I know some people don't want to post their pictures here, and that is ok. Whether it be internet identity related, or just too shy, I can respect that.

But for those of you who want to show us your Before/During/After pictures, post them here. You can always go back and edit your posts with more pics once the pounds start dropping off in a few months.

Lets start at the beginning, and see the change over time.

I'll go first :biggrin: I couldn't find any full length pics of me, perhaps I will have one taken of me soon so I can see the change better. Perhaps in the same pose/clothes too. Something to think about.

Until then, here's what I got.

I'm not afraid!

This picture is old however...... I was doing Atkins on and off for a few years, and belonged to a forum where I made myself accountable, and took pictures.

I have it labeled with weight and date.

When I went to see Dr. Gazayerli, I weighed in at 350... but I started the year at 362. My highest ever was 375.5.

Today I am 331.1, so I'm about 35 pounds heavier in this picture than I currently am.... but, it still reflects ME. (However, I have only had light hair ONCE in my life, and it's in this picture)

Okie dokie, here we go! This is not the most recent (from Jan) or complimentary photo, but I think it is a pretty good representation of how I look on average.

Okay ladies here is my before pic taken during a recent cruise to the carribean... you'll notice that I had to blur out my face and the reason for that is that there are certain people in my life who are very jealous, envious , manipulative and I need to be the queen of the show types !! and I dont want them to know that I am doing this, cause I know that they will try to turn into a " oh so that's the only way you could loose the weight" type of deal....I know you guys understand....

Ok this is my most recent pre-operation full body pic. Weight is about 250 or so! My most recent pre-op weight was 243. But that was right before surgery on a completely empty stomach!!

Jenny!

You can put your pictures in your "album" (click on your picture on your posting, and on the right, you should see "album"...... if you haven't created one, do it, and you can upload pictures there) once you've done that, you can use the URL code it gives you to post your picture.

You can also click the "go advanced" button on the window that you're posting on (at the bottom) and you'll get more options..... including a paperclip. Click on the paperclip icon, and you can choose a file from your computer to attach to the posting (which is what I did)

HTH!

Karen,

i knew there was a reason why I liked you !!!!! :tongue2:

Jen,

When you click on "Post Reply" at the bottom under the smiliey faces there is an option that says "manage attachments" it will ask you where to get the file from. If its on your computer click on the first section and search for the file, highlight and click open or attach, then just follow the prompts and this should attach the pic to your posting.

Hi Guys

Here is a 'collage' I made for my journal of photos of me in the years leading up to surgery.

      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!!
