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!

The transformation is amazing….I like looking at myself more and more in photos because i can see the changes so much more than when I glance in the mirror.

You look AWESOME @@PrettyThick1 !!

      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
