Here are my pictures. This is very hard for me to post. I have always avoided pictures due to hating how fat my face looks. I recently went on vacation and decided to take a lot of pictures. I have lost 47 lbs since surgery on 6/18 and so far I am so happy with the results. Well, here it goes. My face and body before and after pictures.

Ps. The gorgeous lady in the red is my sis Hilda! I hope to be as thin as her one day!

I can tell a huge difference and you look beautiful! Isn't this exciting?!

you were beautiful before wls and you are even more beautiful after. You look great! When I first started losing, I lost in my face first too:). Good luck on your continued journey.

Think of all the guilt and inward negativity you have had for the past many years. Now start making all that come out as the opposite. If you treated yourself terrible (ashamed, whatever) then now you owe it to yourself to treat yourself extra awesome. As you shed pounds and find the new you, be extra proud, share pictures rejoice in the new you. And do it with the same level of intensity that you used to reserve for feeling bad.

You look great - celebrate! And share your new happiness. It will make you feel better and it helps inspire all of the rest of us. And a year from now, you will look at these pictures and think - that was nothing... look at me now!!!

You look amazing, and you can just see how much happier you are now. It's like you're glowing! I wish I had the courage you do! I'm down 90+ lbs, and still don't go in front of the camera. I'm hoping to start working on that soon though

You look amazing girl! So so so pretty!!

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your compliments everyone! They truly mean a lot to me. I really do enjoy the camera more now. I cannot wait to continue to take pictures so that I can continue to track my progress.

I wish all of you the best!
