Before and after photos....



Recommended Posts

I still have another 30-35 pounds to lose, but it's my most recent "before and after"

228 pounds lost (so far). The before pic was the day of my surgery 20 months ago. The after pic is my daughter and I both in the pants from the before pic.

That is AMAZING!!! You are such an inspiration!! How fast did your weight come off in the beginning? I am losing but some days I get discouraged and just want to cry. It's almost like I feel like i will be stuck at 190 for ever. But seeing before and after pictures like yours really helps motivate me and gives me hope and encouragement! :-) maybe one day i will be able to post some good before/after photos!

At the beginning it came off really fast- but when you're starting over 400 pounds the weight does come off a lot faster.

Now that I'm down into the 100's, I'm lucky to lose 5-8 pounds a month.

Don't ever give up. It just takes a lot longer the smaller you get.

I'm barely in the 100's but it is a good feeling, almost a relief! I have to keep reminding myself of how far I've come & not how much longer i have to go because I get frustrated! But I'm going to just keep swimming lol

How long do you have to go? The rest of your life, it's your journey, not a destination.

Trying to enjoy the journey, and not become stuck, that's my goal. The people here are here whenever I need to push past or be inspired. Grateful .

Yay for you! I can't wait to be in the 100s. I've got 20 pounds to go - but closer than I was 3 weeks ago when I had surgery weighing in at 240.

Missy - you look so good! That's how you can tell that this is hard work and you've done so good! And your daughter is a cutey pie ;)

Congrats to everyone ;)

      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!
