Okay I will share. I haven't done the pants things ON me so stay tuned...will have to try that soon.

Edited to add: funny these are both a pair of "capri" jeans, notice how much the length changes to accommodate the belly... :blink:

Here I am wearing BOTH of these shirts (before and after)

Here are the sizes of the shirts:

Before 4x

After L

Good job girlie!!

You look so pretty in your after. :)

Oh I like the pics with you wearing the shirts!

Man I was just going to say I wish I had one of me wearing the big pants back in the day, but honestly I'm glad I don't... If someone had actually managed to get a picture of that? I might not be living and breathing today (neither would they) :P

Honestly the way I ran from pictures! Ok waddled. And threatened!

It was self preservation, if I saw me in print I would be thrown into a bigger depression than I already was on a daily basis :(

So many family memories on film and I'm missing.

Thanks Laura...

I know what you mean about going MIA in family memories. That purple shirt, I thought "ah ha! I will get the 4X to cover ALL the rolls of fat" and then someone happened to snap this photo of me at my cousin's daughter's 2 year old bday party and I went HOLY SH*T I guess that 4X wasn't really working for me. :(

But that L, yeah it's not a M or S or XS, but I will gladly take it! :P

You look amazing!! You don't have to be a size S to be beautiful. You have done fantastic, I cannot believe the difference in the size of shirts.

Thank you ladies! SS - I will never be a size small but that is OK ...I'm fine where I AM...heck of a lot better than where I WAS!

Yes, thank you so much! I do look "depressed" in that purple shirt...ha ha! I wasn't really though, I happened to be looking down at the 2 year old who was coming up to the table I was sitting at and the photographer was trying to "catch" her in action (2 year olds move pretty fast when they want to) but she "caught" me sitting in a chair looking depressed instead. I wasn't happy about my weight but I wasn't depressed ...even though the photo looks like that. ;) It's amazing when you *think* you look a certain way and then somehow the camera catches you and you finally see what everyone else sees instead of what you look like in your own mind...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
