My 'Before' Picture



Recommended Posts

I was going through our mission trip pictures this morning and found a great "before" picture of me. I usually avoid the cameras, but I didn't this time. I am printing some of the out as incentives. If I figure out how to post it, I will. the before and after pictures on this site are such an incentive! I think maybe I have to upload it to photobucket or something....

I know what you mean about avoiding the cameras. I don't have any pics of me recently. I am going to have some taken this weekend for my "pre op". I want to wear the same thing each time I take photos.

I have done it finally...I have been putting off my "before" bathing suit pictures, so I went and put my bathing suit on and took the side, front and rear photos. UGGGHHH! Great motivation...

We also did my measurements, which was funny. My DH has a small engine repair business and I am NOT a seamstress so we had to use a tape measure from the shop:laugh: They don't bend really well, but it worked. Someday prior to surgery I'll pick up the right kind!

I'm glad to have it done. i did up a chart that has the 21st of each month for a year and I'm going to try to do my measurements each month on the same day as well as take photo's each month. We'll see how it goes! One week from Friday! All my friends are calling me for "one last dinner or one last lunch" I've been pretty good though. I will do a couple of dinners of my chosing before surgery, but I'm on a mission now, so I will hopefully be good.

      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.

      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!
