Whether you post that pic here or not, make sure you take the pic so you can have a visual of your progress.

For example, here is a pic of me 2 weeks PO (which was 50 pounds below my HW) and a pic from the other day.
Honestly I felt like I was looking pretty good in the “before” pic because I was already so much lower.
The difference between the 2 pics is another 55 pounds is gone.

I agree, those shoes are so cute. You look great. I bet that shirt would fit you great in a medium.

Happy Sunday everyone. I’m just headed to town for an AA meeting. I’m a firm believer we need to educate new coming bariatric patients of the addiction transfer possibilities. My now diagnosed PTSD from all my complications, and the transfer addiction, sure didn’t help. But now I’m on the right path, 2.5 years and going strong. Have a great day ladies.

I’m meeting a friend for breakfast/coffee, making art, and then doing a major clothing purge. So casual all the way today.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
