Pictures are good to fall back on. We all have our down times where we easily get off track. I think by looking back at progress we lift ourselves up. I plan to take picture monthly. I hate having my pictures taken and I have hardly any of myself from the past 5 years. As I go through my journey, I want to be able to look at these pics and see a difference. I want a reminder that it takes time and hard work to get where I want to be and that I don't want to be back in this position EVER AGAIN!

I have always anytime i get on an diet/exercise kick taken pics... it grosses me out at first to look at the first set... BUT when you take the next a month later and can put them side by side and see the difference it gives you the motivation to keep going! I took a set front back and both sides 2 1/2 weeks pre op and then took another set a month later which was exactly two weeks post op... i have lost 16lbs altogether at this point... I am stoked about the 16lbs and when I looked at the pictures side by side... I could see it melting off! But the key is to take your pictures with the same clothes on.... i managed to squeeze into my swim suit from 5 or 6 years ago when I was about 50 to 60lbs lighter.... but with having the same thing on i can see the small changes that are occuring that I wont be able to see if i had something else on... I truely believe that pictures can help to push and motivate a person to get to that desired goal! I say you should go for it... it will make you feel better in the end!!! Good luck to you on your journey!!:D

I was going to post my before/after pics but can't figure out how to do it. Does anyone know? I have jpeg files.

Even though i dont like to take pictures i take one picture a month. nothing fancy just a plain stand up shot to put in my progress book. amazing how your body changes. i had plateud for about 4 weeks but my body composition was changing. pants fit differently and such. they may not be the most pleasant thing to do, but i use them for incentive to keep going. I am enjoying smaller clothes, no achy joints and compliments.

Everyone have a great weekend!:D

I took a few before my pre-op diet. Not to remember where I was, but to see how far I have come.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
