When you're overweight and unhappy with your appearance, you go to extreme measures to ensure your photo is not inadvertently taken. You miss out on a lot of memories with friends and family, because you don't want a reminder of what you look like. So, it's only natural that when you start losing weight and becoming happier with the way you look and feel, you want a reminder of it. Embrace your new found confidence. You've earned it.

I agree. I've gone many years avoiding pictures. And how many times did I tell people not to tag me on Facebook?

CG...don't you love tha you can wear hubs' shirt!

LL112...you are gorgeous!

Goalseeker...the little one is adorable!

Kliichow...that was part of the reason I posted. It's embarrassing how many pics I take these days some for memories and some just to remind myself that I'm really on my way down the scale this time! But I am also proud of myself for having gotten this far and it motivates me to not give up!

I know what you mean as you probally seen ine as I had to take a face shot because my kids said something about me not having more than on chin lol, I still don't see it though.

Here's my dirty little secret. I would try to send out Christmas cards every year, but statistically speaking, I was only "OK" with about 2% of them--the other 98% I thought I looked obviously obese or just like crap. I found one good family shot in the batch two Christmases ago with all four of us, but I still looked chunky in the face/neck, although the black jeans and oversized sweater (mostly) hid the rest. I zoomed in on Photoshop and with the help of a few tutorials photoshopped/shaded out my double chin. I wasn't stunning, but I was OK enough with the picture now to print and mass distribute as our Christmas card.

I'm hoping in the future not to have to resort to odd angles and Photoshop techniques just to hide myself.

        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.

      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
