Before and After pictures ...

Shelli,

Be sure to take photos at least every month. Try to get full body, front, back and profile shots because it really is so hard for us to see the metamorphosis that is occuring. I think that sometimes it's because our heads are playing games with us, sometimes it's because we are just really starting to truly 'look' at ourselves and see what we look like, I think it's multifaceted. I promise that you will be grateful for having the photos document your decent. It will really help to see where you have been and how far you have come.

I'm looking forward to your photos.

Before, in March 2007 at a cousin's wedding.  This was six months before surgery:

One year later, in March 2008, going to another wedding, this time feeling much better - almost 100 pounds lost at this point:

And here is a fairly recent headshot, from late summer - a little over 130 pounds lost, weight close to stabilizing:

And here are the full shots - this one from the day of surgery, about 238 pounds:

This is March 2008, about 165 pounds, size 12:



This was from this summer, at around 130 pounds:

And finally, these last two are from yet another wedding this summer...the dress was a Junior's size Small.
