I can't believe I never posted any pictures! Here's a few...keep in mind that my "before" photos were few and far between because I avoided the camera whenever possible. I'm 5'1.3" (gotta count that extra bit) and was 242 pounds on surgery day. I wore a snug 18/20 and XXL shirt. I'm now easily maintaining between 134-138 and wear 4-6/small.

No plastics yet, but I can't wait for them! What you don't see is the heavy duty girdle I'm wearing under everything. I have a lot of loose skin. Not only did I lose a bit of weight but I had twins four years ago. They did a number on me and everything has gone south (literally) since I lost the weight.

But thank you, compliments are lovely. :) I am very careful about what I wear and while I'm not exactly hard on myself it's very important to me that I look shapely in my clothes. It's bad enough that I feel uncomfortable naked so there's no way I'm going to feel self-conscious dressed, too!

Well let me tell you,you cannot tell at all so you must be doin somethin right! =) I have twins also! 13 month twin girls! They are my world(along with their older brother and sister) but they did a number on my tummy too. I carried the twins full term and they were 7 lbs each! Not to mention my older two kiddos are only 4 yrs old and 2 yrs old so I have been basically havin babies for the past 5 yrs! :lol: My stomach already looks horrible so I know there is no hope there besides a Tummy Tuck which will be in my near future after getting to goal. But I hope to salvage my arms,legs and butt...lol. I think a boob job may be in my future too but I'll have to get closer to goal to be for sure. But anyway,you look awesome,hope I look half as good at goal!

OH!! My twins were 7 lbs each too!!! 37 weeks worth of stretched out belly. Now it looks like a bag of wet laundry hiding under my shirt. Hopefully soon the bag will be empty! :lol:

=) Love my fellow twin mommies. =) My girls are just to the point where they are getting into EVERYTHING,add my 2 1/2 yr old daughter in the mix along with my 4 yr old son,and you have a crazy house! LOL But I wouldn't have it any other way,the only down point was my weight,and now that is just melting away so I think all is great in this crazy house!

Oh and the skin...ughhhhh before I even knew I was carrying twins(found out at 12 weeks) I could feel my lower stomach being stretched. My tummy is awful,no cocoa butter,walking,vitamin e,lots of Water did anything. =(

Say what?! Is this now a twin momma thread?! :D I went 37 weeks with my two but wasn't surprised when they were only 5 pounds each. Now they're four. It's fantastic and fun and so much easier than it was two years ago! AllForMy4, you sound like my friend - she has a son that's four, 2.5 year old twins and a one year old son. Whenever I think life in my house is crazy I give her a ring!

Actually, I only gained 65 pounds with the twins so it was just the serious stretching that got me. I'm short and didn't have a whole lot of room for two babies, even small ones. I gained 97 pounds with my first pregnancy so I figure I did pretty well.

Maybe we need to start a twin mommy thread in the women's forum or something...

      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.
