Ok, I want to do a pin up type photo shoot. Should I wait until I am at goal or now to help me break free from this fat girl mentality??

Am I ready for this??

Also, check out this photographer and tell me what you all think! IS he good enough??

Whether you are fat or thin, you need to start loving yourself this very second. You need to know that you are beautiful no matter what a number on the scale says. You need to do nice things for yourself like manicures/pedicures, wear cute clothes, make plans with friends, buy something extravagent once in a while, etc. Treasure yourself and it is much easier to lose weight. I say take the glam pictures now and at goal.

As a photographer myself, I say do it now and later. Those will be priceless memories you will always want to remember!

Additionally, this pinup style is pretty neat. I do mostly weddings and families but I think I may start doing some of this!

If there is anyone here in the Little Rock, Arkansas area that would like some of these done, let me know. I can take the pictures for free since they will be for my portfolio.

If you are interested send me a pm.

I'm in the Kansas City area and after seeing BooBoo's thread would love to give this a try as well. If any of you photographers are in this area and would give me a discount give me a PM.

I'd also be more than happy to do some of this stuff free for my lapband sistas! :biggrin:

We need to talk! I would love to do this with you, but also if you are thinking of expanding your business, there is a pin up company that looks for women photographers to do pin up work. GREAT PAY! I want to do it someday, but you must have a pin up portfolio already! You could build it here and then get some $$ by doing it!

PM me!

I'm excited for you!! I've always wanted to do something like this. Maybe as a gift for DH, I'll set up something like this. But it'll be awhile. I'm not even banded yet :wink_smile:

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
