Learning to be this size...

What holster are you using for your C.H.? I just applied for my license here in TX and should have it in a couple weeks. I am going to carry a compact 9mm. I was just worried about finding a holster that would work practically for a large guy. Where do you usually conceal?

This is the last topic I thought I would find here on LBT! Glad you brought it up!

Sorry it took so long for the response. I was out of state for a week. I just used a basic belt holster that was nothing special. Wore long enough shirts to cover it. I carried my 1911 45cal. I resigned from law enforcement and moved to Florida and am now in the process of getting my permit down here. I can't wait I miss carrying . :nervous

Hi! Congrats on your great weight loss!!! You have really done great. I know how you feel tho. I went to a xmas dance last night and everyone told me i looked great, but i could not believe it was me they were talking about. Donna

The surprise photo seems to be helping me a bit. This was taken today by someone else, and when I first looked at it I didn't even realize that was me in the pic. Obviously I still have the fat-boy-garish-shirt issue to work through, but that guy in the photo almost looks like a normal dude.

Sorry for the huge size, this machine doesn't seem to have any photo edit software on it. Will fix it later

Man... Which one of those is you car??? Does yours have one of those little black ponies on a yellow background??? They tend to be a bit of a Zippy little car!:P:car::P:car::purplebananna::car::bananajump::car::Banane20::car:

Chris NJ,

Your weight loss ticker is awsome - how did you loose so much weight since May??

I was banded on 10-25-07 and have only lost 30lbs since then. Overall 55lbs, I lost 25 on my own before the surgery.

Thanks ! Your doing great yourself. Just follow the band rules. Eat healthy and exercise and it will come off quick. It has slowed down a bit for me but still coming off. I guess the less you need to lose the slower it will come off. I will be posting new pics soon to show progress.

Just after my first week, I have already STOPPED, going to the closet, grabbing a t-shirt ( 3 or 4 xl), putting my arms through the sleeves, STRETCHING it wider, then putting it on.

Cheers

      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!
