Before Pics: June 2013

Hey, June 2013 sleevers! I know some of us have started the pre-op diet, I was just wondering if anyone has taken their before pics yet. Or are you waiting for the day of surgery?

I think I will take mine tonight. (whimper)

Thoughts?

I was just wondering this same thing....I'm going to re-weigh myself today (start pre-op diet today) and i think take pictures too. BUT then also take pics surgery morning, just to document everything. One never knows if they may do a photo collage later lol

I haven't taken any on purpose yet, but I got a couple of doozies recently. I had to go to an event & there was somebody taking photos. They got 2 cringe-worthy shots of me, including one from the rear....and I first saw them on Facebook!!! I was appalled at first, but then I thought what good before pix they would make. In fact, I think I'm going to take after shots from the same angle, just so I can watch my big 'ole butt get smaller. ;) I uploaded them to my profile here already, and now I need to print them out for me to see at home.

I ended up with the same kind of thing. I had been planning to do the "put on workout clothes and stand in front of a white wall" pics....but I just cant bring myself to do it. My bf took some pics of me and my son in Austin this weekend, and I think some will work for a before. None of the big ol' bum, thank the Lord! lol.

Hey fellow sleeve siblings!

Wow. Pics. I usually try to avoid them at all cost. But I think I should take a before pic just to see my progress. Also take measurements for those slow losing periods. My sister is coming to town to take me to the hospital for surgery Tues 06/04. I can have her take one on my phone. I just have to figure out how to get it off my phone to other places (here, photo for fridge, etc.) Tech savvy I am NOT!

I actually went out today and got 15+ inches cut off my hair (donated to locks of love). I feel like I lost 5 lbs. in hair alone!

Best of luck to all "Junies". June 4th is almost here! Nervous and excited!
