Unfortunately I had a recent birthday - that required a re-newed drivers license.

I thought the old/new version of me was worth sharing... old was in 2002, I had wls in 2004, new is 2006

I am almost one month post op. My "breaking point" was pictures of me at my family reunion this past July 2006. I decided to look at them today and I was shocked! I guess because this is more gradual to me I had no idea the difference. I am down 25 pounds total including pre-op diet. Check this out.....

This first picture is from July 30, 2006 the second picture was this past Wednesday.

Well I've finally gotten the nerve to post my pictures. The pictures were taken one year apart. In the first picture I was 247 and I am currently at 170.

I thought I should update my pics. The first ones were 2 days before surgery and the second ones 6mths down the road and 92lbs down. I wore the same clothes but they dont do me justice...the top hangs now and the back of the pants dont touch my legs...new clothes next time around me thinks...

Hey guys,

My first before and after picture posting. The one on the left is me tonight, and the right is me about 4 years ago (my ID photo), and I wasn't even at my highest. Probably only maybe 250-260 there.. this is a good comparison picture for me, cause I don't even really believe I looked like that, EVER!

I can't say before and after because I'm not done losing yet so these are my before and during pictures. Pardon the first pic as that was taken at 4am and the photographer didn't check to see if I blinked hahaha. Looks like I'm on the drugs to put you under just before surgery hahaha.

277_227_212 more shrinking to go.

      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!!
