6 Month Progress Pics



Recommended Posts

Mac,

Good for you. What an empowering experience. I hope you have great luck finding a new surgeon--one who will listen to you and help to calm your fears. I'm curious. How did the surgeon react when you told him that?

I honestly didn't stick around long enough to look - as soon as I said my peace, I walked out of the exam room, through his lobby and out the door.

All of you who have pictures to post - GREAT job. The only before picture I have is the one in my file at the nutritionist office (and it shall remain hidden). No progress pictures either - I still hate the camera, almost as much as I hate the scale. Neither relationship is better yet - I am sure that will come in time.

Mac - I have really picked up my losses by ensuring that I am getting at least 0.37 grams of Protein times my weight. I had to add a snack to get it, but have lost 3 pounds in each of the last two weeks. I was not sure that I believed in the protein amounts until I have followed it closely these last two weeks.

Continue success to all the VVs!!

Happy long Labor Day weekend.

Okay guys, it's the last day of the month. I need more progress pictures. You can do it! Hell, this is the first and only place I've ever posted a picture of me on the web. I still don't like the way I look but I do like being able to see how much I've changed. Come on, FEED ME! ..... Pictures that is.

Congratulations to all of you who are looking and feeling successful at this band thing! I'm so happy for you! (And yes, it is possible to be jealous and happy at the same time.) =)

Unfortunately, I can't post six-month progress pics because there has been no progress. Sassafrassin Q@)#&^#)(*&@#)*(&@#)(*@

I wish I could fire my asshat of a surgeon but unfortunately, he's the only one my insurance will cover. I really admire you for doing what you did Mac! I am going to act really, really ugly if he doesn't give me a fill when I go back on Sept. 11th. I was hoping this thread was chock-full of success stories because I wanted to print it and take it to him and say, "SEE??? You ultra-conservative on fills IDIOT. People with normal surgeons who give them fills are LOSING WEIGHT!!!!"

Grrrrrrrrr.

So let's see some more progress pictures!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

      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!
