Lovelycurves

Well you look great you have such a beautiful face :-) and a gorgeous body!! Where did you get that cheetah print shirt!!! I sooooooo need it lol!!! I feel you on the whole tummy tuck thing and honestly I never had much breast before so I haven't really lost much there was a small C cup now I'm a B cup. Went from size 24 to a 10-12 which is great! I wear size M-XL shirts depending on where I get them from... I hope to tone my body more I definitely need to work out more! My belly had two belly flaps one at my belly button then the one at my pelvic area :-( my bf keeps telling me holly shit baby you don't need a tummy tuck your belly is toning up great! I have noticed my flap at my belly button is flattening out pretty good... And don't even get me started on my thighs!!! OMG I hate my thighs . They're shrinking but the extra skin sucks and they're still super thick even not looking at the skin. I think that's where most of my weight I'm still over weight is at lol (I'm about 43lbs over weight still...) other than my excess skin my weight is definitely all in my thighs and a little in my belly well congrats to you for doing sooo great!!! And seriously that cheetah print shirt where you get it!! Lol

HW: 350lbs SW AUG 6 2013: 302lbs CW: 193lbs Before & after pics follow

My stats are this surgery date August 6 2013 weighed 302 today 193lbs. Here's my before & after pics :-)

You look great we are super close in stats! I'm going to be 23 in 3week. My surgery was August 6 2013 and I weighed 302 lbs that day (highest weight ever was 350) today I weight 193lbs. You look amazing!! Although I'm 8 months post op . You're doing awesome! I have to say your arms look great and have no excess skin how is that!! I feel like my arms looks horrible cause the skin. Any tips on what you do exercise for your arms?

. Would love this !! Def need some support here in AZ

I appreciate it :-) yes I take pics along with my mom& big take pics of me and sometimes I'm shocked to see them. Also went to the club on Friday and got a pic take with my bfs gorgeous daughter :-) I felt great and looked great lol can't wait for them to post them already so I can see it lol but yeah my mind sometimes sees smaller and other times I see the over 300lbs girl in the mirror and idk it's crazy...

I feel as you do . In clothes I feel like I look good sometimes I feel pretty sexy in clothes... Then when the clothes come off .... EWWWW. I always tell my bf that it's false advertisement... He is so compassionate. He tell me im beautiful and that it's not false advertisement because he loves me. But I just feel so disgusting when my clothes come off :-( I should see a therapist but my dr said that it's just best to get on pills... Which I'm like nah that's not what I want. It's just my mind. You'll get there tho in ONEDERLAND . It took me FOREVER to get below 200. Like was a 4 wk stall then boom in the 190s. I'm at 193 today so I'm only 23 lbs from my goal for my 1yr surgiversary but hopefully by 18mon post op I'll be in the 140s to 150 max. Somedays I feel great about myself some days I don't. It's hard. You look AMAZING btw :-)

tbh I don't feel skinny and believe me I traded in one insecurity for another :-( now instead of fat filled skin it's saggy hanging excess skin lol I feel like I don't fit I to anything but I do lol I just am a little insecure will. My bf has been helping me through it along with family and friends but can't help but feel fat still :-/

Guess it's working good enough for me :-) good luck to you also!! You're doing great can't wait till you're in ONEDERLAND it's an a awesome feeling let me tell you. Tbh I never thought I'd see 100's on the scale EVER again.. But what you know I finally did :-) and can't wait till everyone else is here with me!!

to be honest, my diet is crap. lol my dr isnt really strict on what I can have or not. Long as I do it in portions. I did have the DS and not the RNY so my body does work differently than the RNY. Now depending on hat I eat I can only eat very little or I feel like I eat like a cow lol. I can eat 8oz of soup but only like 2 oz of chicken. My exercise isn't much. I go dancing every Friday night and I run the tread mill for 30 mins once a week plus do this cool machine at gym for 15mins once a week. I'm kinda lazy not gna lie. It feels like it's taken forever to get here but only 23lbs till my goal.

Hope everyone doin well . At 194 lbs now exciting!! Hope everyone else is doing good!

I bruise so easily it's crazy. I've talked to my drs and everything is normal. Although if your platelets are low enough you will bruise or have a bleeding disorder. My platelets are a lil low but dr told me not low enough to cause bleeding issues or bruising. I bruise so bad and so easy especially on arms and legs and my dr told me some people just bruise easily. But check with dr and see if your platelets are low? Other than that for me everything is normal levels so no reason to be bruising easy. I am also 8months post op. So don't worry too much till you have all your blood work done and check thoroughly good luck hope this helps.

Finally in ONEDERLAND!!!

Hello everyone. Had my biopsy on Thursday now get results on Thursday this week... Can't wait cause honestly wanna know of I have cancer or not... Also, today is a good day I am at 201 lbs! Only 2 lbs till wonderland lol can't wait to get there. I'm just going crazy not losing as much a month as I'd like. How's everyone's progress...

Hey everyone how you all doing? I am at 205lbs today. Dwn from 350lbs at my highest dwn not quite 100lbs from surgery. Feeling great. I have an amazing bf and family. My mom just had double mastectomy on Friday so glad she made it through that. I have my biopsy of liver tomorrow and I'm extremely scared to find out what's going on plus scared of how bad that's gna hurt... Anyways how's everyone doing? I'm in a size 10/12 and wearing anywhere between m-XL shirts :-) I do have some bad excess skin but it's slowly tightening up... Hopefully it'll tighten up more. How's everyone tho ?

Look what I woke up to on the scale for today :-) so excited !! My boyfriend and I have a bet of who gets to 190lbs first. When we made this bet he was at 212lbs and I was at 225lbs. Today I'm at 208 and he was at 210 yesterday lol I'm winning so far! Only 8 more lbs till ONEDERLAND!! This feels like a dream because I haven't been this little in Years! I wear a size 12-14 and L-XL shirts omg this seems so unreal but it's sooo real! Yay

Well I now have some pretty big 5.5cm and 3.5cm tumors on my liver. I was supposed to get a biopsy but my dr doesn't want to unless there's changes in April/may when they do another MRI of my liver. Otherwise my only problems is eating too much or drinking too much too fast I'm still learning my new stomach. Lol but otherwise I'm healthy and happy :-)

My surgeon said that sometimes that happens where people don't lose the first 4 weeks after surgery he's seen it happen . And then on the next apt they lose a grip load of weight. I am almost 7 months post op (surgery was August 6 2013) and I've lost approximately 100lbs. I am down 140lbs from my highest weight and I've had TONS of stalls :-/ I actually just got over a stall of 6weeks and dropped 12 lbs in less than a week. This happens sometimes maybe adjust your protein intake get a lil more in and try to increase your water this sometimes helps me along with more exercise if your body will allow you. Good luck :-)

Hello everyone I had the DS on August 6 2013 and I wouldn't change it for anything. I have felt on days that I regretted it but I'm also having a few problems after this surgery but all in all this has made me feel great. I have lost 140lbs all together but since my surgery I've lost about 100lbs I wouldn't hangs it for the world. I cannot wait to see the rest of my progress as time goes by. I am dwn from 350 to 210lbs so that's exciting. Any advise all you vets have for newbies like me?

Oh and can post skin pic if no one get offended

Hey ladies well I'm at 210lbs and size 12/14 in women. I started at 350lbs back in 2012 and day of surgery 302 lbs . Here's pics from this weekend :-)

Don't be jealous beautiful! I'm really not doing much a little exercise around my house and I walk a lot. To be honest my diet isn't the greatest because I can eat anything and it doesn't get me sick except sugar oh does sugar get me sick and goes right through me and that's no fun. But I eat pretty much anything but in portions. I have only lost about 90 lbs since surgery and I had my surgery on August 6 so actually you're doing better than I am cause yours was on the 26th! Just keep doing what you're doing michele1az where do you love? There should be support groups you can go to! I am in az and I need to start going to to these support groups but I haven't . You're doing great tho! Don't get yourself down! Anytime you wanna talk tho message me on here
