Before surgery I bought a dress for my sons wedding. Size 24. I beat myself up over my weight. I was embarrassed.

I went shopping for my birthday today. Brought me to tears. Here is my new sweater dress. I love the photos everyone has posted of styles they are wearing. I know this is a girly thing..Sorry men..... @@Babbs @Elode. Can I steal your style...I love the cute clothing you both find.

I have two pictures I keep in my office that were taken at our holiday office party. One was taken before I had WLS and the other was taken last year. I keep these pictures somewhat hidden as they are for me more than anyone else. I look at them all the time to remind myself of where I started and where I am now. I'm smiling in both of the pictures but one of them is of a person happy with her accomplishments and the other is someone who was struggling daily with her situation and co-morbidities. I can't even begin to explain how I feel when I see those two pictures though I'm sure many of you understand exactly how I feel. Sorta like our birthday girl. :D

Did you say "sorry men" at some stage in your post?

Apology unnecessary...

I'm guessing there's not a man here who doesn't appreciate pics such as the one you've (or any of the ladies in this forum) posted...

And if there is...

He's got some problems.. :mellow:

Keep up the good work!!!

(Posting pics I mean..)

      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!

        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.
