Cute idea, and probably a great motivator for the dreaded stall!

I havent done one yet but I have been wanting to, just gotta find and print out a bunch of old pictures, I still have my hospital Bracelet, that might be pretty cool to put in it.

I never thought of doing it. That's a great idea though! I have surgery in a few weeks so it's something I should start!

There was an artist that did this just recently. She weighed about 320lbs and lost half of her body weight, and took lots of pictures, mostly nudes and stuff. It was eye-opening. It was uplifting and disheartening at the same time. These were the first real photos I have seen of the dreaded extra-skin, and I am still not over it.

That being said, I hope to document my loss along the way- just maybe with clothes on! :ph34r:

She did them in fitting rooms - she’s a student and the pictures were pretty basic

I’m a photographer and there is more than one way to skin a cat -

you can tripod your camera and put it on a timer - or get a cordless remote (i use those for the real little kids when I’m on the floor all the time)

I plan to journal once a week - I probably should start soon as I’m on my 6 month mandatory diet thingy and have lost 10 already...

good luck 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!
