I have had a couple of people tell me I should take a 'before' photo to document the beginning of this journey. I can understand why some people would want that, and to each his own. But truthfully, every photo of me over the last 30 years has been a 'before' photo. Do I really need to take an underwear shot to remember what I look like? For those of you who are further along, did you need that photo to compare with your current appearance to know you are progressing? Will I regret it if I don't take one? (I guess the thought of a 'bikini pic' right now terrifies me....)
I regret not taking any photos before my surgery. I did not have any full body pictures of myself because I hated taking pictures when I was over weight, now trying to find a picture to compare show the difference is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Hello All,
Glad I found this thread. I have also gain a little weight back and scared that I'm going to regain all my weight back. I have gain 10 pounds because of careless eating; I am a known stress eater. I know if I do not take control now, my regain will only get worse. I recently gave up chewing gum and notice that I have been substituting my gum chewing for carbs. I will try my hardest to start on Tuesday; it's going to be hard because we are having chips and all kinds of dips at work. I recently bought a treadmill and did great for about 2 weeks [emoji20]. I think having a support group that knows what I am going through would benefit me in my new start.
Thanks in advance!
What Surgery did you have? And how long after your surgery did the regain start? My biggest fear is regain, I plan to monitor my weight closely to try and avoid any regain. I think I'm still in the losing stage though, I will be 1 year post op in 3 weeks.

Hello my fellow WLS peeps. I am on a mission to lose 50 pounds that I have regained. I am feeling hopeful and know that getting back to basics will do it. I would like this thread to be a place where we can come and be transparent and accountable. I plan on checking in with a weigh in every Monday starting tomorrow. If you want to join me, let's do this!
Heightist weight: 289
Lowest: 157
Goal: 150
Attached is my before surgery pic, me at my lowest and where I am today.
May God bless you and keep you[emoji173]️

Been single for a while trying to get my body and health right. I'm 6 months post op, lost 95 pounds total. I always had a high sex drive, wanted sex all the time never had energy like that pre surgery plus i was very uncomfortable in bed when i was heavy. Just starting seeing someone new about 2 months and I'm just now seeing I have much more energy and I am a lot more flexible too....I am 65 days post-op and I am having fun. What i want to know from my fellow Post-op (Ex-fat people) what is it to you that make Sex so much better share and don't hold back. For Me the stamina is awesome I can keep going and going plus i seem to have lost weight but gain length in my manhood. And even tho I am still regular fat not super fat anymore I am so much more confident to take my cloths off and get to work.
