  • I took a picture prior to my two week pre-op. My surgery is next Monday and I will probably take another and then weekly after that! Best of luck to everybody! Can't wait to see all the pictures!

  • I am having my surgery on Wednesday, and I want to take a pic a week until I have lost all my weight. That's my plan, I just hope I can stick to it. Also, Good luck with your surgery.

    I did not take any pictures specifically for that purpose. I have plenty of unflattering pictures to chose from. BUT what i did do was measure myself!

Absolutely. Go big or go home right??????

Yep, I plan on taking a pic before I head to the hospital next Monday.

Absolutely! I have been in awe of how much everyone changes. I don't think I will be able to really believe the changes unless I have documentation.

Measuring is a great idea! I will do that too.

I took photos the other night.. Not for surgery but as before photos for the Insanity program.. And I sit and cried after I looked at them.. But then I wiped away the tears and said never again!!

Absolutely agree!

Oh definitely! I'll be posting my highly unflattering before pics on my blog along with my measurements taken approximately 3 days pre-op, (before leaving for Mi Doctor Hospital in TJ). PLUS. I'll be vlogging the entire of my time spent there for the procedure as to not only capture every little detail in living memory for myself, but will be adding small vlog sized footage to my blog/youtube channel too so that I can help others get a feel for whats to come!

Can't wait to get it all behind me! :D

My hubbys going to take some on Thursday for my before. Then I am thinking once a month for the after photos.

My husband takes the worst pictures........But yeah, I plan on having pictures taken, even if it takes him an hour or two until he gets it right LOL Since I'm not telling people about the procedure, I'm leary to ask anyone :D

I didn't. Someone posted a pic on Facebook the other day and I noticed I was in it. It was right before surgery and my god I could have died. I'm so ashamed of how I looked.
