Putting a face to a name



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone -

I thought it would be nice to put faces to names and get some pre-op pictures on here. To start us off, here is one taken of me around Thanksgiving and one biking this past summer! Since I've never posted any pictures, I hope this comes out.

Ok. Slightly larger pics than I wanted, even though I sent them out as "smallest, lowest quality". Sorry - it is a little discerning to see my picture up there so large...

I love you already because you were out riding bikes even while you were bigger AND because you have my dream hair color!

Unfortunately, I won't be posting in photos of myself because of a meltdown that happened at another board I belong to. I'm extremely paranoid about being made fun of right now but...you just wait until I'm banded and start making progress. I'll be a big picture ho! =)

All I have are headshots right now, and of course I deleted all but the ones that make me look the thinnest. LOL

I plan on having my husband take some of me at the studio (I'm a photographer) as proper "Before" shots.

Where I want to get (back) to. Actually want to be about 25 lbs less than this (the corset is holding me in quite a bit! LOL)

Here is me! All 290 poundages of me :-) I'm wearing funny outfit because I do rennaissance festivals, and this was a gathering, hence the hat and odd clothing.. LOL

Thank you so much! I really hope I can get this done in February! The way I've calculated it, my ins. has a month to approve it, and my doctor office said they can get me in fairly quickly and I'm going to go ahead and start the south beach phase one (which is what he requires to shrink the liver) in february wether I'm approved or not, that way when and if I get the approval I can say "lets do it now". Of course, this is only a dream of mine. LOL. It rarely works out like this.. I might not get approved... they might require more information... the doctor might be too booked for february.. so many factors.. But, it's my goal.

Thanks... I can't wait too just get started. My sister was banded on Dec 31st so now I am getting impatient. I don't want her to get to far ahead of me. So I have me finger crossed that everything is going to work out and I will be right there with her.

This is me on our anniversary trip to Louisianna last November. I was at about 289 in this shot. :) 293 was my all time highest. :eek:

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
