How about December BEFORE Pics?



Recommended Posts

Let's see if it does it this time.

I can't seem to reduce the size though. It's easier to see in the attachment file

I opened them where they are on my computer. Then I right clicked to choose open with > Office Picture Manager. Then I could edit the size down to something reasonable. Around 300 pixels seems to be the best.

There may be a better (read easier) way to do it but I couldn't figure it out. The plus size of making them smaller is it makes it much quicker to upload. There are probably lots of programs to do it with, but that was the one that was first on my list.

Good Luck

Hi all. To make your pictures smaller, go to "MS Paint" at the top click on "image", go to "stretch skew". It will open up a place for sizes. Change this to 50% or whatever size you want. This should do it.

I'm going in for surgery on Dec 18th. I have lots of before pictures but I have to get the courage to put them up.

After pictures I can do.....:)

The reason I put mine up now is so that you guys can hold me accountable :) It's just some trick for my psychie - I sure didn't put them up because I'm proud of them. Have a good one everyone! Here we goooooooooooooo!

Hope this works, I couldn't find any full body pictures of me, but I just came across this one from two weekends ago. I'm going to take better "before" pictures this weekend. I've also attached a picture of me and my fiance from our xmas card because it is too cute. Anyways, surgery date is 12/10, one week from today and I am so excited! I can't wait for the after pictures! :bounce:

Tomecia - I followed Twilights directions above for making the picture smaller . . . and then Frisky1 also added suggestions.

I'm Home everyone! :)

      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.
