Sorry I don't know why my pictures posted that way

Had wls 3-12-2013 in Mexico with Dr. ORTIZ preop 254 day of sugery and after 3 week diet 234 today 134 my goal weight to stay between 125-130. I am an apple shape as you guys can tell and will have to have plastics to remove hanging skin on my stomach, thighs, arms, and back fat, not to mention my breast are in terrible condition should of been at goal weight by now but to many cheat days and not enough exercising I'm joining Planet Fitness today.

5ft1 day of sugery I was 234 now im 140 trying to get down to 130 last 10 pounds is killing me keep going between 137 and 140

It doesn't get any better I started at 254 my initial goal weight was 150 but at 160 new it would have to be much lower so now I am 137 and still feel fat because of my stomach so now I pushed my goal to 130 and I've told myself that at 130 even if I dont like what I see I have to stop. Went from wearing a size 26 pants to a size 12 a size 3x shirt to a lg and that due to needing a bigger shirt to cover my stomach. Just bought my first dress last week a size lg but now need to buy some spanx to look good in it you would think 130 pounds on a 5ft1 inch frame you would be skinny well not for an apple shape. My 1 year is coming up March 12 will post pic then.

Im thinking of either having a protein shake or quest bar every day is that a bad thing especially the quest bar I think of them as candy bar and is there anyone out there who eats quest bars on the regular and still manage to get to goal?

I want to add the Protein shakes for more protein plus it's fast and I don't have to prepare it. I'm 16 pounds from goal and starting to have a hard time staying on track I just did the 5 day pouch test again and I work better when I know what I have to eat and do so for me having yogurt for Breakfast a Protein shake for lunch and just cooking a hot meal for dinner I think would keep me on track and maybe snacking on one Protein Bar throughout the day might help satisfy the sweet craving so I would really appreciate you guys feedback.

I refuse to wear jeans till I buy some padded undies cant wait to have plastic sugery next year

Long story short does anyone know of a store that sells padded underwear I don't want to order online need to try it on first.

March 12 2013 Mi Hospital Dr. Ortiz pre op weight 254, day of sugery 234 now 160 20 more pounds to lose

March 12, 2013 pre op weight 254 sw 230 now 165 I lost 89 pounds 25 more to go.

so I woke up this morning and thought I look at some inspirational pictures now I feel even worse I see a lot of people on here who are bigger than me and look absolutely fantastic I weigh 165 but due to my big stomach I look like I'm about 200 I don't feel sexy I'm wearing about a size 18 pants and I still have 25 more pounds to go I'm trying to stay positive because I know I need to have all this skin removed off my stomach but it's hard when you are self-pay and you can't get the surgery till next year.

I have the gastric sleeve I did it and it worked I went from 182 to 175 one week after the 5 day pouch test and im down from 175 to 170 whatever it did to my body I hope it continues.

Ok ladies I've been fat since the age of 5 I'm almost close to goal 30 pounds more to lose well I want a new look, new hair style, learn how to put on makeup, eyebrows done, fake eyelashes that last about a month without refills, new clothes I don't even know how to clothes shop so basically I want to become a different person. Where do I start, where do I shop for someone who's a young 41 but feels 30, can anyone tell me where I can go in the state of Washington or Portland area who specializes in this transformation.
