Help me choose my "Before" picture



Recommended Posts

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,

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
