Strange but good



Recommended Posts

This morning I was getting dressed for work (I'm a guy, btw), and I was putting my belt on. It's still dark out as I come in early.

I kept fumbling around trying to poke the metal shaft (does that thing have a name?) into the belt hole. I was actually getting frustrated and had to turn the light on to see what the problem was. Turns out I had it cinched up past the last hole!

It's a small thing but it really made by day. 2 weeks post op, it was the first "real" example of my weight loss.

I guess I need to go buy another belt. :thumbup:

haha I did that just last weekend! I gotta go get a new belt too :thumbup: It's fun to watch it go down one notch at a time.

I love NSV's

Congrats on your first NSV (non scale victory) - that is awesome. The cost of surgery is nothing compared to all the new clothes and belts you will have to buy now. Keep up the good work!:thumbup:

That is exciting!! I stopped wearing belts as my waist in the morning tends to be quite different from my waist in the evening so I wear clothes that give... those don't generally have belts loops.

I look forward to going belt shopping someday!!

Belts were my new fashion accessory when I began this journey. I could wear blouses a lot longer when I cinched the waist (imagine. Me, with a waist!!) with a new belt. Otherwise, I just looked too sloppy for business.

P.S. I have NO idea what the name of the belt buckle pokey-part is; I'm now on a mission to find out.

That is sooo COOL!!!!

Take an ice pick, an old board and poke some more holes in it to be able to wear it longer. Unless of course you REALLY need a new belt!

PS> I don't know the name for the little metal pokey thing either! Asked DH and he has no clue either!

      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!
