Can you spot the odd man out? Yes thats right. Anyone who said it is Dwi (front left) is right. Dwi no longer works at Wotzgnu Creative Designs

But seriously these are the first photos that I have voluntarily been in for over 10 years. Losing 40 lbs has boosted my self confidence and helped me join in where previously I would have sat on the sidelines watching.

Today I went quad bike riding and swimming in full view of others -AND IT WAS FUN!!!!!!

I have a long way to go still but each day it gets easier to be active and easier to be positive about the changes taking place in my life.

A note to EVERY bandster - Dont give up - there is a life out there that you can enjoy so go and grab it with both hands and tell it you have arrived and that you are in charge - forever.

It must be great to say you were happy to be in a picture for the first time in a long time. I can't WAIT until I feel comfortable enough to say, hey get a picture of us!! Like the poster before me, I would love to have a family Christmas picture but I just haven't had the nerve yet. I'm hoping 2011 is my year, too. Keep up the great work and CONGRATULATIONS, you've dong a great job and jumped another hurdle!! :rolleyes:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
