Well I must have been absent the day they taught that at fat guy school....cause I surprised myself with this selfie.....I was sweaty as hell from just running 5 miles and I was right in the middle of drinking from my camelbak (yep....a straw!). I told myself to delete that picture cause I'm pretty sure it made me look fat and older than 21....but too late....I already posted it to the world.

I always wonder about updating pics!

I get used to seeing pictures that's how I recognize a poster half the time by pic not name per se... I know bad but hey :)

Well then you guys put new ones up and I get all confused! Do I know this person? The name is familiar but they look different??

I guess that's why I've kept mine the same even though it was from many months and pounds ago...

This thread reminds me of a great thread started many months ago about how the closer to goal someone gets, the wider the shot on their picture. New people always had extreme close ups and people at goal tended to have full body pics.

I kinda like it Laura. You look good in both, but you were smiling in the old one. wish there was some kind of way to have a composite profile pic (then vs. now) or (face vs full body)

Yes like that. Only they would be too teensy to see when on the site or heaven forbid, on the mobile app.

Laura and Butters, is that really you?? I've been a member since August and until i saw these pictures, really didn't know much about your starting points. Y'all have always been slender to me, but these pics are proof that it wasn't always these case.

Butter, were you a bouncer in your former life?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
