You are all an inspiration. I hope I am at goal in 1 year which is coming up fast. My husband is a trip. We go out and he walks behind me and keeps saying I look great. He says people would never recognize me from the rear. He says my butt and legs are so small. I must have been a real mess from the rear before LOL.

I'll have to post more pictures when I'm feeling better from my corset trunkplasty. I can't get over how tiny I look now that the 12 pounds of excess skin is gone!

Kristie how are you doing after your skin removal surgery? You look fantastic! I will need to have some repair work done as well with all of my excess skin, but I need to get to my goal and stabilize a bit. Did you go to Mexico for surgery or have it done in the states?

Thank you! I am getting a little bit better every day. Since I had the surgery I'm down 15 pounds (he removed 12 pounds of skin). I had my surgery in Lexington Ky. I'm just not comfortable going to Mexico for something so major.

I hope you are feeling well - I am a bit nervous about Mexico as well but it sounds as though many folks have had great success with those docs - I have a bit to go until I stabilize so I have plenty of time to consider all the options. I always wonder how much the extra skin weighs - it has got to be at least 10 lbs on each of my thighs.

I am doing ok. I have had a complication develop with one of incisions & I have an abcess. Struggling to feel somewhat normal.

      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.
