Pre-op vs week 5

Lol it has actually been going really well for me...not so much for my best friend who I have the scale to. 

I did weight myself and I am down 5 lbs, so the stall must be over...I hope. I think I am going to stick with the no scale, things are fitting better and I feel good overall, I am ready to head back to work.

When do you head back?

There is a definite difference between pics. The same clothes are looking big on you. Losing the fullness in your face as well. Congrats on your loss

Thanks :) That striped shirt has been in my "donate" pile for two weeks now, but I just may hang on to it to keep doing comparison pictures. 

So glad I am losing the fullness in my face! No more chipmunk cheeks for this girl!

Ahem!

Chipmunk cheeks are a good thing  :)   Can you just imagine me, without them?

In all seriousness, though -- congratulations on your progress to date.   Well done!

mmm

Looking great! I know exactly how you feel about the photos. I had a huge bday bash for my mom this weekend and I was so stressed out over all the pics I was asked to be in. Sad thing is, I have very few family pics including me. I'm always the one behind the lens. Keep up the awesome job and I'm getting excited to be in your shoes soon. Smile big, cause your doing fabulous and it definitely shows!

Thanks!! Don't worry, you will soon be able to get in front of the camera! I can count on one hand the number of family pics I have, and I hate that. I have a new nephew coming any day now and I am determined to get a photo taken with him the day he's born - unlike my niece who I have one picture with and it wasn't taken until she was a year old! I've got a lonnng way to go, but I am going to make myself get in front of the camera more often now :) Just wait, your time is coming too!!

You look beautiful. Congrats on the lost and you will do amazing.

Thank you! :) You're on your way as well - hopefully you'll post your before and during pictures when you start to notice the difference! 

I have some pre opti ones. But I'm disappointment in my opti lost. I have only lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks.. Not impressed :(

I will have my girlfriends take a pic of me the day I go to hospital also.

congrats again hun!

I forgot to ask if that is 50 lbs after surgery or with your opti fast lost included.

I dont know what to count.

Do I start from my surgery weight? lol
