GL to you! Follow what your doctor says and it we happen! I'm so glad I can inspire you! It's why I posted those horrible before photos! My husband never even saw those pics! (Obviously he sees me everyday but I just don't feel comfortable showing them to him.) I was hoping that someone might be inspired or have hope that they can change too by seeing results. Stay positive and I'm sure you will be inspiring others soon enough.

I just saw my doctor last week. He was very happy with where I was at!! It got a little weird because he started telling me that he knew I was going to look hot after this surgery because my face is really pretty.... He goes on to say to make sure I stay faithful to my husband because he's heard and seen a lot of people cheat on their significant others after surgery because they start getting all of this attention from guys! I'm like uhhhh... I've been married 9 years and we've been together 13 years and have 4 kids. Plus he's hot so I'm not going anywhere!!! Lol it was an odd convo!! Anyways... He said he expects to see me below 150 at my next visit in August. He said it should be an easy goal to reach as long as I keep doing what I'm doing. I'm excited!!! Can't wait!! I expect to be under that because I'm currently 168!!! I only need 18 pounds in 3 months... I'm hoping to be at my goal weight which is 140 by August. That will be 6 months post op which is when my doctor and I said I should reach my goal! Can't wait!!! It's been hard at times but best decision I ever made!!!

Btw-- anyone who is curious about sizes and/or would like some motivation.

I started wearing a XXL in tops and dresses. I could wear XL in yoga/ stretch type pants. I never worn jeans because I couldn't find ones that I liked but I was about a 16.

I just went and bought some clothes!!! I'm so excited!! I'm wearing mainly M and a couple L tops because the cuts made them not long enough. I bought some medium dresses and sleepwear also!!! I bought 2 pairs of jean capris. 1 pair is a size 9 and the other is a 9/10. I also had some clothes from a few years ago that I saved but couldn't fit into before surgery. My size 11 jean capris that I use to squeeze into and gave me crazy muffin top are too big!!! I have to keep hiking them up because they fall down!!

For the women, I was wearing a 40D bra. I'm now wearing a 38C. I have to put the hooks on the smallest ones however. I probably could go down to a 36 but don't want to spend money on bras yet.

Oh happy happy for you! And thank you for that report and motivation. .. as a newbie, i fight with the back and forth of going through. .. afraid as heck with any possible side affects but you sound great. Any pain or side affects, if you don't mind sharing....

Single digit clothes size sounds amazing, even though my number one reason is health.... I don't really mind looking better.
