Ok so my husband was going through his photos in his phone today and came across these old pictures of me and I swear I never looked that way. I was sleeved on November 8th. Pre sleeve I was approved at 272 lbs.. Went into surgery 8 lbs less. Today I weigh 219. I don't know who that person was. I hope I never have to remember.

I completely understand. I once wrote on here...I want to cry for her...that girl I see in the pictures....the old me...I feel so sad for her. I can see all the pain in her eyes. She feels like she trapped in a prison, which is in fact her own body.

I thank god every day for my new start in life!

Congrats on your weight loss. I know where you're coming from. When I was at my heaviest, I could look in the mirror and know that the image I saw wasn't the real me and I wasn't suppose to look that way.

I hate it. The old pictures that is. I look at that and think what was I thinking that I looked good? Thank God that my husband never thought that. He has always told me the complete opposite it fact. Luv him.

Congratulations on your weightloss so far. You look amazing. I know exactly how you feel about seeing the woman that you once were. I keep telling myself that I am striping layers off of me everytime my weight goes down. We are all healthy people stuck in a fat suit and we finaly got the zipper oiled to take it off.

Congrats! I can't wait to be in the same place you are. =)

Holy crap, maybe I'm just really tired, but this made me tear up. Is that how I'm gonna see myself? Man. That's powerful stuff right there.

Just had my consult with my doc today! Ill be having surgery within 6 weeks!!!!

I've deleted all "fat" photos for so long, I'll be lucky to find much in before photos.

Congratulations and keep smiling!!! You look fabulous!!!

That is how I feel. I was so depressed, and sad all the time. I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything because I was so embarrassed by my weight. There wasn't a minute that would go by that I wasn't thinking about it. Thankfully I am starting to finally be freed from my prison body!
