LOL...thanks Denise, but yeah I do.....he did an AMAZING job of not getting the things that bothered me. It took about 4 hours to get 300 shots, so he rocked. He was an awsome photographer to work with. I can post some that you can kinda see my tummy, but then you would loose the illusion...lol...

You look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!:eek: OK I wanted to put in the smiley's with the heart eyes and the "drooling" one but thought that was just too creepy. :lol:

Everyone looks GREAT. Though if I had to pick my fav's I'd say they were the second and third in the first batch and the first of the second batch. I'm not as fond of the ones where the camera makes your hands appear to be in some of the others. :cool: But they are still awesome pics.

Any chance your photographer would be willing to come to the KC area? I think I'm going to need to have some pics taken like these as well. Preferably before my breast reduction though.:purplebananna:

I am sure I would be nervious to be in front of a camera like that but. I have a few photographer friends and I wonder if they would do it for me...once closer to goal.

Question? I don't remember if you mentioned this before or not. Did you have to provide your own clothing? Where did you find them?

I would wait - you waited this long - why not wait until the final results are in. You will be looking at those pics forever and you want to be at your best. Remember too - the camera puts pounds on you and you don't want any regrets. If you are getting TT and all, I would wait. You look fabulous now though and would have beautiful shots. Also, i would find another photographer - his pics have shadows and not very good lighting. I did photos in my past and I don't like the way he did his ad shot. He probably will do nice photos, but get the best you can afford. Again, you will be looking at these forever. Enjoy your shoot and good luck !:Dancing_wub:

Sometimes I think people post a reply to the original post without checking the follow up comments. Alternately jerseygirl may have been referring to my comment about wanting to have similar photos before my breast reduction.

But like you I want to give my DH a "farewell" present from the "gals". Who knows maybe I'd have them done again after my next go round of PS but if I wait to take the pics until after the girls are gone there is no going back.

:ohmy:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
