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.

[livilu 39]

I'm not really sure if this will work....never posted pics on a reply before

[BellaHugz 331]

To those who shared your photo before and after pic's Thank you so much, they are all so encouraging!!

[back2barb78 890]

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

I hear you..If I looked at this for vanity..I would really fail...........so many wrinkles and on top of that I look like my mother and she is 80......
