All i can say is WOW!!!

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

I know when I started this journey I was inspired by those who would post before/during and afters. The journey is not always easy - I try very hard to stick to my plan - 65-80 grams Protein per day, 60+ ounces H20 and I try to avoid junky carbs. Do I avoid all carbs no, no, no - but I do not over do it. Carbs are the devil for me!

I work out with a trainer 2-3 times per week - focusing on weight training - that is what attribute my arms to - I have very little lose skin there. I am also very luck to be tall 5;8" so that helped me - my weight was pretty evenly distributed over my entire body - the only issues I have is wrinkly lose skin on my lower tummy and my new pre-puberty boobies! My stomach does not have folds or flaps - that I know I would have had it I was 5 inches shorter...but it does bother me...lots. I will look into a mini Tummy Tuck once I have maintained for awhile.

Thanks again for the support everyone. This forum has been my #1 support system. I found my sleeve sister on this site - and we met in Mexico and had surgery the same day....love you Davida! And to all the others here who have been so supportive and honest - thank you! I wish I had the opportunity to meet some of you personally one day - you are all such an inspiration to me!

OH - PS - the Little Black Dress.... Calvin Klein size 8 - got it at the outlet store - tag said $148 - I paid $8!! Lol I love clothes shopping now and all the wonderful options!

Wow!! you look awesome!! I wish my arms looked as good as yours - I have been going to a gym 3 days a week and lifting some weights to help hopefully. But i'm sure they won't turn out as good as yours. GREAT JOB!!

What an inspiration you are! I have the same goal weight as you; 155 lbs. You are my WLS poster woman...I would love to look so wonderful!

And my partner will point out, "see, she works out...with a trainer even!" Your arms look fantastic and you are right, it is from the weight training; great job! Congrats again!
