Before Pics: June 2013



Recommended Posts

Hey, June 2013 sleevers! I know some of us have started the pre-op diet, I was just wondering if anyone has taken their before pics yet. Or are you waiting for the day of surgery?

I think I will take mine tonight. (whimper)

Thoughts?

I was just wondering this same thing....I'm going to re-weigh myself today (start pre-op diet today) and i think take pictures too. BUT then also take pics surgery morning, just to document everything. One never knows if they may do a photo collage later lol

I haven't taken any on purpose yet, but I got a couple of doozies recently. I had to go to an event & there was somebody taking photos. They got 2 cringe-worthy shots of me, including one from the rear....and I first saw them on Facebook!!! I was appalled at first, but then I thought what good before pix they would make. In fact, I think I'm going to take after shots from the same angle, just so I can watch my big 'ole butt get smaller. ;) I uploaded them to my profile here already, and now I need to print them out for me to see at home.

I ended up with the same kind of thing. I had been planning to do the "put on workout clothes and stand in front of a white wall" pics....but I just cant bring myself to do it. My bf took some pics of me and my son in Austin this weekend, and I think some will work for a before. None of the big ol' bum, thank the Lord! lol.

Hey fellow sleeve siblings!

Wow. Pics. I usually try to avoid them at all cost. But I think I should take a before pic just to see my progress. Also take measurements for those slow losing periods. My sister is coming to town to take me to the hospital for surgery Tues 06/04. I can have her take one on my phone. I just have to figure out how to get it off my phone to other places (here, photo for fridge, etc.) Tech savvy I am NOT!

I actually went out today and got 15+ inches cut off my hair (donated to locks of love). I feel like I lost 5 lbs. in hair alone!

Best of luck to all "Junies". June 4th is almost here! Nervous and excited!

      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!
