Hi everyone!

So today is my 9 months post-op DOS 04/02/2012 Initial WT 270 CW 155lbs. I'm doing great so far, can't complaint about ANYTHING cuz everything has been an amazing journey with off course its ups and downs but so damn worth it!

When I started my journey I didn't know that I was gonna be able to reach my ideal wt of 130-140lbs. I'm very positive that by my surgyversary I will be on that ideal wt but if not I'm gonna keep on going with my goal until I reach it!

I'm gonna attached some pictures so you guys can see the after sx body. I'm planning to do plastic surgery hopefully on 2014 will see how my pocket will be by then lol.

Congrats to all of us for such a tremendous courageous way to say I'M tired of been unhealthy and I'm ready for a life change!!! ;)

Hi!

That is correct, we had worked hard on this! So I'm looking to have a total body lift (tummy tuck, breast lift with possibly implants, tights, and probably my arms if they look bad on 130lbs but so far they look okay (not scary looking lol). My tummy is the worst so far but is NOT that bad either so I'll see what my budget will get me to do! I'll keep y'all post it ;)

I remember what your profile pic looked like when we started this journey and you look absolutely stunning. Your skin is glowing and everything. Your surgery was about 2 weeks behind mine and I've lost 105 lbs with 20 more to go. My surgery was March 21st 2012 so hopefully we'll both make our goal! Congrats and keep up the good work :)

Omg hi Panda! I do remember you as well! Yeah we were wks apart. How you been? You look great! You know what, the only thing that I noticed is that unfortunately I been getting obsess in loosing wt, like I wanna loss more. Like basically EVERYONE that knows me keep telling me "hey don't loss any more lbs you look great and etc" but inside myself I'm not completely happy where I am! Like I really wanna be 130lbs (it might sound stupid/cocky) but its how I feel, and what I want! And I'm constantly scare of gaining wt! So this is the only down part of my process that I'm getting obsess with my wt! LOL But hey I guess it's a good thing overall.... ;)

Lmao! Going through the same thing. I work out most days twice a day but definitely everyday. I can't quit obsessing if I don't work out so I have to everyday! I read and scan EVERYTHING that I put into my body. My peers have accused me of being addicted to exercise. I still weigh 180 lbs though. Trying to get to 160.

      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.
