Help me choose my "Before" picture

[nkcaump 0]

Only a few more days before my pre-op meeting and I've already started to feel better after about 1 1/2 weeks of drinking lots of Water and (kindof) watching what I eat.

Now, to some, the following might seem like a practice in abject humiliation, but you've really got to understand how my mind thinks.

Can I get some help from the lapbanders out there to help me choose my "Before" picture? There weren't a lot to choose from, but I think the three finalists are pretty worthy.

See the finalists and leave a comment to vote:

Kamler's Space: Choose my "Before" Picture

how about taking one the night before surgery. then every month on your "bandiversary" date, you can take one and compare.

i do it monthly and wear the same type of clothing and when i dont really see the scale move, i see the difference in my appearance from one month to another.

good luck.

I would choose the one on the sofa. Your shirt is a little tighter there so it shows more. I wish I would have had one where my clothes were tighter. Good luck to you. I hope you love your band as much as I love mine.

My 4 year old actually took that picture. Funny, that's how my 4 year old sees me every day! If that isn't motivation then I don't know what is!!!

my pick of those 3 would be the first one with your family...

but i agree you should do one the night or day before

by yourself, and wear similar clothing for your after pic later on.

I like the one where you are sitting down - the third one - us fatties always look bigger when we are sitting down because the fat pushes up or something. You will be setting a great example for your children when you live a healthier life and they will admire you.

Enjoy the lap band adventure.

Take care,

I have pics of myself in exactly the same clothes, standing in exactly the same place.
