Damn dude, you look good and not to mention super young. Keep up the good work.

Wow, great job. It is very noticeable already. Keep up the good work.

You prob can eat pork/beef if its cooked in a crock pot, as it tends to come out super tender.

Wow you look great!!! Awesome job.

You look great!!! Keep up the good work.

Congrats!!! You're soo close to goal, you can do it. Good luck.

I can personally say from speaking and this is my personal experience. I didn't realize how overweight I was until I wasn't overweight anymore (I still got 40-50 pounds to get to goal) but now I am in normal sized. I didn't realize how bad or how much I ate until I didn't eat that way anymore. I didn't realize how much being overweight dominated my life until it didn't. It's normal to feel nervous and get cold feet so to speak, it is normal. I would submit the paperwork and during that time do a honest self assessment/ evaluation and if you don't think you need it then you don't have to go through with it. If you do choose to have it the. Nothing was lost because you got the ball rolling. In other words most of us get scared and nervous, it's normal, you shouldn't let a few moment of nerves determine your future health. Good luck to you, in whichever path you choose. Just in case you need some inspiration I'm attaching some before and after pics.

I've tried that cereal and I did like it. I stopped buying it because I am a carb addict and cereal in general is not a good way for me to start my day regardless of the protein content. If you can eat it and it does not set you on the wrong track then I say go for it. Good luck.

Damn Girl!!!! You look awesome. Keep up the good work and congrats.

Oh yeah!! It is definitely noticeable you are much more narrow at the hips. Congrats and keep up the good work.

Yes we are worth it!!! We have to remember that we cannot take care of anyone else if we are not healthy enough to take care of our selves.

Honestly the best thing you can do is contact your insurance company and 1. Asks them if you have coverage for bariatric surgery and if you do 2. What are the requirements. Once you get the requirements follow them to a t. I needed a 6 month physician weight loss program, on my 3rd month I went to the doctor and told him that I was not able to exercise as much be wise I just started a school, and I was denied because of that, so I had to redo the whole diet.

A trick that helped me snap out of it, was trying on clothes. I always felt good once I was able to realize my clothes started fitting me big. Good luck and hope you feel better. Ps dancing around my house like a fool also helped me feel better, it may have been my body's release because of the cardio from the exercise.

I've heard about the marbles thing it sounds cook. I've got about 50 more pounds to go and these pounds are gonna be a little harder to come off, so maybe this will keep me motivated.

I always fluctuate anywhere from 2-5 lbs. if the scale tells me I weigh a few more pounds than the last time, I honestly just ignore it. I weigh my self same time every time, it just doesn't seem to matter. Don't beat yourself up about it, it happens and is normal. Good luck to you!!!

FYI... I know your mind is made up, but just to throw in my 2 cents. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and on Friday I was at my cousins wedding. None of my family knew about the surgery yet. I sipped on some soup, traded salad plates with my husband who happily ate my food. I was feeling good enough to get up walk around and greet everyone. I did leave the party at 10:30 which was early considering it wasn't over until midnight, however I doubt anyone missed me. Just some food for thought.

I'm a little under 100 lb loss. And my area was anlittle chubby in the front. I have noticed that it is not as chubby. I can totally see the edge with out even looking, and it doesn't look bad, there is no hanging skin or anything like that. So yes my vajayjay so to speak is no longer chunky. So yes that's one more thing you can look forward to

U of c is in Hyde Park. On 57th and Drexel. It is kind of out of the way, but the good thing is they do all the consults in one day, that does not include any testing you may need. So your psych, dietician, and surgeon consult all in in one day, which really saves a lot of time.

You go girl!!! Looking good, keep up the good work.
