My 3 month photo made me cry



Recommended Posts

Ok so my husband was going through his photos in his phone today and came across these old pictures of me and I swear I never looked that way. I was sleeved on November 8th. Pre sleeve I was approved at 272 lbs.. Went into surgery 8 lbs less. Today I weigh 219. I don't know who that person was. I hope I never have to remember.

I completely understand. I once wrote on here...I want to cry for her...that girl I see in the pictures....the old me...I feel so sad for her. I can see all the pain in her eyes. She feels like she trapped in a prison, which is in fact her own body.

I thank god every day for my new start in life!

Congrats on your weight loss. I know where you're coming from. When I was at my heaviest, I could look in the mirror and know that the image I saw wasn't the real me and I wasn't suppose to look that way.

I hate it. The old pictures that is. I look at that and think what was I thinking that I looked good? Thank God that my husband never thought that. He has always told me the complete opposite it fact. Luv him.

Congratulations on your weightloss so far. You look amazing. I know exactly how you feel about seeing the woman that you once were. I keep telling myself that I am striping layers off of me everytime my weight goes down. We are all healthy people stuck in a fat suit and we finaly got the zipper oiled to take it off.

Holy crap, maybe I'm just really tired, but this made me tear up. Is that how I'm gonna see myself? Man. That's powerful stuff right there.

I've deleted all "fat" photos for so long, I'll be lucky to find much in before photos.

That is how I feel. I was so depressed, and sad all the time. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything because I was so embarrassed by my weight. There wasn't a minute that would go by that I wasn't thinking about it. Thankfully I am starting to finally be freed from my prison body! :)

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
