Default My Before/After Pics
Hi folks,

I've posted a little bit on the forum, but haven't yet uploaded any pics. I am inspired to do so lately as the change in me is so great, and I hope it is an inspiration to all the folks who are pre-op or just starting out. I spent hours looking at before/after photos when I was pre-op and still do even now...the surgery is so amazing in helping us recapture who we are and live life the way we want to, rather than having food dictate our options!

Hope you all enjoy!

The first one is the night before surgery, when I was at my worst weight of 270lbs. The second one is from last night, when i was bold enough to show some curves, at my current weight of 130lbs.

Thanks! It was actually partly seeing your pics from the new/old dress thread that inspired me to post my pics.

Default Thanks everyone!
thanks everyone! it is nice to hear all the kind words and compliments

I also wanted you guys to know, I don't normally dress like that, lol! We had a bit of a wild night out where we went club hopping, and i thought it would be fun to dress up a bit. Usually I'm a much more subdued dresser. I remember when i was looking at pics of folks for before and after that I thought "wow, what a transformation in both clothing and appearance" and while it's true it's fun to explore the cute wilder clothes, I don't do it all the time! Though I have banished baggy from my wardrobe!
