Oh and by the way... Just because I'm fat doesn't mean that I have a double chin ;-)

Well ok Justin... Let me try and help you out...

Your profile pic right now looks a little round and....Well... Featureless.

I suggest that you turn into the light at a slight angle and tilt your chin down just a touch.

And voila!! :P

Ok, consider it done.

Haha, I'm still trying to figure out how to upload ANY pic/selfie on this app. Can it be done, or only on the actual website?

If you are on the app you should be able too.

At the bottom of your screen you will see an icon that says "more" click that and click on your profile then click on your blank profile pic.

It then should give you the option to take a picture or add one from your library.

Hi Justin!

Over the years I have taken self photos and there is a lot of cropping and moving the camera around, even using props such as the pillow I am placing my double chin on to get the right pic haha! So I would say there is a ART to getting the right picture before I decide its a good enough picture to share, I don't know how many times I have heard " you have a pretty face, if you lost some weight you would be really pretty!" Ughzzzz my surgery is in 13 days and I can't wait to be " really pretty" lmao! Yes, I know I am already pretty, I just want my body to not hurt so much for my age, have a great day!

So I don't think there's anything wrong with this' date=' but I can't help but notice that the profile pics for almost everyone (especially the ladies on here) make everyone look like they are about 21 years old and not a single pound overweight.

Even people that haven't had any surgery or lost any weight, the pic of their smiling face appears to be that of a 21 year old who is not overweight in the slightest. Do people just post pics that are from before they gained weight? Pics from when they were 21? Or are some people finding the "perfect angle" that makes you look really thin? How does one do this?

Maybe I want to make a "glamor shot" picture so I can also be a sexy 21 year old woman. How can I accomplish this?[/quote']

Heavy women are pretty to but, we like to hide our flaws the best we can. My picture is just what I looked like 25#'s ago when I'm sitting at my desk with my lap top. No photo shop going on here. Justin you look great and too are also handsome.

This is the trick I use. Hold the camera at arms length in front of you and higher then your head. Point the camera down at yourself but don't hold your face up too high. Just use your eyes to look up. It will make you look slim' date=' no double chin and years younger![/quote']

Michellemo just took a new profile pic using your advice and ummmm. . . I don't look 21 or model-thin lol. OP I can't wait to see your glamour selfie!

Ummmm. Not pretty, not young, but at my heaviest this year. It was very hard to find a photo. I am good at not being in them. Also not photogenic enough for anyone to take any candid shots.

      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.
