Stick to your decision, and tell them that it's nice that they care, but what you need right now is no detractors from YOUR decision. Then full speed ahead, start preparing your supplies, test some protein shakes, get excited!!! Good luck.

I totally understand. I had pushback from one person... thankfully I was able to just cut them out. They were worried that I’d be “hotter” than them... no care about my health. Got rid of them VERY quick. In the end, you need to do what’s best for you [emoji173]️ just keep letting them know how important it is to you and that their support is very vital especially in these early stages! My surgery date is April 25 so I’m happy to be a surgery buddy/support person for you

Congratulations! You are outstanding! Keep up the great work!

Best of luck and congrats!!

Congratulations!! What an accomplishment [emoji16]

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing such inspiring progress!

To the person that modded my post as sad, thank you, thank you very much. It's not sad at all. In fact this could be very helpful.

winter weather causes dry lips could just be that time of year dehydration is a big factor and low levels of vitamin b2 and b3 our surgery can cause numbers 2 and 3 but blame mother nature for number 1

@@WitchySar I started off at your height and weight. My start weight when I saw the Dr is not my highest weight. First of all, just because you lose weight there is no guarantee you will lose your boobs. What size were your breasts in middle school and high school? I started off a 48-50 DD, and now I am a 40G/F depending on the cut, on my way to a 38?? My breasts have not changed, just my band size. If you have a legit large amount of breast tissue, it is not going to go anywhere. I have batwings from hell, the stomach on my skin is wrinkly. I'm not done losing yet. One thing to keep in mind is, that it changes almost daily. My body is changing up and how my body and my skin looks change all the time. I think in the end, it won't be that bad. I can point out all my flaws in my full length mirror when I don't have clothes on, but with clothes on I look like a curvy dream. Men like it. I'm not in a relationship but I have no problems attracting men when I am out. I have dated since surgery, and like I said clothes off, you can definitely tell I have lost a lot of weight and I have wrinkly skin on my stomach, but men don't really care, not one has ever commented about it. Men see T and A. and they don't care too much about what is in the middle, especially if you have other attributes. The last guy I told I wanted a boob lift said his hands could do that for me The health benefits of losing weight far outweigh my skin issues even if I whine about them all the time. Like @@AvaFern, I am shallow and vain but I never worried about lose skin when starting this process, because I knew that was fixable in the end with a lot of different things, but I didn't have a lot of options when it came to high blood pressure. I also really wanted to lose weight fast as possible so I could reap the benefits. If it takes me years to work on the skin it doesn't matter.

I think at your weight loose skin should be the least of your concerns, getting healthy should be... Money can always be found somewhere to afford surgery "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
