Recommended Posts

@@Julie norton Ha! Well thank you! I know people like to see things like that. I know I wanted to see it and still do love looking at people's progress pictures, it keeps me motivated when the kids are surrounding me with junk food daily!

@@Elode - I think your Mommy/Sleeved tummy looks great. You should be proud :D

Mine looks nothing like that, unfortunately, but I do like to get some sun on it and get a little color so it doesn't look quite as icky :)

Odd thing is the stretch marks show up more now....well I guess it not too odd the skin is deflated it just never crossed my mind that that would happen.

very true!

Well I say embarrassing but not really. I'm pretty proud of the 90 yr old woman looking belly!! I've been asked a lot about how the stomach looks after losing so much weight....well here's mine. It's not perfect, I never expected it to be so I guess that's why it doesn't bother me to show it. I'm 34, I've had 3 c-sections and 5 wonderful VSG stabbings so to say my body/stomach has been through some trauma is an understatement. It's ok though, when the time comes if I feel I want it fixed then so be it but until then I'm not hiding her from the world anymore. Set goals, strive for excellence but remain realistic and you won't be disappointed. Be proud of what you have/are accomplishing. We can be our own worst critics! PS: There is a C-section roll hiding under those pants, don't be fooled!! :) My pup pup in the background is not impressed but I put him on a diet so...... ;)

Nothing better than the war wounds that come with the knowledge that you have finally lost the weight. Well done

      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!!
