Cute idea, and probably a great motivator for the dreaded stall!

I havent done one yet but I have been wanting to, just gotta find and print out a bunch of old pictures, I still have my hospital Bracelet, that might be pretty cool to put in it.

I never thought of doing it. That's a great idea though! I have surgery in a few weeks so it's something I should start!

There was an artist that did this just recently. She weighed about 320lbs and lost half of her body weight, and took lots of pictures, mostly nudes and stuff. It was eye-opening. It was uplifting and disheartening at the same time. These were the first real photos I have seen of the dreaded extra-skin, and I am still not over it.

That being said, I hope to document my loss along the way- just maybe with clothes on! :ph34r:

She did them in fitting rooms - she’s a student and the pictures were pretty basic

I’m a photographer and there is more than one way to skin a cat -

you can tripod your camera and put it on a timer - or get a cordless remote (i use those for the real little kids when I’m on the floor all the time)

I plan to journal once a week - I probably should start soon as I’m on my 6 month mandatory diet thingy and have lost 10 already...

good luck to everyone.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
