Pictures are good to fall back on. We all have our down times where we easily get off track. I think by looking back at progress we lift ourselves up. I plan to take picture monthly. I hate having my pictures taken and I have hardly any of myself from the past 5 years. As I go through my journey, I want to be able to look at these pics and see a difference. I want a reminder that it takes time and hard work to get where I want to be and that I don't want to be back in this position EVER AGAIN!

I have always anytime i get on an diet/exercise kick taken pics... it grosses me out at first to look at the first set... BUT when you take the next a month later and can put them side by side and see the difference it gives you the motivation to keep going! I took a set front back and both sides 2 1/2 weeks pre op and then took another set a month later which was exactly two weeks post op... i have lost 16lbs altogether at this point... I am stoked about the 16lbs and when I looked at the pictures side by side... I could see it melting off! But the key is to take your pictures with the same clothes on.... i managed to squeeze into my swim suit from 5 or 6 years ago when I was about 50 to 60lbs lighter.... but with having the same thing on i can see the small changes that are occuring that I wont be able to see if i had something else on... I truely believe that pictures can help to push and motivate a person to get to that desired goal! I say you should go for it... it will make you feel better in the end!!! Good luck to you on your journey!!:D

I was going to post my before/after pics but can't figure out how to do it. Does anyone know? I have jpeg files.

Even though i dont like to take pictures i take one picture a month. nothing fancy just a plain stand up shot to put in my progress book. amazing how your body changes. i had plateud for about 4 weeks but my body composition was changing. pants fit differently and such. they may not be the most pleasant thing to do, but i use them for incentive to keep going. I am enjoying smaller clothes, no achy joints and compliments.

Everyone have a great weekend!:D

I took a few before my pre-op diet. Not to remember where I was, but to see how far I have come.

      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!
