how do I put 2 pics side by side?

1. If you have MS Word or Apple Pages, open one of them.

2. Set your page to LANDSCAPE.

3. (Optional) Choose a coloured background.

4. Drag photos from the file manager onto the WORD page or PAGES page.

5. Using only a single corner of each photo resize each to fit an appropriate height and width. (Trying to get them all the same height is usually best.)

6. Add any appropriate text.

7. Save your document.

8. (Optionally) take a screen shot of it.

9. Upload to Bariatric Pal.

HERE'S THE ONE I MADE ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO BEFORE SURGERY.

Surgery Was on 10/03, down 25.6 lbs. Weight loss slowed this week, but I am losing inches. I feel great. Red meat doesn't sit well with me nor does cheating by trying to sample bad choices, so yep...I stopped that nonsense. I finally got a small hunger feeling this week, but no cravings. I didn't see a difference, but others notice. So, I took a photo today and put it side by side with a before VSG pic and it is insane to see the face behind the extra lbs. How are you all doing? #wecandoit

Wow, those are amazing results for such a short period of time. You look amazing! You were beautiful before, but the weight-loss agrees with you. You look even better.

Surgery was 10/16, down 16 lbs from surgery date. Feeling great! First day back at work, and found out that my slacks I wore pre-surgery are not possible to fit in now. Have to go shopping tonight for a few pair to hold me over for a few weeks. It's good to be able to see and feel the difference, even in a short time. Almost 70lbs down from my highest weight.

You look terrific! Congratulations! I hope to have similar results. I have a wardrobe of sizes, but I am going to buy some new things each time I go down anyway.

Enjoy your successes as they come!

Mine was today at that same time as well! I was first on the docket at my hospital! Can’t believe after months of waiting and anticipating; it’s over now!

Good luck! [emoji56]

So to start a FB group, even a Secret group, you need to be FB friends with the person starting the group. If anyone wants to , please message me and I will get one started.

You can then adjust your settings if you do not want your sleever FB friends to see all your FB stuff.

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on 10/10. I had a follow up appointment yesterday and I'm down 37 pounds from surgery date. I feel amazing. I'm can't drink my Protein Shakes because they are all so sweet. But I'm drinking high Protein milk and eating fat free refried Beans along with lots of fat free cottage cheese. This has been the best decision of my life. I hope all you October Sleevers are seeing some positive change!!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
