Just uploaded pre-op pics (included). More horrifying than expected!

I'm about 1/2 way through my pre-op diet and figured that I better get my before photos taken.

While I know that I'm fat - I seriously thought I had more of a waist & figure than I do!

Guess i've never taken such an exposed photo.

Usually when the camera is around I:
a) am wearing spanx plus another cami compression garment
b) hide my body behind a person or purse
c) strike a pose to appear slimmer

I'm so looking forward to next week and getting on the losing side of the process. I'm also looking forward to ditching my old photo vices.

I'm 5'10" - HW 264 lbs - lost 9lbs pre-op diet - SW 255 lbs

You are so beautiful! Don't worry, in no time you will look on the outside, how you feel in the inside! You are doing great with your pre-op! It is hard work, but well worth it! You are beautiful!

Nice pic. We are our own worst critics.... I am so happy we have to share our stories once we are out of the hospital.

You have a really nice shape. Your going to smokin" hot when the weight starts to come off. And your lucky, because God has blessed with you great bone structure, plus you look muscular.

You're going to be soo happy you have these photos!!!

Also, you're going to have even more fun taking your pictures as you go. For me looking in the miror everyday I couldn't see how much I had changed until I actually compared 2 photos... Then it really sunk in!!

Congrats to you on your upcoming surgery... wishing you the best on your journey!
