I hit 199 today!!!!! I'm so excited! Its the first time the scale has started with a ONE since probably feshman year of highschool! I don't have too many good shots of me, I'll try to take a better one when I get a new camera, these will do for now though. First pic is about a month before surgery, probably about 227, second pic is on 4th of July, probably about 203.

I hit my "first" goal of 180 pounds last week and posted some pictures on another thread, but I am becoming addicted to posting pictures :ihih:, so thought I would post here as well :seeya:. It makes me feel so positive about everything when I come to this thread and see everyone's progress!!!!

Blue Blouse - around 350 pounds

Yellowish Blouse - one month before surgery - around 300 pounds

last two pictures - taken last week at 178.8 pounds!!

Ok, I haven't posted pics before because my progress has been slow, but I can finally see a bit of a difference in my face.

Before at 275lb:

Now at 220lb (orange shirt is my "high visibility construction worker" uniform that I have to wear at work, else you wouldn't catch me dead in that colour!):

My hubby took some pictures of me today. Thought I'd share my favorite one. Before was February 2008 at 303 pounds. Today I'm 225. That's a 78 pound difference. I love my band!

You all look so amazing!! This thread is soooo inspirational. I haven't lost much weight--34 lbs, but I have decided to post some pics anyway. I am not sure if I can see much of a difference...but then again my weight has gone up and down so many times, I am convinced my body image is totally warped!!!

Here are some face pics:

And here are two body pics, although the second isn't the greatest:

Hi everybody:

I'm not afraid to wear stripes anymore! What an amazing year it's been. I had surgery on 7/26/07. The updated pics are from 7/26/08. Missed my goal of -150 by my bandiversary, but I did lose 142 since 4/23/07 (didn't update ticker yet).

Since 4/23/07 I've gone from 324 to 182 pounds, size 26/28 pants and 3x tops, to loose 14 pants and size Medium shirts. I've gone from a very inactive, sedentary lifestyle to a physical and active lifestyle. I feel great!

I love, love, love my band and I feel 20 years younger!:)

Best wishes to all of you. I'll see you at goal - 23 pounds to go!

Sue

      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!
