I couldn't figure out how to add these photos to my last post, so I'm putting them here.

I had surgery November 16th 2012.

The first is a pre-op picture from last March. I weighed about 330lbs.

The workout gear picture was taken April 25th, 2013 right before doing a C25k unit. I probably weighed 237?

The blue/white dress pictures were taken May 4th, 2013, and I weighed 234lbs.

Highest weight- 330

Surgery- 310

Current- 233

My clothes fit VERY differently when I'm wearing Shapewear. In the blue/white dress I'm wearing a shapewear slip which definitely smooths out the skin and makes clothes fit better. I'm not wearing shapewear in my workout clothes.

I find myself dressing up more than I did before because I'm feeling good. I'm definitely having a surge of confidence right now.

Edit: I am 25 years old and 5'10" tall.

I'm 5'10" and 25 years old, so my BMI in this picture is a little over 33, I think. The dress/belt/cardigan optical illusion definitely helps. I don't look like that in regular clothes. It's a very slimming combination. :-D

Lol even in the workout clothes you look great! Although I do absolutely love the dress and it is very slimming on you. I'm quite a bit shorter than you, 5'4, and a little older, 29, but I carry my weight similar to the way you did in the before pic. I'm 297 right now and hoping for surgery in June or July. You are definitely my inspiration!

I'm glad I can be inspiration! I still have a ways to go, but I'm so much healthier now. Good luck on getting a surgery date!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
