One Year After Revision--Headless Photos



Recommended Posts

(Headless, because I'm waiting for my stalker dude to DIE before I put my photos anywhere he can see them. He's even older than I am. This may not take forever. LOL)

Also, remember that revision patients usually have a slower rate of loss and even a lesser total loss than first-time patients...so I'm still "a ways" from where I want to be.

Photo on the left is three years AFTER banding and the day before my band removal and revision to the DS. Photo on the right is one year AFTER the DS. Let's see if I can do this:

Wow, you look great!

Also, I just figured out that the little smiley at the bottom of your posts has a whip. My mind went somewhere else when I saw it, especially when it says, "25 grams of Protein in less than 3 ounces.":o

You look fab, 30 more pounds? I can see maybe 10 or 15 but 30? unless you are hiding your weight in your head? Is that why you really hide it?LOL You look great as is...~Mandy

Thanks, Ladies.

Yes, Mr. Sue likes that I feel like I used to feel...except it scares him, too. He keeps waking up thinking he went to bed with someone other than his wife and that he's about to be in BIG trouble.

About the weight. My BMI is just under 33. I really am a big-boned girl--size 8 wedding ring right after Basic Training--not a lot of fat at that time in my life, but still BIG. I am currently about 45 pounds over my weight at the end of Basic Training. I'm older and probably a little shorter. Losing 30 more would put me at the middle of the overweight category. I think that's an ideal place for me at this stage of my life.

And besides, that sweater is hiding a lot of tummy!! LOL But, thanks for the kind words.

Amazing transformation Sue, even without being able to see your face, you look a lot younger, and you've got a lovely set of collarbones there.

Thanks...and we used to live in Kitzingen...not far from you, I guess. We visited a couple of years ago, but our whole street was gone and new develpoment had taken over.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        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!!
