You look amazing! Tell how did you get those arms so toned? I have large arms and that is one of my concerns

I do have some excess skin on my arms, belly, and thighs, which is why my arms are covered in the second to last photo because I don't like the way it looks in pictures. My dr said that my excess skin is not as bad as it could be because I do a lot of exercising, weight training and always getting in all of my liquids and Protein in everyday. He says that I may not end up with much excess skin at all if I keep doing what I'm doing because it takes up to 2 years before the skin is done shrinking. I'm just really good at hiding my excess skin. I have noticed here lately that I don't have as much as I did a couple months ago. I also use a high moisturizing lotion everyday, sometimes twice a day if I remember. Hope this helps.

Great Job! How many days a week do you exercise?

Thank you, I try to workout at least 5 days a week. Most of the time I do, but sometimes I don't. Just depends what I got going on. I'm fixing to start training to do a half marathon in April.

You look amazing! It gives me such hope. I would be happy just to get down to 185. I'm at 331 right now, haven't been sleeved yet. Your photos give me hope that I'll make it.

      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.
