I am pre-op, My Surgery date is November 26, HOPEFULLY! I am at 270 down from 286, I started my calories counting and Portion Control in June 26 this year, So, 16 pounds in 3 months... =( I am having some procedures done October 2nd and hopefully the date is final. And I can be ready to start the new life. Did you get a tuck? Because you really look amazing. Great Job. If not help a girl out and share your secret to avoid massives amount of loose skin, like I already have some... =(

Congrats on the 16 pounds! Oct is going to come so fast! I had a super hard time in the beginning - eating or drinking. The secret is exercising everyday. Some days I can't do anything and I literally will walk in place or walk the steps in my house. I really love Zumba and I do it at home on my wii. I did start attending a gym about 8 or 9 months. I will have to get my breast done cause they are just tube socks. I was a 42G but with all the extra skin, I'm a 32F. I also stuck and sticking with the overall plan. I have not touched a soda since the day before surgery. I really do not eat bread at all anymore - which was my comfort food. Let me know if I can answer any other questions!!

Tube Socks? LOL

Thats great info. I worry about the extra skin, Hopefully I can get some money save up to get ride of the arm fat when I reach my goal weight. I am going to Celebrate Thanksgiving early, so I don't cry to much when everyone is engulfing turkey. I haven't touch soda since June after I went to information session. Just water!!!! and some juice there and occasionally. I have not touch really any sweets, I don't care for them. My weakness is SALT. OMG..... chips, BUT, I control myself. If i feel like having chips I would buy one of those little 50 cent bags and eat it and stretch it out chip by chip through the whole day. Its pathetic it takes me 6 hours to eat a little bag because i'm savoring each one so much. lol Or I would just get those 100 calorie bags. But I stick to 1400 calories a day... religiously... I work 5 days a week then come home I am exhausted. No energy to work out. So to make myself to "some" work I park far from stores so I HAVE to walk. I walk to the bus instead of riding the car, and i once in a while try work out. But My sleep apnea is killing me. I feel so tire all the time. And its like since I found out I have it I feel even worst. Is like my mind, its aware and automatically readjust my body settings. ..... freaking brain. I try to have my Protein shakes daily, or a Protein Bar if I don't get to it, and I track everything on my fitness pal. But I feel like 16 pounds in 3 months its a joke... LOL apparently its a lot and some kind of accomplishment according to my surgeon, because after a life of not loosing and not getting anywhere, I actually achieved something.... I don't know... Anyways, I will probably invest on a Wii, so I can get Zumba at home =)
