I always try to eat pancakes ... Never learn ... It's not gonna happen ...

Hello everyone ! I'm very excited to say I started off at 255 and now weigh 145 !!! Still getting adjust to this very new life style (eating). I have good days and bad days and I'm sure everyone does . I've come a long way and next month I am treating my self to a Tummy Tuck .. Can't wait ..

I really need to work on eating more Protein any ideas !!! Started to work out during my lunch hour since life at home is crazy busy .

You and your daughter (niece or whomever she may be) are both beautiful! Congrats!! It is always great to hear stories like these to encourage us newer banders.
For Protein, I eat chicken breast a lot, snack on 2% milkfat cheese sticks (there is a cheddar/string cheese one that has 50 calories and 7 or 8 grams of protein). Sometimes I make cold Pasta salad (or warm pasta) and use Barilla's Multigrain Pasta as it has 10 grams per 2 ounces of pasta and tastes decent. Salmon is another great option too.
Good luck to you and enjoy your "treat" TT. You certainly deserve it.

Greatly said .., I'm planning to get my boobs in July and my Tummy Tuck is just a month away !!! Excited and scared !!!

I am having a tt and breast lift w no implants on 12/18.... I share your excitement!

Rarely does everything tighten back up with lots of hard work or a little cosmetics. i would love to have my stomach skin tightened but I am not sure it is worth the cost. It really does not hang over my pants or interfer with any activity. I do not walk around in public half naked so the only one who knows I have a loose tummy is me and my hubby and compared to what I looked like fat, I look pretty dang good naked even with a little loose skin. But of course I am older and skin does not go back as well when you have been fat for as long as I was fat. But my arms and legs and have done nicely with exercise and I have a cute little butt. Probably more info than you wanted to know.

Tummy for sure let hubby save money for your boob job...lol.....line dancer

I've reach my goal ... Went from 255 5'3 to 145 .. Now my Tummy Tuck and breast lift would cost 20k and I only have enough for one ... Which one? Anyone ? What would you do ? Why?

Tummy Tuck hands down. You can always stuff your boobs in a good bra and call it a day

Please, you need to cheer up ... Things could be a lot worse ... I hope you are able to get your lap band ... But you need to love your self no matter what ....

That's really great ..

I have yet to get banded but I know your feeling all too well. I hit the scale at just over 400lbs and one minute I think I look good and then I'll stand sideways or get one of those lovely stares from a stranger and it's all down hill from there. You need to remember where you came from and where you're at, as well as where you're headed! Talk yourself up and BELIEVE it! As far as your boyfriend, maybe talk with him? I too had issues of where I felt like my partner wasn't wanting sex because of the way I looked... and honestly, for me, hearing that I'm beautiful and attractive to my partner makes me feel better. At the end of the day you just got to believe that you are beautiful!
