@Bri_Guy Thank you so much! I am very happy! Good luck to you in your surgery! @Jen727BF Thanks! @ckfaith Thank you!! @Pea523 Thank you! Insurance has approved it! The revision extra skin surgery I might need when I get to goal will not be covered though. @Pazza Aww! Thank you so much! @melskee55 Thank you so much!! @beege Thank you! I can't wait to get to goal! @Sweet as peaches Aww! I'm glad I could share my story with you! It is so hard to be so big! I wish you the best of luck in your journey! For reference I am 5'10!

@Sosewsue61 I am very happy! Thank you! @charsarie How far out from surgery are you? If you are having issues I suggest calling your doctor! I did have issues with extreme nausea for 6 months after the surgery. So severe I did not eat or drink anything for over a month and had to get a picc line in order to infuse fluids and nutrients. I suggest giving your doctor a call! @Julie norton Thank you! I am still surprised when I fit places I never could before! I am still in the mentality of "I cant fit there or do that because I'm so fat" But I'm not anymore! @SuaniyaThank you so much! @Middus Thanks!! @ChaosUnlimited Thank you so much!! That outfit is from Torrid! I love that store! lol @#fitnotfat Thank you so much! I'm kind of nervous but also excited!

Hey! So I am not at goal yet but when I get there I really want to get a breast life and augmentation to refill me breasts. My mom is very against it because she knows several people who got augmentations who are in pain all the time. They had it done after cancer though. Has anyone gotten it done and experienced pain nonstop after? I understand it will be painful right after, but this is long term pain she is talking about.

@HeatherS.I'm so sorry to hear you are always in pain. Thank you for your feedback. @DjmohrThank you so much for your feedback! That's what I'm hoping to get done. I'm glad to hear it was a good experience for you! @Sosewsue61 That is something to consider. I do not have any children as of now and I am undecided on whether or not I want to have them. Thank you for that information to think about! @ssflbelleI'm so sorry to hear of your troubles! I hope they are resolved soon! It is terrible to feel disgusting and I hate looking at my body naked right now which makes it hard since I am trying to date.

@sjfinkI'm glad you had such great results!

@SassyScienceNerd Thank you! I really am! I'm planning on doing an indoor sky diving thing soon! @chynadoll619 Thank you!! I just meant a revision to my extra skin removal on my stomach. I may need to have an additional surgery once I meet goal since I still have about 100 pounds to go! @madamlashThat you so much! @sarahbluAww! Thank you so much! I'm just glad I get to share my journey with people who understand! @Deactivatedfatgal Thank you so much! It would be for the extra skin on my stomach. I may need more removed once I reach goal.

My weigh in for this week is 295!

@Newme17Thank you!! I definitely smile more now! @kimba21539That's great! Good luck on your surgery! I'm glad I could share my story with you!

@kimba21539 Thank you so much!

@The New KelAww! Thank you!! It's true! I feel like a brand new person. I can finally start to be the person I have always wanted to be but was hindered by my weight in the past. @Redmaxx Haha! Thank you!

If I have enough material I will do that. My breasts are completely flat though when not in a bra, they just hang there deflated. [emoji23]

@Ms. BrightsideThank you!!

@hardwork&dedication It is nerve wracking to me as well. I have having the extra skin on my stomach removed on June 5th even though I am not at goal yet. It is very large already and giving me issues so insurance is covering it, I will have to pay for my revision when I get to goal out of pocket though. I also will want a thigh lift and as mentions a breast lift. I may or may not want my arms done too. They don't bother me as much as my thighs and breasts. My surgeon said he does not recommend the thigh surgery though and quotes a 90% complication rate.

@Navigating the Wilderness It's hard not to sometimes but I feel pretty with clothes.

@Scamp Thank you, yeah I tried to explain how my breast are completely flat when not in a bra and I am only 30 years old and I feel disgusting and that it's my body and I want to feel good about it. She backed off a little but not completely. I was hoping to get some positive feedback I could show her so she could feel better about it.

@Airstream88 Thank you!

@michelle12rose Hello! That's great! If you would like to join the challenge just give me what you would like your weight to be on June 2nd and then you post your weight each week on this post.

@optimist92 It's very nice of you to want to help your friend, I'm also glad you did not go to her first with this. As others have said, she is only a few weeks out from surgery. Surgery affects everyone differently. I do not do well after surgery. It is good for her to walk around a bit but she may not feel up to taking long walks. Maybe just suggest you both take a lap around the house every so often, that's all I was up for for several weeks after surgery. I had complications so I was weaker than most though. Being on liquid is never fun either. I also was looking forward to the food I could eat. If she can eat soft food, she can eat pureed. What really helped me what making food I liked but just pureeing it. It tasted good it was just mushy. Foods cooked in a crock pot are best for pureeing.

That is a nice feeling! I also don't always recognize myself!

@dominto Thank you!
