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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
