Here are my midway pics.

The ones in my purple shirt are from last August before I started my program.

Gastric sleeve was 12/23/2013

The pics in my brown top and black pants are from my halfway point at minus 49 pounds / 51 to go,

Taken on 2/23/2014, exactly two months post op.

Belly is still resisting, although 3" smaller, but you can tell that my face, arms, and chest and thighs are smaller

And I am starting to get ribs and a waist.

The wedding picture shows you how thin I was in 1970 (108 pounds on my wedding day).

Look at those too thin bony arms! My goal weight is 135.post-182976-0-25861100-1393181461_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-34453700-1393181477_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-88068700-1393181502_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-77664800-1393181518_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-63122300-1393181550_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-71011300-1393181570_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-59413900-1393181589_thumb.jpg post-182976-0-69164900-1393181615_thumb.jpg

I carry a lot of my weight in my middle. Sadly, the core is the last place to lose. Still and all, you can tell you have lost quite a bit! Your mid-section will shrink too you are only a few months post op. Nice job... keep up the good work. You are going to be ready for summer soon.

Miss Mac, you are looking terrific. you can certainly see your weight loss in your face and arms and you are much smaller in the middle. Like the previous poster said, losing in the core area takes so much longer. Women were made to hold their weight in that area to aid in child bearing so you can't fight nature. Keep on doing what you are doing and you will soon notice even larger changes. Thanks for sharing.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
