Five months post-op pics
Thank you everyone for your kind words! I am so pleased with my progress, it's feels like aging backwards. :)
About the shirt - my original thought was to take a monthly picture in the same shirt for comparison (and this just happened to be a shirt where I had a good pre-op picture). But now it has gotten so big, it's hard to really see the weight loss!
I take swimsuit pictures, too (UGH!!) so I can get a better idea of the changes. But should I scrap this big ole shirt and just do monthly pictures in something nice? The brown shirt is so big, the only time I wear it is for pictures.
Seriously - as soon as my clothes get to where I'm feeling frumpy - I take 'em to Goodwill! I'm not losing all this weight to feel dumpy/frumpy. Fortunately, I have had a couple friends pass clothes to me, so I haven't had to buy too much.
What do you all do for before/during pictures? Same clothes? Size appropriate clothes?
