    By chance do you have a name for the lotion with Vitamin E and Keratin?

    Helene13 got a reaction from samsmom in 48 Pounds Lost And I Am The Only One Who Notices?   
    I am the same about not telling. My husbands family are so judgmental, so I would rather not. However I am down 50 lbs and NO ONE has said anything either. I think to myself is the scale right? LOL. But you know I do not care, I feel better, I know I look better and my clothes are not fitting, so I am happy regardless.
    I have to say that this has been the hardest decision and thing I have ever done. If people think its "the easy way out" then shame on them, because it has been the hardest thing for me!
    Good luck and keep going!!!

    Helene13 reacted to Mrtiger1 in 5 Days Out And Here's My Story   
    Started my preop diet Aug 25th. Weighed 385. Had surgery on Aug 30th. (yes I was suppossed to start a couple days sooner, but it was hard) I did cheat one day and had a cheeseburger and fries. On Aug 30th before surgery, I weighed 369. Today I am at 363. Had surgery Thursday, came home Friday, walked a mile Saturday, walked 2 miles Sunday, walked 3 miles yesterday. I am almost pain free in my abdomen. craving food, but the thought of throwing up scares me from trying anything. I have only thrown up like 3 times in my life. 39 year old male by the way. Everything is going smooth and easy. Oh, and I am back at work today and having no issues. One thing I will say is I have done everything the doctors have asked. Protein Shakes, creamed Soups, Water, sugar free Jello and pudding, and thats pretty much it. I can't see into the future, but for now, this was very easy and pretty much painless.

    Helene13 got a reaction from sleevemeup in Skin! Does It Shrink?   
    I am 6 weeks post op and been working on my arms and legs the most! My belly, I know is going to be bad because that is where I carried most of my weight, not to mention I am only 5'2..so Tummy Tuck and boob job will happen sooner or later. I also am broad at the top so my arms are a concern. My legs I am not so concerned about considering I do not wear anything short like that, but my arms are my biggest concern. I want to wear short sleeve, I don't care about tank tops but I am highly concerned about them. I am doing exercises, using creams for firming and just hoping it won't look to bad in the end, good luck! Oh and I am 39...we shall see.
    My girlfriend had the Roe-n-y and she is 5'8 she never really had a belly but most of her weight is in her legs and thighs. She looks pretty good all over, she still has big legs but she looks good...Your tall so you maybe just fine.

    But oh so funny.
    I was walking down the main street of town yesterday lunchtime on my way back to the office and suddenly started to feel awkward. I thought my skirt had twisted but as I reached down I grabbed it just before it fell past my knees. One second more it would have been around my ankles!
    A ducked into a shop where the salesperson helped me out with a safety pin and a lot of laughter!

    Hi my date is July 10th and I'm so ready too! It's practically all I can think about. I've had my date since march, and the months feel like they're going so slowly! I'm a teacher, so I chose to wait until the summer so I could have a nice long time to recover and get usedc to my new life. I've been trying to get heathier by working out 4-5 times a week and making some of the dietary changes now. I think I'm going to start replacing one of my meals with a Protein Shake now so it won't be so hard when I start the preop liquid diet. Besides that, I just come here and read a lot of posts to see how it's going for everyone. July can't get here soon enough!
