All I can do is add to the accolades. It's a beautiful picture of you and your daughter. I'm sure that you will both treasure this and all future photos. It's true....we want those memories and the pictures are wonderful to have and look through. Make sure you take many more.

Roo,

Thank you for your reply & your comments. I will do it! I will take a picture with my baby when I get home tonight! It will serve as my "before" since I started my 2 week pre-op diet this morning.

I love it! I am going to do that-you inspired me to do a mother daughter photo, in matching colors on the beach when I get down there. Thanks for the inspiration. You are beautiful and so is your daughter. Love your hair!

My hair is a wig actually! But thank you...I had severe Hair loss before surgery due to PCOS and having to take blood thinners. The surgery was just the last in a line of things that caused it to fall out. My real hair is almost non existent on top and sides and only slightly better in back. I figured it would happen so I was proactive and bought the wigs before surgery. It was hard to get adjusted to at first, more mentally than physically. But I have been wearing since end of November so I am pretty acclimated to it now.

Glad to hear you decided to do the pics. It is hard not being critical of ourselves. But those who love us, who want those pictures, they don't see it. All they see is their loved one.

Roo,

Hi and thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to let you know that I too have had that same issue, I have so few pictures of me with my family because of how I hated the way I looked in them and now the past is gone and there is no 'do over'. Time to live life and accept where we are at and what we look like, the good the bad and the ugly. I need to get some before and after pics myself but I have so few that it's a damn shame LOL.

You guys look great, keep up the good work!

      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!!
