@ so glad you said that. i have been following a pretty strict no carb no sugar diet but when i looked at Keto diet plans they have WAY more fats than im eating so im trying to incorporate avocados and almonds etc to raise the fat count. :)

There was and probably still is a great documentary on Netflix, sorry but I don't recall the name... It said fats don't make you fat... That obesity in America soared after WWII when the processed food revolution began... It was very interested, they were a team of researchers... I'll see if I can find the name

Why are the robes for like six hundred pound people?. Even the socks are huge!

You aren't very big to begin with though, lol

tummy to tummy comparison lol. 81lbs down. the scars are fading nicely. i don't have a lot of loose skin but there are things sagging. i have a small waist but i still have my stupid FUPA <_< my butt, my boobs, some on the arms and inner thighs are saggy too. i did lift weights for most of the journey which i think helped but i need to tone up big time. i will definitely have surgery if i can afford it and im unhappy at the end. 13269436_264494770570855_539861819_n.jpg13296327_10209147901311917_2067580344_n.

Im down 57 lbs now. I feel like it should be 20 more off but I had another surgery on the 20th of April. Then an ER visit that pumped me up with 2 L of Sodium Chloride. Then a small stall. I still feel like I have a ton more to lose. Just moved out of my house and in a transition house 4 three 3 to 4 months until our new house is built. Then school starts up again on June 6th. So... Im hoping to drop some major weight in 3 more monrhs!

@pr_pitbullgrl. Question for you. Even when you were heavier did you always have a waist? If not or if it has improved to what is in your picture I am all ears as to how to get that shape! You honestly look right now what my fantasy body would be! Did u waist train or do any special exercises? Or do you just have good genes to thank! Thanks!!

I saw that documentary. Theres another one about the Paleo Diet. That Paleo Diet is amazing. I loved it. Lots of cooking and lots of meat eating. Grass Fed meats. Great way to lose weight

I wore a bandage over mine until it healed so my bra did not irritate it.

Me too. I didnt wear a bra for a long time. Right where that upper incision is ... is right at the crease when you sit. It was hard for me to heal and I wore steri-strips to hold it together. It did open up. Becareful with it so it doesnt get infected.

@@goplay94123 i did always have an hourglass of sorts even when i was huge. my waist was my best feature. i can't believe that first photo actually where my stomach is flopping over like that. it's hideous. i haven't waist trained but i might just to make it really small and take the focus off my terrible legs lol.

      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.
