Ummmm....you do realize that different types of lighting can account for tonal changes in a photograph????? hair color changes made you question the veracity of the picture???? SMH....I guess if anyone decides to post a WLS before/after picture, they'll need to make sure the pictures are taken with THE EXACT SAME CLOTHING, HAIR, POSES, LIGHTING, BACKDROPS, ETC to satisfy any naysayers.

Why be so disparaging......????? Just be happy for a person-& if you can't, DON'T COMMENT!

Uhm yea I realize that difference in lighting can change things, I'm not an idiot. What made me question it initially and apparently others as well is the amount of weight lost in 3 weeks. Because of that I looked closer and imo it looks like a different person. If you don't agree that's fine. If OP wants to defend herself she can. Calm down.

I didn't say you were an idiot .....I just don't get why instead of sounding judgemental or condescending, you or others couldn't have said something like "Great job! I see the new hair color too!" (or similar)...but that's just MY HUMBLE OPINION on the matter.

It wasn't a judgement one way or the other it was a neutral observation. I'm sorry you feel offended.

Look at the body there is no way that is the same person. I may believe it may be months but not 3 weeks.

Lady, I really don't care what you think. The fact is the before and after are BOTH ME. And I'm very super proud of myself and your negative and ignorant doesn't upset me. It actually makes me happy!

I have lost 32lbs including my pre-op. But I have lost more inches than pounds I feel because I have been walking average of 4.5 miles everyday.

I agree. I am the same size as the clearly white woman on the right side photo and I am pushing 300 lbs. The pic on the left is someone with a browner skin tone and looks way under 200 lbs. The problem is, there is no incentive to lie because she said she only lost what, 30-40 lbs. It just doesn't compute and all of us lifer obese folks know it.

We don't know her and she doesn't need to impress us with anonymous pics so why lie, it makes no sense. More problematic is that people who freak out over a reaction such as yours clearly is on the defensive. Let's just ignore her...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
