Ouch! Well, you can blame him for the genes he passed along that determine your body shape...I don't think it is possible to change that...won't matter how much weight I lose, I will always be more pear than apple

:) my dad will not eat anything if there is no butter in it.. and will always have a bar of chocolate with him.. and he lost 6#s in 2 weeks last time he came to visit coz there were no chocolates in my fridge.. :o

my mom.. she just has to look at food.. and up the scale goes.. i keep saying.. i got my mom's body.. and my dad's taste buds.. thank god they don't have another daughter.. she would have been perfect.. and i would have to deal with a lot of nagging.. :P

When my sister was fat she looked like the before picture at her weight of 220 pounds.. She looked AWESOME. She had a flat tummy, cute belly button,full legs with perfect non-cellulite contours, a bootylicious behind and tiny waist.. She could have been a plus size model... Now that she's 155 she STILL LOOKS AWESOME... Me,. I've had cottage cheese thighs and a low hanging pannus since I was 11..... I have NEVER EVER seen my belly button... I'd KILL to look like the before picture!

I have never been thin. I was chunky through grade school and in the high 100's when I graduated high school. That's the last time I remember Onederland. Getting to "overweight" from "morbidly obese" will be a thrill, let alone getting to "normal"! I'm just over 2 months out, down to 257 from 305 (including 2 week pre-op diet). I can't wait to see what the rest if this year brings!!

I love this site but it does have its limitations. For example, the model only goes so large, and only so small. There seems to be no different if I make my goal weight 125 pounds or 115 pounds. I'm genunly curious what I would look like if I weighed 115 but have no way of knowing. Not a big deal though, just saying.

Grace, you can try mybodygallery.com . It shows real pictures of women at different weights. You just type in height, body type and weight and it shows you real women. I love the site and have even submitted my own pics at several different weights.

Ha I wish I looked as good as your "before"

Is there anyway we can age those and add some lumps and bumps cellulite, age spots and cankles :P

Haha! That was what I was thinking. If I had EVER looked like ANY of those "befores" with smooth skin and fat evenly distributed around my body (not lumpy and bulging) then maybe I would have decided to be a BBW forever and forget about surgery! :D

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
