First off, all the best to you. 

Besides taking a lot of "before" pictures, take a video of yourself moving. (walking/sitting down,bending etc) when you are thinner it will be 'easy' to forget where you started out. I would also write down how you feel right now as an obese person.

I'm almost 3 years out and sometimes when I'm struggling with grazing or I gain some weight I wish I had those things to look back on for some motivation.

Thanks and I am good to go on the pics. Even being overweight I've never shied from a camera so there's lots of evidence lol

Mine is tomorrow as well. Cheers to the better days we have ahead!

  

It comes down to a simple question: what do you want out of life, and what are you willing to do to get it?

You all will do great. I am one week post op and I am doing great. Take some lip balm to the hospital. You will need it! Prepare yourself mentally for head hunger. That's been my biggest issue. Television is your enemy with all the food commercials lol....
