I was in need of some encouragement this morning.



Recommended Posts

I was in need of some encouragement this morning so I found a pic I had taken several years ago that I actually thought looked. Then I had my wife take a pic this A.M. at about the same angle. Man did I get the encouragement I was looking for! What I journey it has been so far. I am half way there! Take a look at what I saw this morning!

The first pic is the one I thought looked good, followed by this mornings picture.

I have to laugh at the old me. Or maybe its the newish me that makes me giddy. Not sure but what the heck I am loving it!:cursing::blushing::smile::couch2::smile::smile2:

You look great!! You have a lot of reasons to be giddy; look how far you've come. You can definitely tell that you've dropped weight. Pictures are always a great way to really see the improvement that you've made. Congrats and keep on pushing!

Congratulations. I should do something like this as its been 2.5 yrs now for me and -140 lbs and with another 60 lbs to go, I tend to pick at my flaws and lack of fast progress now as compared to remembering the original me picture!

The first one was a great pic, but # 2 should show you exactly how much you have accomplished! People like you encourage me so much. That you so much for sharing your progress with your Lap Band family

      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!
