Before picture at my heaviest

[it'sonlythefirststep 141]

I never really take pictures due to my weights. Just didn’t make me happy to do so. This was July 2017. I had my surgery March 22,2018.

Be sure to go in and edit and add your weight at that pic so when you post your update we can say "HOLY Sh*T Mamacita!!

I totally understand. I was doing everything I could not to be in my friend's birthday picture last night. Then my sister reminded me that it could be my last "big girl" before surgery, so I braved it.

This was at my little brother’s wedding day at the justice of the peace. So I had to take a pic

@it'sonlythefirststep

pic alert, pic alert

always good for newbies to take their pic before surgery.

take it again while you are loosing weight. i always hid

from camera. no old pics. glad i took before sleeve to

remind me what i used to look like!! I don't recognize

myself, but in a morbid way, i don't want to forget what

i looked like in my "previous" life!! - 3 weeks PO, congrats

on loosing 20 lbs!! kathy

My son threatened he was going to send BP one of me rumpled and half-asleep, if Alex saw me like that he might send me a campership to BariatricPalMX, I look seriously in need of something. Maybe when I have my hair combed and a tad of makeup on? He has enough on his cellphone to blackmail me if he wanted😋

Thanks for posting it! We've all been there. And we all can't wait for the "after" pix so we can Celebrate with you!

Honey you look cute and big, I can’t wait to Celebrate with you even cuter and small! Good luck, it’s all going to happen.

Had my surgery very near yours - March 27, 2018. I have to find a before picture..... hope I have one. HW 293. SW 293 CW 270
I feel great! I’m down to one medication for blood pressure. I’m not having any issues with eating the recommended soft foods. I am having a little trouble drinking enough, but it’s just that I have to remind myself to drink, drink, drink!! But I am really looking forward to food I can actually chew!! I am never hungry but I do think about eating a lot. I wonder if this obsession with food will ever go away!!
