Before Beth Beard got her gastric bypass surgery, she knew she wanted some before and after photos to celebrate the change. And she also knew she wanted to do something different. Yahoo shared her images from “The Beth Project,” a photo series she did with her friend and fellow photographer Blake Morrow.”The decision to have such a drastic surgery was the impetus to make a full change in my life,” says Beard. “The weight has come off by a complete lifestyle change including diet and exercise, there’s no way around that. I had taken myself almost to a point of no return and I knew I needed to make a radical shift. Since the surgery I’ve taken up cycle commuting every day and roller derby.”
