Things I never thought I would say



Recommended Posts

Sure is hard to buy clothes now. ANy where from a 32-36 depending on who makes it. Very true about the belt. They say you should go up a size and have notice it is usally to large. Even notice my feet are smaller also.

I will also add that shopping has become a unique experience. Before the band...I hated it.. I knew nothing would fit right and I would look like a blob. Now I go in a just pick stuff up. I wear a medium shirt now and I am just about in a 34 pants size. I can wear the expandable ones fine, and the regular just about fit, they are just snug, part of the reason is all this EXCESS skin! I would rather have the skin than a HUGE fat belly. And my rearend...being a guy hurts to say this, but sags now. It looks like mini blinds. Don't know how much plastic surgery I will be able to afford, but I am at least getting a Tummy Tuck. I bought a compression shirt at target, size small, wish it was a bit tighter, but anyways, does anyone know where I can buy some cheap white compression shirts. Paying 15-17 dollars a piece is out of my price range, I need 7 in total, that would be like 119 dollars plus tax.

P.S. I also have noticed I lost about a shoe size, bought some flip flops the other day...size 9! Wow, I felt small. I am wearing a size 10.5 or a 10 in dress, tranning, a casual shoes.

Thanks.

      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.

        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.

      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!
