Tomorrow is my VSG surgery. Since I decided to have the procedure I've been eating/drinking less/better. First shots are back in April, not sure the exact date. Second set, today, 5/16/11 the evening before my surgery.

I warned you it would be ugly.

The files are too large (no pun intended) so had to post links instead. From here you will find the three others in the group. EDIT - guess that won't work, here are all the links.

I could only see one picture,  not so bad,  you'll be looking much better in no time.  Good luck tomorrow,  walk, sip, rest and repeat.   Be very good to yourself this first month.  I hope you have an easy time of it as i had :o) jeani

EDIT: Now that I've seen all the pics (I only saw one the first time too)

Wow, already a definite difference.  Hmm... maybe I should have my husband take some pics of me now so I can compare to the ones he took a few months back...

 I'm having my surgery within 2 weeks, we shall be different people 6 months from now :)

I see an amazing person, taking control of his health and his life. I bet you just can't wait :grin:

I took before pictures too, and yeah I think mine are ugly too. But they'll forever be a reminder of where we don't want to ever be again.

Cheers and goodluck tomorrow!!! Make sure to post back and let us know when you're out safely :-)
