November Nymphs Pictures



Recommended Posts

I thought it would be fun to post progress pictures. I see the pictures of me now and still think that I look so fat but compared to my before picture I look so much better.

The first picture is 12.24.07 which is one month and four days after surgery. The second is today.

I am having trouble resizing. If TXArcher checks in I know he can help me.

Hi Skinny Jill!

You look fabulous! I see the difference. I know what you mean because I still don't see it either but I do see it in sizes. I am going to try to post pictures of myself but may need TXArcher's help to.

Skinny Jill-

How did you resize your pictures to get them smaller? I would love to post mine but the darn things are way to big.

Cindy

I used Microsoft Office Picture Manager and in the Picture menu there is a resize option. I played with it until I got it to work.

Hey... I am checkin' in, but it looks like it is too late. Good job on your progress. Isn't it AMAZING what our bodies are doing. Consuming all this fat hanging on to us!

I posted these pics in the B&A thread but I will post again here. Today is my 4 month mark and I will try to get some other pics taken today and get them up to commemorate the 1/3yr. point

Black shirt is just this month. All dressed up for family portraits. (and then a date!)

White shirt is spring '07 about 375 or so...

The little tigger picture is this past Halloween. I was right at 400 at Halloween. :)

My wife just made a good point. She said "so, you were 400 at Halloween and 328 by Easter!" That kinda puts it into a different perspective.

I just downloaded the Windows XP power toys image resizing utility. It embeds itself into XP and all you have to do is right click on any image file and one of the options on the flyout menu is Resize Image. It gives you the options of small, medium, and large format as well as a format for making things like Avatars out of any image. That is a good thing to have for all of us forum junkies!

Here is the link to the microsoft site for the download.

These are my before pictures and one after where I have lost 60lbs. I am at 88lbs lost now and will post another picture when I get batteries for camera but for now. These are it. I am so shocked at how fat I was....what a difference 5 months makes.

I just can't seem to understand how to post pics. I've read the directions, but I just can't seem to get it right. Do I copy and paste the pics from the file on my computer or do I go to shutterfly where I have pics stored and copy?:thumbup:

When you want to post a picture you click on reply then scroll down to Manage Attachments. A new window opens, so you click on browse. When you find the picture you want you click on it then click on upload. You then close that window and submit your message. The photos should be in that message. Good luck.

Before photos taken on 31 Oct 2007 and the after photos were taken on 27 January 2008. Haven't lost much since. Not quite there yet but I can see a difference.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
