Comparison Photos - An Eye Opening Experience



Recommended Posts

If I ever am tempted to listen to the voice in my head that says "I don't see a difference", I'll take a look at these and thank Miss Pearlie (my band) for all she had done to make this happen. I'm not at my goal and these pics are 15lbs heavier than I am today, but they are my faves because they were the first evidence that I was no longer afraid to take pictures.post-146151-0-08931900-1394774929_thumb.jpg post-146151-0-52122300-1394774946_thumb.jpg post-146151-0-95768600-1394774968_thumb.jpg post-146151-0-42003200-1394774995_thumb.jpg post-146151-0-42003200-1394774995_thumb.jpg

Look at you...so beautiful and confident and smiling all over! Love that form-fitting beige dress...a perfect choice to show off all your hard work. Not just Miss Pearlie's work, lady, but yours as well. Take credit as credit is due :)

I'm sure you don't see it...that seems to be an issue many of us have but know that the change in you is truly spectacular. you were beautiful before but you are truly transformed in the more recent pictures.

Gorgeous! So happy for you -- you are exuding health and vitality. I'm still at the stage when I have to be careful not to beat myself up when I see pictures (or the mirror, eeek!). Want to cross over to the "look what I've done" phase instead of "OMG how did I ever let myself get so fat" stage.

You continue to inspire me -- thanks so much for posting!

      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.
