Looking for inspiration while i heal my leak! Photos?

I have been here in the hospital receiving excellent care for a week. I am doing my very best to remain positive. But I admit I have my moments of regret, primarily because I can't care for my 14 month of daughter. Mind posting some BEFORE AND AFTER photos as a reminder and source of inspiration?

Best,

Sannah

Hey Sannah!!

My oldest daughter gets home from work around three and I will have her show me how to upload a before and after just for you!

Oh what a wonderful road ahead with your precious daughter! You will get through this and heal and you will be so happy with yourself. Your daughter will know her mommy as healthy and active and you will run wild with games and activities from all the gained energy you will have!!!

I can't even dance ( no rythym at all) but my daughters laugh and laugh to see me trying to bust a dance move with them. They tell me I am completely different than before.

Of course you may already be so fun because you sound like a wonderful girl with so much spirit and kindness in her! Can you imagine it? You are going to be fabulous!!!!!

Awe sweetie. Hang in there. I can only imagine how hard this is. But stay positive for both you and that beautiful baby of yours.

I hope your have a very merry Christmas. I know its not ideal just keep reminding yourself your in good hands.

Keep us posted. <3

Don't think that's its only cliche' when others say that "It gets better one day at a time" because it really does.God Bless and I'm wishing you a fast recovery.

Sannah, Sorry I don't have any pic's for you as I just had surgery on the 11th but I want to wish you best of luck in your recovery and I'm sorry it's been such a rough road for you! I know not being able to take care of your child now is rough but you are doing this to be there for her later and later is what she is going to remember, not now. I have a 2 year old so I really do understand. ;) Also, for some easy (if not outdated) before and after pics you can check obesityhelp.com. I look a lot and everytime you go to it there are different pic's right on the main page. Hope you have an ok christmas and remember next year is going to be a whole lot better! Jen

I can sympathize. Stay positive and you will get through this. I spent 38 days in the hospital and home on feeding tube. Each day you will make small strides that add up quickly. I got so tired of hearing it, but it is true. I know your journey is rough.....YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for being so loving and supportive during this very very hard time!!! Words cannot express how thankful I am. Sitting here in room can be challenging at times.
