I avoided cameras for a long time, so when I went looking for a before picture, there wasn't much of a selection. Can't believe I didn't purposely take one lol. Ah well. Here's the few that I found. Hope this works :/

The first one is me at my heaviest, 262lbs/119kgs. Notice my hand in the bag of chips lol.

The second one is me at 105kgs, I believe...

Here are my before and now photos. I cannot even tell that I've lost over 50lbs! It's very depressing for me to see these photos, not to mention that it is a HUGE step to post these on the internet. I can see my weight loss in my face and in the clothing sizes that I'm able to wear now, nontheless, I don't like looking at these photos.

Speaking of faces, I thought this was an interesting before-and-after. The one on the left was taken in 2001, and the one on the right a couple of weeks ago. Even I think I look younger now! :)

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
