before/now face pic & my lunch pic at 12 mths postop

Going through pictures, and loved seeing the difference in this before shot and current pic of me.  Wow! What a difference one year makes.  I'll be one year postop tomorrow.  I also included a picture of my lunch today.  I made my husband some venison steaks and noodles..(i don't like venison, and I don't eat pasta) so I ate cottage cheese and cheese.



my lunch...1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1.3oz reduced fat cheese..190 cal & 20 gr protein



Measuring definitely helps.  I've been saying I could eat 1 cup of cottage cheese, but I finally measured it out today, and I only eat 1/2 cup.  If I didn't eat the cheese I could eat a bit more cottage cheese though.  I do normally try and eat dense protein but these are my quick foods I grab when I don't have anything else handy.  I was full and satisfied w/this for lunch.

Anyhow..just thought I'd share!  Thanks for looking!

You look awesome!! Thanks for sharing.

thank you..and your welcome.  I remember spending hours looking for before/after type pictures when I was a preop..and now that I actually have photos where you can tell a difference in my looks..I want to 'pay it forward'..pictures help so much!!

Thats what I love to do.  Look at all the pic's.  I have taken my before and also my measurements.  Hopefully I will be adding pic's to the before and afters!

I wish they would update the websites home page.  Alot of those are really old and I have to go through all the same ones every time I go to look at them!  I also wi**** said what type of surgery they had!
