Oh yeah... I can totally see the difference. Your stomach went down, and you look much more narrow. I also have a hard time seeing the difference, so I always take pictures, when I look at the picture I notice the difference instantly. Best of luck to you.

I can definitely see a difference too! Looking at your picture before surgery (wearing black) vs. your after picture in pink, you abdominal area shrunk big time and your waist is much more defined now, even though lighter colors usually make us look bigger.

I know how you feel about not seeing a difference but pictures definitely help and wearing old clothes (nice move!). I'm an August baby too, BTW! ;) Wishing you a great journey as you get to goal and maintain your accomplishment in health and happiness.

Hi there I feel the exact same way!! I had mine 6/6 so I'm just about the same as you and at 60lbs loss. People come up to me all the time and say omg wow you look great and I just don't see it at all. I have looked at before and after pics and still see the same person with no changes. I was warned about this and heard that it can take some time. Hang in there bc you look great!!

I feel the same way! I am really unable to take pride in the work that I have done so far, simply because I am not able to see it!!

I went shopping for a dress: SIZE 2X from a 4X!! To me I looked no different; but my husband told something that is very true!! He said I am looking at what I have LEFT to lose, instead of what I ALREADY lost...And that's maybe why I can't see the change :(

It takes time to get use to. I am 4 months out and have lost 90 lbs and sometimes still think I am fat. Keep one pair of your old clothes and try them on once a month. It helped 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.

        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!
