Pictures before surgery

bariatric surgery, weight-loss 1 Minute

Tuesday, September 4, 2018

I had my friend come and help me with my special shower the night before my surgery. I also had her take my measurements as a starting point and I will be updating both my weight and measurements throughout my weight-loss journey.

This is a front view and I was talking when this picture was taken.  9/4/2018

My weight is 300 pounds and these are my measurements B4 surgery.

  1. Arms – 16″
  2. Pecs – 45″
  3. Bust – 52″
  4. Ribs – 47″
  5. Waist – 57″
  6. Hips – 57″
  7. Thighs – 25″
  8. Calves 16 1/2″
  9. Neck – 18 1/2″

Most of my inches are in my stomach area as you can see in the pictures. Hopefully, the next pictures that I take or have taken will be of better quality.

Hi, I'm Laura and I'm 62 years old. I have 5 grown children and 13 grandchildren. I did not think about starting a blog about my weight-loss journey until now (8 mo. later) so I will be going back in my journals and blog from them. My journey is a little different than most peoples because I am disabled and live in an assisted living center and I, therefore, don't cook my own meals. I don't get hungry nor do I get full. I eat at a scheduled time and eat a certain portion size (unless I get to full). I do have control of what I eat and how much I eat. I make a menu for the week and the cooks follow it. Because I'm disabled I use a walker to help balance myself. I walk about 3 miles a day in 12-minute sessions 6 times a day and do 20 minutes of "seated chair" exercises 3 times a day. To learn more about me and how I'm doing read my blog as I post new entries. I will be starting my blog from back on March 19th, 2018 and going forward from there until I get to the current date.
