Im starting a thread on things you cant wait to do/accomplish after surgery..
I can't wait...
for that moment where I don't have to use a beach towel after a shower!
till I can ride my bike with my daughter without my tire going flat the moment I hop on the bike!
to give my daughters a bath with out running out of breath!
till I can take my boyfriend out on a date to his favorite place Six Flags without being in fear that the security lock on the roller coaster wont fit me or I wont fit in the seat period!
till I can play hide n seek with my daughter and be able to run without feeling like I'm about to collapse!
till food is no longer something I seek for comfort yet only for necesity because my body needs nutrients not because my emotions need to be fed!

Ok Im going to try my hardest to eat more and up my calorie intake Its just so hard.
Huh Funny thought: If somebody would of told me 4 months ago your going to have to make an effort to eat more everyday! lol I would of thought they were CRAY CRAY!

I know that loose skin is practically in our future for most of us. But oh how I hate my bat wings. Im only 3 months post op and witth 72 pounds down my arms look better then they did before of course but oh my lord the bat wngs are so bad
I do a lot I MEAN ALOT of arm excercises 7 days a week so I am doing the best I can but does anyone have any other miracle solutions for loose skin?
Any lotions or anything to help your skin???

Seriously Im dreading the summer! lol
long sleeves and 3 quarter sleeves are my BFFS!
If I hold my arms up like forming the letter T with my body and twist my hand a little I can see where my muscle is and everything else that hangs is all skin so ugly. But I like thefact that I can see my muscle and its not all mushy with fat!
I will probably invest in a good thick firming lotion to at least help the appareance of my sking and make it healthier.
Thanks Worm!!!

Everywhere jiggles lol...I need a whole body compression lol

Great job! You are looking great! Keep up the hard work! It's inspiring to see the changes that can happen ( I'm still pre-op).

WOW CONGRATS!! You look great! I am soooo happy for you!!
I have not had the guts yet to do more photos. I guess I am scared there will not be results.

WooHoo!! Gotta do the happy dance. Congrats on your loss and all your hard work to get there. You look great... Keep it up!!

OMG I can't believe it's been 3 months. Time has flown by. I am doing great. Working out 7 days a week and feel better then ever.
I knew I had lost weight. Im obsessed with the scale and weigh myself everyday. I need to change that but the point is... i knew the pounds were coming off nut when I saw these pics side by side I almost passed out. I started crying uncontrollably. I still don't know how to explain it. I feel so happy for how good I look and to see that all my hard work is paying off. I also felt extremely sad that I looked the way I did. How did I allow myself to get that far. Absolutely the best choice I've ever made about my health and body.
70+ pounds down about 90 to go!!! Almost half way there!

Thank you so much.
I don't mind.
Around October 2012 my highest was 322. After the pre op liquid diet (only a 3 day liquid diet so I think most of that loss was Water weight) I was 306 the day of my surgery 11/26 and as of this morning 249

Well nope. I have a cup every morning. It's my one vice. :-)
