This is from my before picture taken about 3 weeks ago that I haven't really looked at until now.

I just have one question.... when did my belly button turn into an ass?

Angie, you are a blast! That made my day. Seriously - I was grouchy today about this whole eating cottage cheese and Soup crap (will it ever end!) and I saw your post and laughed so hard I peed my pants!

I took some before pictures, but wasn't brave enough to take one of my belly button - now, I'm seriously tempted!

Could be worse... your spouse could be rubbing her hands all over your shaven stomach, chanting "Buddha... Buddha... I pray to thee."

Well that was a full body bra and underwear shot, I just cropped it down to there. That was bad enough, NO ONE needs to see the full monte. :cursing:

My husband keeps bugging me to do a sports bra and shorts "before" picture, but I'm scared!

But looking through the Before & After picture section of the forum - there are certainly those out there who are showing us the full monte! :cursing: Wow. I appreciate their bravery!

I wanted my before pictures to really show how FAT I am. Most people you can't tell because it's only a headshot (which is all the pictures I had of me, too!). I want DRAMATIC before/after shots. :cursing:

OMG you made my stomach hurt from laughing so hard.:) It is wonderful to have such a fabulous sense of humor and be willing to share with us. I think you made a lot of people's day.

It will great when you can compare the new to the old.

Hehe, you could consider doing two sets of before and afters? I am doing mine that way. I have one set in form fitting exercise type clothes and the other in my skivvies that will be just for me and DF's eyes only. :)

it's good to have a sense of humor, the good thing is that this will not be how your body will look like in a few months, so it's not you, it's the fat version of you.

I have a mental idea, I like to think that I live in a future where I am thin, I'm just wearing a fat suit and I'll be taking it off soon.

      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!!
