Then there's your power!!! Power over your life to make the things happen that you want to see happen. Keep that control...now you WIN and not the obesity!!

This is me in 2012, next is the day I came out of the hospital 5 months later last is a picture of me a month ago....Still have 26 lbs to go!!!!!!!

Don't you feel powerful?!?!? I love it...great job!!

I wouldn't say I feel powerful..I guess I feel that despite everything, what I wanted to happen in the end is happening :)

Your a clever little thing aren't you? Never saw it that way....Still in transit so it is still hard to see the other side yet..:)

I don't have many before pictures. . Avoided cameras like the plague. The one with the balloons is from my birthday in mid August, two months before surgery. The other is with my husband last weekend. 51 lbs lost :)

Personally I am trying not to focus on the vanity looks component. i did this for health reasons. it is merely a positive bonus side effect to look better.

MsKeeKee, you're so right. I personally have been looking at that My Story spot and have wanted to fill it in for a long time now just didn't want to fill it in too early as I am only 3 months postop. I also just added before and during pics because I too like to look at pics BUT sometimes people post pictures and you can't see any difference because they post pictures like every week and I def don't want to do that. Thank you for mentioning this and I will work on filling in My Story :)

I'm still in process, just over five weeks out from surgery, but here are a couple of progress pictures. The face pictures are me around surgery consult weight, the day of surgery, and last night at five weeks post-op.

Please pardon the bralessness of the pre-op full body. I took them the day I started my pre-op liquid diet (so, seven weeks ago), and wasn't planning on sharing, but I don't have any others in my phone. The full-body shots in the brown dress were taken this morning. This was a goal dress hanging in my closet that I've skipped right over. I was holding a handful of fabric in the back and side. I couldn't squeeze into it five weeks ago, and now it's at least two sizes too big. Also, not wearing any shape wear -- just discovering there's a different shape to me and not just round. Haha! Looking at these pictures, I understand now why a couple of people have said I look like I'm melting. :)

Highest recorded weight: 276

Surgery consult weight: 267.2 (what I calculate from)

Surgery weight: 250.4

My weight this morning: 222.7

      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!!
