybody else remember when you were going steady, you wrapped angora yarn about his class ring so you could wear it? OMG I feel so old remembering that!

As a child when ring issues came up we just wrapped tape around it. Any kind...[emoji304]
Sticky tape fixes everything.

I can understand. I wear mine on my middle finger. I feel naked and anxious without it.
Me too, not having wedding rings on is like forgetting my glasses and then walk g around squinting all day. It just doesn't feel right.

Need a bit of advice re: my engagement and wedding rings.

I'm now thinner than when I married my lovely hubs twenty years ago and my rings are getting too loose. They're bugging me coz they swivel all the time and I'm scared of losing them.

I'm loathe to take them off but there's no point getting them adjusted yet - I don't even know if they can be adjusted.

Did this happen to anyone else? What did you do?

of course you can have it adjusted my friend.

you can go to the store where you bought the ring and inquire about it.

Just had mine adjusted.

I had mine resized about 9 months ago when I got so fat; now they're already loose, so I know I'll have to resize them again when I meet my goal weight because I want to wear them but I don't want them falling off.

And if you are truly cheap like me you go to Wal-Mart and buy a little package of plastic ring sizers which cost about $2,98 in the jewelry department, that's what I did, got one on my left hand holding my rings in place. Since they're plastic you can wash your hands with them in place and do anything you usually use your hands for.

They can put on a ring guard - not expensive

I stopped wearing mine for about 6 months and then finally had them resized when I was close to goal. Looks perfect.

I’ve had mine resized three times. Went from a 15 to a 12.5 to a 11 to a 10. I’ll probably have to get it resized one more time. Go ahead and get it resized. I almost lost mine once... far worse feeling than going a few days without it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
