The difference in a year...



Recommended Posts

Exactly one year ago, I was at my heaviest weight. I have no idea why no one ever told me I was that huge, but I don't think I even saw it myself. While I'm embarrassed to post this, I've never been prouder of myself. I began taking my health seriously in June and have lost 90 pounds since the photo on the left. I'm not yet at my goal but being able to compare two photos taken on the same day, just a year apart, gives me the motivation to keep going. Looking forward to what 2016 has in store :)

I was sleeved June 15th 2015. The photo on the left is Dec 30th 2014 and the right is Dec 30th 2015. I still have a long way to go but I have never been happier nor have I ever been healthier. I have so much more will power to eat better and exercise more. I even enjoy exercising! If you told me I would enjoy that last year, I'd look at you like you were crazy. Unfortunately, I don't see much of a difference from these 2 photos. I'm experiencing a severe case of body dysmorphia where I still see the 288 pound girl but I know it will get better with time. 1zz0gz.jpg

I'm glad you mentioned the whole body dysmorphia thing because I to have been going through that. I use to buy 2xl shirts and pants because I prefer my clothes baggy and purchased a xl the other day that kept falling off of me. The only way I can tell that I've lost weight is by how my clothes fit.

You look great!! Best of luck to you and your journey.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
