Anyone want to post pre op pictures With me, the pictures where were not hiding behind anyone to make us appear thinner. The kind of pictures we would never post on FB. In 35 days I will have my surgery and never look like this again. So here it goes....post-253075-14314389960674_thumb.jpg

My head looks way to small for my body. ;(

I'll join you. This pic was taken several months preop when I gave Beachbody/Shakeology a try. I had to post it to our closed FB group page and it was hard to swallow then and it is still hard to see it. Here it goes....talk about a head looking tiny. :P

Thank you guys for saying I look good. But I feel the same as everyone else here. Would never put a photo like that on FB. I try to behind people and objects to make my body look smaller.

@@KathyLynn160 I have tried Shakeology and Body by Vi and have not personally not had success with either. I feel hungrier sometimes after I drink a shake. I don't always feel that way with them so I do drink them for Breakfast or lunch when I'm in a rush but I have never lost weight while using them.

      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!!
