Okay the first one is me now one year out down 90 pounds, and the second is day of surgery. It's not the best picture but it will certainly do!

this weekend will mark my 16 month bandiversary... i dont think i could be more pleased with my progress. (ok ok, goal would be nice, but this is good too).

hopefully these angles satisfy some of the more picky viewers of pics :blushing:. if not, tough. :regular_smile:

dunno what is up with my left leg, my DH said it doesnt really look that deformed, must just be the way i stand - i guess that would explain why my trainer always tells me to straighten my feet!!:tt1:

Hello Ya'll:

My surgery is scheduled for 2/25/08. In an act of bravery, I am deciding to post these pr-op pictures. Wish me luck.

Hi All, I thought I would join in the fun. The pictures on the left show me at 300 - 305 lbs (pink shirt taken in May 07; white shirt taken in June 05). The pictures on the right are post-surgery (orange shirt taken in Nov 07; purple blouse taken in Dec 07). It's a start! :)

Congratulations to everyone! All the pictures have left an impression on me. I was especially inspired by Boo Boo Kitty. :crying:

Yesterday morning, my mom (who doesn't see me often) exclaimed about my cheekbones. She kept saying that I look so much thinner in my face, so I put some pictures together just to track it. It'll be 2 months post-op (to the day) on February 14th, so I guess it's about time for this. :)

I am still a work in progress! Nowhere near my goal weight, but I'm working on it!

OK...here goes nothing. The first two were taken just prior to surgery. The third was taken about five weeks ago (sorry I forgot to take a current side shot).

I just found a picture of me online that was taken this weekend. I had to take a second look because I can't believe how skinny I look. It's so weird, but when I picture myself I still see me as being at least chubby. But then seeing pictures like this are a big eye opener. Good news, though, I am 2 lbs from goal!

The first picture was from July at 55 lbs down. The second is this weekend at 91 lbs down.

        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.

        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
