Before and After Pics



Recommended Posts

Seeing all of your beautiful transformation pictures make me tear up with glee. You all are so beautiful! Even though I don't personally know ANY of you, I am proud of you, I am cheering you on. It's been very hard for me to accept being over weight. I was VERY fit and athletic all through my teenage years so I was used to being "skinny". Honestly the superficial thing I'm most excited about after I have my surgery in July is being able to have a thinner face. Sounds silly but I can't even stand smiling anymore because I look like a little dumpling.

Thank you guys for empowering me. Your hard work is not going un-noticed.

Hi everyone

I was sleeved on March 16

So I was a month out this past April 16

So far I've lost 23 lbs since surgery

I'm now on soft foods and I'm so glad to be one step closer to regular food. Haven't had any nausea or vomiting only thing is the Constipation which my nutritionist said now eating more normal foods should help. I'm so glad I found this board you have all helped me prior to and after my sleeve.

Here are my pics so far- day prior to surgery and 1 month post oppost-248169-1429408106372_thumb.jpg

Same clothes left is the day I was discharged from the hospital (the lady was my nurse. Everybody thought it was funny how short she is next to me). The right is last month at my 5 month post op. At that point I was down about 90 lbs since surgery. I have dropped another 26lbs since then.

I never did a formal 1 year picture. This is a few months before VSG (date of surg 3/13/14 about 330#), and today (13 months post op) 130 gone. 20 to goal. Would love to have plastics someday..... post-196853-14295038970016_thumb.jpg

5'6. My goal is 175. I keep adjusting it though. Not sure where I'll settle in yet. I'm very pear shaped. Harder to lose on bottom.

Sleeved on March 4th, 2015. The first picture I was about 15 lbs heavier than I was at the start of my 2 week pre op diet. Have lost 30 lbs since surgery.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
