DANG, YOU LOOK GOOD! What an accomplishment!!!

On topic, I am a 21 year old girl which is probably why I look so young.

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
angle queen here lol!!! My face is really skinny now so no angle needed

If it weren't for flattering selfies, there would be no pics of me in existence for the last 10 years!! :)

LOL!!! That is so funny (and true for me also!) ;)

Flattering angle - CHECK!

Good lighting - CHECK!

21 years old - UH OH, EPIC FAIL! :P

(And for anyone who is curious my profile pic was taken on Aug. 8, 2013)

Mine was taken on July 4th of this year, while we were on the beach, waiting for the fireworks to start. I liked it (despite the sunglasses nose burn), so I used it. No way am I ready to post the full body angle types yet!

Hi Justin!

Over the years I have taken self photos and there is a lot of cropping and moving the camera around' date=' 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![/quote']

Yeah, I have a mother that tells mr I should always wear makeup because I'm so pretty when I wear makeup. Thanks, Mom. And when I told her I was looking into WLS her response was, "oh, good, we'll get the real Judi back. " Hate to tell you this, Mom, but this IS the real Judi. You're going to get a healthy Judi back, but it'll still be me.

        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
