KSTUZ 438 Posted April 21, 2016 I haven't been on here in FOREVER. But figured I would update! Sleeved on Jan 5th 2015 Picture on left is from my sisters wedding march 2014 Right is TODAY! down 130lbs. Best thing I've ever done!! ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1460827861.949249.jpg Oh my... Is it getting hot in here or is it just @@KSTUZ?! Sent from my phone, please forgive brevity and misspelling Wow! You look AMAZING!! Have you had to have any plastic surgery? I am 51 and know I will need abdominoplasty, breast lift, arms and legs done by the end of this journey! I have NOT. Not yet. Haha I am 35, I was prayyyyying that I wouldn't But guess my skin isn't bouncing back the best it should. BUT-I am healthy. I feel amazing. And I'm not really that concerned about it I'm learning to love myself, including my flaws. My stretch marks and hanging skin, for now, are a constant reminder of WHERE I came from. I'm ok with it. I have insecurities without a doubt, but nothing a tight tank can't hold in, haha. But I would need my upper thighs lifted and stomach. And breast augmentation would be wonderful, I just need to find a way to pay for it all hahahha! But for now, I'm just loving being able to shop, not be sweating 24/7 and to actually MOVE! Do whatever makes you happy with yourself! Everyone's pictures are truly inspiring!!???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeletedMember 715 Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) I have actually lost only 13 lbs since surgery (3 weeks out)and I'm trying to figure out why an I not losing. I have my Protein and right now I'm only on soft food but my weight don't seem to be moving. I still have an old pic of me at my highest weight on the front of my phone so that keeps me motivated but I just wish my scale would move.. Lol It's way too early to worry. At 3 weeks I would have said "I've only lost 17 lbs". But that's because I lost 17 lbs in about 10 days then went into a stall. My stall was 14 days and yet I have still lost 25 lbs in the first month. I'll take it. Edited April 21, 2016 by msujester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm just going to pray and stay focus. Sometimes I question myself did I make the right decision and I hate to feel like that.
