I've been looking at all your incredible before and after photos and it is breathtaking. You all look at least ten years younger ! - I wanted to ask you all something - when i look at your photos I'm looking at them without knowing you at all so I see them without bias. I'm wondering when you look at your "after" photos do you really see the full difference in yourselves ? what I mean is, are they as startling to you as they are to me ?

The last week has been a turning point to me- I'm finally realizing that I'm genuinely petite (I'm 4'11). I'm wearing between a 6-10 depending on the brand and a small-medium top. It's crazy for me to think of myself as normal- I've never been normal, much less on the smaller side of average- heck I was almost a 10lb baby! But I'm finally realizing that my huge gut is really tiny in proportion, and my thighs are actually pretty darn good looking legs.

When I look at my pictures I wonder "is that really me?" I see an incredible difference in pictures. But sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see myself 85 pounds ago. It's a fight to remind myself I'm not that girl anymore.

Leslie...

For me it is not only startling it is equally devastating. I didn't even realize the real difference until I put the 2 pics side by side.

Its like you look at yourself every day in the mirror so you see some changes but not really. I still see a huge person in the mirror even though I have lost what I have. My mind has not yet caught up with my body.

A a current photo (I am not done yet' date=' still in progress). The horse I am riding is on the smaller side compared to what I am used to.

My before photo is of me just standing. I will be honest, it is hard for me to look at that photo, but it is a good reminder of where I never want to go again.[/quote']

      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!!
