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.

      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.
