Pre-op pictures

I keep reading on the blogs to take tons of "BEFORE" pictures so I have something to compare to once the band starts helping.  I really don't like getting my picture taken (who does when you are overweight?) and I find that I am rarely in pictures because the mom is the one always taking them.  I will take the standard shot the day before surgery, but here are some from 6-12 months ago....at my highest weight.

This amazing man has been with me through EVERY size imaginable!  

He says he loves me no matter what size I am.

One of the kiddos!  This picture was about a year ago.

I cringe while looking at the roll of belly fat--that is why I don't like to have my picture taken!

Here's to a better, healthier life. Four days to go!
