    Default Can we put a Sticky of before/after photos? Or am I missing something?

    I thought with the title of this sub-forum, there would already be one. Can we start one? I find it inspirational for us soon-to-be or newly sleeved amigos. :-)

    I agree. It's very inspirational for me to see the hard work that we all have done -or about to do- on this journey to a healthier life.

    When you go on your profile "my profile" you will see the before and after link. You can post your photos here and they will show on the front page of the website as well, bottom right.
    Take care!

    Cool thanks! Please forgive my ignorance on this because I'm new to this forum. But when we add those photos, does it also add them to a sticky thread on that page? It seems like it would be easier for everyone to just post there instead of us having to go to everyone's profile page to see their individual results.

    sorry again for any confusion.

    On the bottom right of the website it says before and after photos. They post there. But you are right, this site can be tricky to navigate sometimes. It could be a little more user friendly than it is.

    It would be great to have one dedicated to before after photos.

    I had the sleeve the same day as you...this is day three for me (waking up in my own bed) stayed overnight the day of the surgery.
    I'm already dreaming of the day I can eat a soft boiled egg and melba toast. Hope you're doing well. so far not as bad as I thought it would be.

    And once you get to eat food you'll be shocked to learn how little you can eat. Make sure you eat very slow because you're going to fill up on 2-3 bites. And if you get too much it's very uncomfortable. I've done it a few times. I learned pretty quickly that is not a feeling I want to feel.
