Greetings to you all! I am really curious as people always assume I am older than I am; which is not a bad thing. So I want to do a little experiment' date=' I want to post a picture of myself now, pre-surgery and see how old you think I am. This is not something where you say oh, 19, and think 29 haha. I want the hard numbers that you genuinely see. I want to see if I age from weight loss or lose years. I am attached a few pictures taken within the last year. Thank you for your honesty. Also yes, the little boy is my nephew. Love him so much!![/quote']

So how old are you????

And the answer is…….........

Since all these pictures were taken in the last 6 months, and are all pre-op, I am the same age in all of them.

Drum roll....... 29!

My birthday is September 14, 1984

When I was 13, I was always asked to buy cigarettes for people who were under age. I have never been carded since that age.

When I met my husband, I was 21, he was 36 at the time. He thought I was 28, so he had no problem dating me. Boy was he surprised haha!

Thank you everyone for participating! I am so exited to come back after my surgery in Halloween 6 mo- a year later. Of course there will be progress pics along the way. Yay!

You are all awesome!

Darn...Iwasthisclose!!!

Shoot, I almost said 29 but then went with 28...haha!

Anyway, my personal opinion is that fat ages us. No matter what we look like the fat somehow distorts us and makes us older than what we are. I've seen it so many times here with before/after photos where the "after" photo shaves at least 10 years off a person. It's exciting to see!

Hopefully you will get a chance to turn back that clock and people will be thinking you are 19! ;)

Cool - my guess of 30-31 was pretty close. Everyone should try out the RealAge app and report back what it tells them about their age.

Perhaps start a thread?

I just did it and am happy to say it came back at 1.3 years younger than my actual age. 42.1. Yeah!

:-D

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
