Ok, until i take some better shots these will have to do. You might not be able to see a difference, I know I don't. The first pic is 3 weeks after surgery and the other was this weekend. When I find better pic I will post them.

Unfortunately I had a recent birthday - that required a re-newed drivers license.

I thought the old/new version of me was worth sharing... old was in 2002, I had wls in 2004, new is 2006

I am almost one month post op. My "breaking point" was pictures of me at my family reunion this past July 2006. I decided to look at them today and I was shocked! I guess because this is more gradual to me I had no idea the difference. I am down 25 pounds total including pre-op diet. Check this out.....

This first picture is from July 30, 2006 the second picture was this past Wednesday.

Well I've finally gotten the nerve to post my pictures. The pictures were taken one year apart. In the first picture I was 247 and I am currently at 170.

I thought I should update my pics. The first ones were 2 days before surgery and the second ones 6mths down the road and 92lbs down. I wore the same clothes but they dont do me justice...the top hangs now and the back of the pants dont touch my legs...new clothes next time around me thinks...

I am 5 months post op as of today and can finally see some progress! Here are my before pics (well actually the pics are prior to surgery but I lost 14 pds before surgery with the pre-op diet) And my pictures as of today. I have such a goofy grin on my face in the pre-op one, LOL

Hey guys,

My first before and after picture posting. The one on the left is me tonight, and the right is me about 4 years ago (my ID photo), and I wasn't even at my highest. Probably only maybe 250-260 there.. this is a good comparison picture for me, cause I don't even really believe I looked like that, EVER!

I can't say before and after because I'm not done losing yet so these are my before and during pictures. Pardon the first pic as that was taken at 4am and the photographer didn't check to see if I blinked hahaha. Looks like I'm on the drugs to put you under just before surgery hahaha.

277_227_212 more shrinking to go.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
