Thanks everyone

No cosmetic surgery yet, my skin is loose & I hate it. I think I have at least 3-5 lbs of loose skin on my lower abdomen , I have loose skin on my inner thighs, & loose skin on my arms, gross. My boobs are gross & sagging , definitely need a boob job, went from a 42 D to a 38 B Very glad to have lost the weight, but now have to try to workout & sculpt this skin or save money for cosmetic surgery . Glad to have a supportive husband who doesn't care either way . But I want it done. Thanks for the compliment

You look good , Congrats !!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, I'm only 5 2" tall . Lol

Thanks everyone. I have reached stalls , like every 2-3 weeks I'm at a stall. When this happens I try my best to lower my calories & exercise more. Problem with that is that I'm not getting enough nourishment . I only eat about 500-700 calories a day. Dr said at this point I should be eating at least 900-1100 calories a day. He also said the last 20-30 lbs are the hardest to take off. Now there are days when I over eat & have carbs & sugar & yes I know I'm not suppose to , but my stomach doesn't reject it & I feel fine, until I over do it . So I cheat every now & then. That's usually when I have my stalls. I wish you all good luck on this incredible journey of your new life as a skinny person . I love it . We all go through different stages & weight lose is different for each individual , but don't get discouraged if your losing at a slower rate, just remember , before the surgery , how long did it take us to lose anything ? I know for me, it took me over a yr just to lose 20 lbs. so I'll take the1-3lbs every 2 weeks. You will lose it , you will reach your goal. You will be happy . Don't give up, it will get better Have a great Easter everyone !!

Thanks !! Yes BMI is in normal range, body fat % is in range too . I feel great. . Guess if I really wanted to stop losing & stay at this weight I could.

I'm having surgery on Sept. 26 , in Bakersfield , CA , through Baratric Solutions , Dr. Irani . Has anyone had him or had surgery at the San Joaquin Community Hospital ? Sent from my iPhone using VST

You look fabulous !!

My youngest son can finally put his arms completely around my waist , that makes me feel so good. Enjoying my new body, new life. So glad I had this surgery . Just had to share . This is the only place I can share my feelings, never on Facebook , my friends just don't understand & everyone here does. Very glad this site exist .

Thanks everyone .

I'm finally in the one digit pant size!!! I'm a size 9, I'm so happy right now I could cry. I haven't been this size , in God knows how long. I'm almost to my goal . Just had to share !!! 60 lbs lost so far, I was sleeved 9/26/12

Thanks everybody

Going good. A little slow, but slow is better than nothing at all, like before. I was sleeved 9/26/12, I've lost 60 lbs so far. I have 26 lbs to lose to reach my goal, so I'm almost there. All the waiting is worth it, good luck on your journey

Surgery went great, I had to do 2 wks liquid diet pre op, which sucks. But worth it . After my first visit with him it took 6 months to have surgery, because of my insurance . They required a 6 month weight loss first with my primary care dr & a full medical evaluation with specialist .

Ok I know I'm not suppose to eat them, but I must confess I had 6 baked chips. Chewed them till they were mush. How does it affect the stomach? It didn't hurt & the 6 chips filled me up. I just want to know what it does to the stomach. I'm 17 wks out.

My BMI was 38 . Wow 11 wks out , your doing great , congrats !! I'm honestly not starving , I think my body is use to my eating habits now. But I usually have stalls that last up to 2 wks , I've had 4 stalls since surgery . Good thing is I'm still losing . Any advice to stop stalls would be great .

Thanks
