Absolutely! I have been in awe of how much everyone changes. I don't think I will be able to really believe the changes unless I have documentation.

I am having my surgery on Wednesday, and I want to take a pic a week until I have lost all my weight. That's my plan, I just hope I can stick to it. Also, Good luck with your surgery.

I took a picture prior to my two week

pre-op. My surgery is next Monday and I will probably take another and then weekly after that!

Best of luck to everybody! Can't wait to see all the pictures! :)

I did not take any pictures specifically for that purpose. I have plenty of unflattering pictures to chose from. BUT what i did do was measure myself!

Measuring is a great idea! I will do that too.

I took photos the other night.. Not for surgery but as before photos for the Insanity program.. And I sit and cried after I looked at them.. But then I wiped away the tears and said never again!!

Oh definitely! I'll be posting my highly unflattering before pics on my blog along with my measurements taken approximately 3 days pre-op, (before leaving for Mi Doctor Hospital in TJ). PLUS. I'll be vlogging the entire of my time spent there for the procedure as to not only capture every little detail in living memory for myself, but will be adding small vlog sized footage to my blog/youtube channel too so that I can help others get a feel for whats to come!

Can't wait to get it all behind me! :D

My husband takes the worst pictures........But yeah, I plan on having pictures taken, even if it takes him an hour or two until he gets it right LOL Since I'm not telling people about the procedure, I'm leary to ask anyone :D

      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!
