Here are my before and now photos. I cannot even tell that I've lost over 50lbs! It's very depressing for me to see these photos, not to mention that it is a HUGE step to post these on the internet. I can see my weight loss in my face and in the clothing sizes that I'm able to wear now, nontheless, I don't like looking at these photos.

Speaking of faces, I thought this was an interesting before-and-after. The one on the left was taken in 2001, and the one on the right a couple of weeks ago. Even I think I look younger now! :D

The before pictures are from 2000 - that is a ways before my surgery but I was very resistant to having my picture taken so I had to dig deep! The now pictures are from mid Sept 2005.
