What's on your (BEFORE & AFTER PHOTO) Friday Menu, RNYers?

Yay it's Friday!
I'm in a lot of pain today with my leg but have done quite a bit of walking while my mom was shopping for a purse at way to many stores. Today has been ok otherwise. Eating is better and on track. I'm exhausted and i'm ready for a nap!
qotd: I did VSG first and was happy until GERD showed up. It was touted as less invasive but we all know the truth to that. Still messing with your internal organs! BUT after my gallbladder was taken out in February of this year it became apparent I needed a revision.
B:PP shake
s:small slice cheese, roasted seaweed snack
l:egg beaters, thank goodness that crap is gone. 1tbs shredded cheese
s:two good yogurt
D:2 ozs shrimp, 1/4 cup green beans
may have some almond milk in a latte and some pho broth.
I'm on my iPad but this is the oldest full face pic with the most recent.

Hi everyone! Friday is my favorite day of the week - it's Venus's day! Hope everybody is enjoying themselves!
You all have more courage than I do to post your before pics! Of course, the heavier I became, the more I hid from the camera, so very few images of me obese have ever seen the light of day.
The house I'm renting has been sold and I have to move - again!!! I am just renting month-to-month, so no lease to protect me, boo. I can't tell you how over the moving experience I am. My last day here is the 23rd - I chose that day to move because it's the fall equinox - the first day of fall - and the first day of Libra (my sign), so I figured it was a good day for a new start. I am really tired of moving though! But the new place is beautiful, so I'm trying to be positive.
QOTD: Originally I thought I'd have a VSG, then decided to go for the RNY after seeing my neighbor stall after hers with at least 75 more pounds to go. My surgeon does a lot of DS surgeries as well and I could have opted for that, but I was more scared of it than of the RnY.
First: coffee coffee coffee!
B: tuna, smoked gouda
K: chicken breast
S: Either eggs or yogurt with blueberries, or both.
Today's weight: 125.4
pre-op weight: 353.6
Height: 5' 8.25"
Age: 65 (good God!)
Surgery date: 6/12/17
No old photos, but I'll add some fairly recent snapshots in a little while.
Edited to add photos. It doesn't look like the tags uploaded. The first photo shows my favorite hat. The second photo was taken a couple of weeks ago in a dressing room - I sent it to a friend to ask if she liked the top, which I did end up buying. (By the way, see how baggy my jeans are in the thighs? This happens with every.single.pair. I try on. Even Spanx jeans do that. I am flummoxed. Where can I find a pair that actually fits?) The third photo, in the blue dress and blazer, was taken this past spring. The last photo shows a dress that makes me look thin!
Have yourselves some fun today, my friends!
