Something fun starting just prior to surgery!



Recommended Posts

I read this three years ago, just a couple of months prior to my surgery. (June 11, 2010) I hope some of you will do it, you'll be glad 12 months after you start on your new adventure!!!

Go to Wal Mart or wherever and buy a disposable camera. It has to be disposable, not digital.....have someone take your picture the day of surgery. (or the night before) Every month on that date, have your picture taken. After your ONE YEAR surgiversary, take the camera and have the film developed.

Actually laying out, side by side, those twelve pictures, wow, there is NOTHING like actually seeing your transformation right there in front of you!!! Do it, you won't believe how your body and your life, change in 12 months!!!!

Good luck!

I could be wrong... But I think the idea is to have a nice surprise after a year out...

Y'all are welcome!! You'll love it....YES, it is a nice surprise and to get the full affect, you need to be able to lay a REAL picture, thirteen of them, side by side.

With a digital, unless you have one you won't use for anything else and won't give in and look back......then it won't be the same. Never the less, even if you do have a spare camera that you don't need for the next year except for this purpose, you'd need to print the pictures out!!

** I was mistaken, it is THIRTEEN pictures, not twelve at the end of one year **
