Buying clothes that aren’t in the plus size section or not buying the biggest size the store has and hoping it fits lol. This is the first time I’ve ever been able to wear a boyfriends clothing item and not have it be too small. Just cute and baggy. I love it!

Our staff was eating lunch outside today at some picnic tables. Most are overweight. Two of us who are normal size were sitting at one bench and when a late staffer came, the immediate consensus was for the "skinny" ones to move over and make room. Ha!!!!!! I was one of the "skinny" ones!!!!! It is just sooooo weird getting used to this new classification of body size. Surreal, actually. All my life I have looked at "skinnies" from the fatty vantage point - sometimes with envy and mostly with sadness that I was not one of them. Now I am looking from the opposite view and it is just so different, especially since I still think of myself as fat in my mind, but others see me now as skinny, and maybe with envy, resentment or sadness. It is going to take some time for this to all sink in.

My 80year old aunt at a wedding asking me if I was okay. She said she has never seen me so thin. In total 63lbs in 4.5 months I had a tough first 2 months post open. I am under 20lbs to get to Normal at BMI wt range. Love this decision.....

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
