Way to go! You are such a great inspiration. I can't wait to be where you are.

My surgeon said to plan to be off 2 weeks, but that could be extended if I'm not feel up to returning to work after my 2 week checkup visit.

40DDD here & hoping they deflate with weight loss. Sleeve scheduled 10/23. I'm going to see what they look like when I reach goal then check into having a reduction and/or lift. I would also like input on exercises that may help.

I am pre-op & this was very informative. Thank you for posting.

Congratulations! You look great!

I've noticed the missing letters but had no idea what was up with it.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Way to go! You look fantastic. Thanks for being a great inspiration to us pre-op folks!

Thank you for posting your experience. I am pre-op & want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly. I too have clinical depression. It is well controlled at this time, but I'm nervous about afterward. Wishing you the best in the rest of your journey!

Yay!

You are definitely not alone. I'm 3 months into my 6 month supervised program. I am terrified that I will jump through all the hoops & still be denied.

You go girl!!!

Thank you for this post. It made me cry as well. Only because I totally can relate to what you were feeling. I work from home & only get dressed when I absolutely have to (not nude but in sweats or pjs). I have let my hair go, rarely wear makeup, & seldom even shave my legs. I'm glad you are finally finding yourself and enjoying life. You are an inspiration to all of us pre-sleevers! I'm extremely happy for you!

I feel you! I am taking my 3 children to a Water park Thursday. I am already cringing at the thought of flaunting all my stuff (and I have a lot of it) in a swimsuit. I would keep myself locked away at home if I could. That is surely not fair to them or to myself. I am mentally preparing myself now by thinking how much less of me there will be to flaunt when we go back next year. BTW, I agree that you have an awesome looking family!
