I'm getting down on myself (before and after pics)



Recommended Posts

I have been really at a sort of stand still for a while. I am making a new standard for myself from now on. I didn't sign up for a quick fix! I signed up for a hard yet rewarding road and having your stomach cut from your body is no joke! So why am I treating it as such. Today I have been reflecting and I need to be proud of myself to continue to grow. 100 lbs ago I beat myself up and it didn't get me anywhere so why would that work now. So I am proud of my journey... And the journey has just begun. The road is long... One year feels long but it's no where near the end! No more feeling guilty! post-235541-14299211503651_thumb.jpg post-235541-14299211663379_thumb.jpg post-235541-14299213386182_thumb.jpg

You should be proud of yourself, because you have accomplished something that took effort, perseverance and strength. I hope that you feel as good as you look, because you look marvelous.

You look amazing congratulations on you success so far! Definitely not a quick fix or the magic bullet! We have to be diligent everyday on what and how we eat/drink, and what we do for exercise. Keep up the hard work! This is a lifestyle change not just a way to lose weight. The journey is a process and if you keep to the process, results will come. Good luck on the rest of the journey!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
