Before Pictures



Recommended Posts

Lot of us probably are already planning on doing this, but don't forget to take some good front/side/back pictures. Surely we all dread photographs of our fatasses, but I'm pretty sure we'll all be happy when we're down 100 lbs and can post side-by-side comparisons.

I'm going to have my husband take some of me tonight.

Wooo, I'm so excited!

No, not stupid. I'm cringing at the thought of my husband taking my pictures tonight. I haven't been fully naked in front of him in years. Mind you, my before pictures won't be of me in the nude, lol, but I will have to wear some clothing that is tight that accentuates my rolls and my low hanging gunt. Eeek!

I'd never post these pictures, even here, without another picture right next to it, with me looking fabulous.

I took photos but they were all clothed. I don't want to see myself naked and I sure as hell don't want anyone else to - yuck!

Yeah, I meant clothed pictures, lol. Why did you all assume otherwise? Ha ha, Pervs. ;)

We took those pictures last night (with tight clothing, not nekkid). I also took all my measurements, and I've entered them into a handy Excel spreadsheet.

I figure we'll take pictures monthly, to see how I'm progressing.

Yet another step in getting ready for our surgery, guys!

I used a mirror and took them myself. I'm sure DH would have done it, but it just makes my fatness too real for me.:o

I could just use one I have of me and my horse, but then I would have to explain which was which.

:P

Empty nest you are too funny. You all are brave I would never had taken before pictures. The image is burned in my brain forever. But good for you if you do it. I had a friend that did it every two weeks wearing the same clother standing in the same place and you could really tell a difference.

Looking forward to seeing your after photos!!

I'm going to do before pics (clothed)and post one in the bathroom so I can see it every morning to remind me of what I don't want to go back to. I'm also going to carry one with me at all times..

Oh, NO WAY, are my pics going to be nude either, I was just saying that despite him seeing me that way (ick), I couldn't bear him taking pics of me in my stretchy pants and t-shirt as a "before" - - - heavens NO will there be "necked" pics of me EVER - geesh!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
