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.

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 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 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!

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!!

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 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

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
