My 3 month photo made me cry



Recommended Posts

Ok so my husband was going through his photos in his phone today and came across these old pictures of me and I swear I never looked that way. I was sleeved on November 8th. Pre sleeve I was approved at 272 lbs.. Went into surgery 8 lbs less. Today I weigh 219. I don't know who that person was. I hope I never have to remember.

I completely understand. I once wrote on here...I want to cry for her...that girl I see in the pictures....the old me...I feel so sad for her. I can see all the pain in her eyes. She feels like she trapped in a prison, which is in fact her own body.

I thank god every day for my new start in life!

Congrats on your weight loss. I know where you're coming from. When I was at my heaviest, I could look in the mirror and know that the image I saw wasn't the real me and I wasn't suppose to look that way.

I hate it. The old pictures that is. I look at that and think what was I thinking that I looked good? Thank God that my husband never thought that. He has always told me the complete opposite it fact. Luv him.

Congratulations on your weightloss so far. You look amazing. I know exactly how you feel about seeing the woman that you once were. I keep telling myself that I am striping layers off of me everytime my weight goes down. We are all healthy people stuck in a fat suit and we finaly got the zipper oiled to take it off.

Holy crap, maybe I'm just really tired, but this made me tear up. Is that how I'm gonna see myself? Man. That's powerful stuff right there.

I've deleted all "fat" photos for so long, I'll be lucky to find much in before photos.

That is how I feel. I was so depressed, and sad all the time. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything because I was so embarrassed by my weight. There wasn't a minute that would go by that I wasn't thinking about it. Thankfully I am starting to finally be freed from my prison body! :)

      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!
