Progress Pics ?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I was curious...

May paperwork has been submitted to my Ins Co. for approval.

And I want to take some before, during & after pictures as well as my measurements.

What my question is.. Is there a certain outfit I should take these pictures in? Like jeans & a t-shirt that fit now, shorts & tank? Or should the clothes be different?

I want to wear something that shows my actual size. You know clothes can hide our weight. (Somewhat).. LOL

TIA,

I did this.. I have a black pair of workout stretchy pants and a shirt that does NOT cover my belly or butt...... I plan to take monthly pictures in the same outfit in the same poses....

I didnt take any, I should have. But I would do it in a bikini. Show as much skin as possible. Horrify myself into losing weight!

i wore a pair of 'biker shorts' and a t shirt that was snug. last month i had to change the t shirt to a smaller size because it was too big and you couldnt see any of my tummy.

if i were to have to do it again, i would be in bikers and maybe a sports bra. not sure if i would be brave enough for a bikini (if i could find one that fit at 402 lbs :) )

i did not take my measurements immediately before surgery and i do regret that. i had old measurements for some clothes that i used, but i am not sure if they are accurate.

good luck with your surgery!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
