Well Hello Sweet Peas!



Recommended Posts

Hello a few of you have asked me to share my success story and how I have been able to maintain 144 lb weight loss for the past 4 years with no extra skin. Although my story may not be the same for you all I was fortunate enough to not have a lot of excess skin. I am a firm believer in weight training and resistance training consistency is key!! We all fail, we all have bad days do not!!! Beat yourself up.. just pick up where you left off.. I would be more than happy to sen you a copy of my sample work out and meal plan. “a day in the life of G” Love you all

That was then!!! This is now!!!! Love you all!

You look amazing, congratulations.

But, keep in mind that some people are going to have excess skin no matter how much they weight train or work out. Whether or not someone has excess skin comes down genetics, age, skin elasticity, whether or not someone smokes, how much weight they lose and how long they have been overweight. It's unfortunate but if any number of these factors are working against you, there is nothing you can do about the excess skin except plastic surgery.

Best wishes.

I agree!

That is why I said my results may not be the same for everyone. I smoked for years and have been overweight my entire life, I would love the surgery on my arms. But I don’t blame anything on genetics etc... it’s all an excuse sorry it is. That’s the same excuse I used when I was FAT. All results vary I do agree with that. But I did have a lot!!! of excess skin on my stomach. I do a rigorous crunch session every day. No excuses I work very very hard, I tried this last step before getting a Tummy Tuck. It worked.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
