oh man...these before pics are quite the eye opener









I had my husband take some pics of me last night, so I would have some before shots...and man oh man, they are bad. I haven't seen full body pictures of myself in a long long time, and here is the evidence why. I look horrible! and this is after losing 17lbs. I almost didn't post them, I am not liking them at all...but I want to have accountability, and I want to be able to look at them to remind myself why I am doing what I am doing. These are the jeans Jen sent me (Thanks Jen your amazing) and they are starting to get too big on me, so I will be passing them on soon....
Well, I better get to bed, tomorrow is my big surgery day!

  2. Susie,
    If you haven't already, you should take your measurements! Do it after surgery if you have to, but get a good baseline starting point and during the times when the weight might get stalled, you'll be losing inches and this will be some positive feedback for you. I have mine and will be doing a 2 month after banding re-check to see how things have gone! Good luck.

  3. Ooh so fun to see you in those jeans, but yes you definitely need new ones. Maybe try washing them in hot water so they shrink up a bit? Hope you're safely out of surgery at this point and feeling good. I'm so excited for you Susie!!

  7. You are a beautiful lady, big or small - and it's going to be so exciting to see yourself shrink - and then try and hold you away from a camera!! Bunches of good luck for your surgery date. A new curve in your life is about to begin. xx

    I remember the night before surgery REALLY questioning did i need the lap band? after taking my pics, i cried and realized i should have done this a year ago!
    It's the BEST decision of my life!
