Hello everyone,

Welcome new members & congrats to old & new members on WLS. I had WLS May 30, 2012 I reach under weight goal. From 211 to currently 115.. I weight goal was 125 size 7 but I'm size 2 and small all over. I was excited to finally be slim but now I'm dealing with saggy skin. I was in a when should I have plastic surgery. I was determine to get plastic surgery August 2014. I was struggling so much to get money together & to top it off I have 3 kids. I came to a decision that I will have my surgery in August 2014 and I will 35,000 by then. I did all my calculation. My hubby who has never been in agreement with this will help me pay for my surgery. My mother who owe me money will start paying me in May. I'm excited extremely happy determine to have things my way.

Plans after surgery recovery is 6 weeks & since my daughter will be 17 at that time she will take care of me & her siblings. I will give her money to help her out in her savings. When I'm determine for something it turns out great.

Thanks for reading & it's not over you have to continue exercising & eating healthy to continue with weight lost. We didn't get fat over night so over night we won't slim down neither.

I'm sorry...I hate when docs don't encourage you! Mine said to expect 2-4 pounds a week so you're doing great by that standard, If it helps at al :/. Keep on keeping on and you'll get there!!!

Hey short stuff lmbo that's what they call me but your like my sister height. You must be part of my family. I reach goal weight of 125lbs around 4 months post up then at 6 months post up I reach 115lbs then recently I lost 2 more lbs leaving me at 113lbs. I need to go back to 125lbs since I don't have enough fat to have it transfer to my butt. Now I'm struggling to put on weight but I have till next year to gain before a body make over. I'm way under my doctor goal & I know he will be shock in July when he see me & I hope he can advice me on gaining a little weight since I really need plastic surgery but for now I'm happy with my success. I feel I did slim down quickly but I stall a lot 2 months 3 months but it all melted away. I'm all saggy skin & only have enough fat to fill up my deflated boobs lmbo

You are doing great as mention. I was in a hurry to slim down & for what lmbo like my mom says I don't have enough fat to roll up a pastelitos (that's empanada for Central American people)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
