You're not messing up but obviously don't eat it. Have a protein shake instead. Jello is literally just to make you think you're eating on a liquid diet, its not like it's an important weight loss food.

Phone charger and chapstick. If you like watching Tv maybe an ipad but you won't need anything else. It's one day, 2 tops lol.

Protein jello, sugar free popscicles, sugar free pudding, and soup. Ask your nut if you're allowed some soft protein rich foods like yogurt or string cheese.

I kept mine private. I had one co worker ask me because she saw a difference but i barely know her so i told her a partial truth, i watch what i eat and workout like crazy, which is exactly what i'm doing. She was asking because she also wanted to lose weight so i told her what i eat and what workouts i do. But the surgery part is my own business, i did tell her portion control is everything. Personally i just don't want people in my business. I'm not ashamed of it by any means but i do want credit for all the hard work i've put in to look this good and maintain it.

Best of luck!!! I had mine 12/20 of last year

You won't look sick. Tbh your goal weight can often change it might be more or less than what you expected, it depends on where you feel most comfortable. Your current goal is definitely do-able. I would strongly suggest weight training so you look toned after the fact. Hair loss happens for some not all, it has not happened to me at all. Biotin helps, you can actually start that now, and make sure you're hitting your protein goals, that helps too. The biggest thing really is just follow your nutritionist guidelines. It's 70% diet, 30% exercise. You'll do great!!

The time frame depends on so many things so don't worry about that to much, everything from when your surgeon has appointments to how long it takes your insurance to review your file can all make a difference. As long as you follow the nutrition class guidelines, you'll be fine and you'll be amazed at how much you lose. In order to maintain the weight loss after the fact it is definitely 70% diet, and 30% exercise so find things that you enjoy and stick with it. You got this!!! Best of luck to you.

When is your surgery? Don't feel bad, **** happens. Wake up tomorrow and start fresh, give yourself a game plan that you know works for you. The weight will start to come off, it could also be stress.

Congrats!!! The process is definitely annoying but so worth it! You're lucky your insurance only requires just a few diet classes. It varies from person to person. You'll do fine with the eval too, don't stress. I personally found it to be more useful after surgery, because you learn why you were eating the way you were before and learn how to control it which i needed. And it was nice because when i do need more help, i can always go back to that person if needed. Best of luck to you, you'll do great!

Thank you guys!!

Aww thank you. That's really sweet. I'll gladly share any and all information with you. You can ask me anything or even send me a private message if that help. I know all of my tips may not work for everyone, we can always bounce ideas off each other.

Aww thank you!

Do both. You deserve the tears and the backflip. Just be carefull when backflipping. You don't want to hurt yourself. You look absolutely beautiful. I see why people keep hating on you. Don't feel bad....they do me the same way. Keep your head up cause you doing great things. Congrats to you! Aww you're so sweet thank you. Start giving people tbe finger in your head lol, always helps lol.

Aww thank you!!

I didn't even think of that!

Really? My boobs were the same size in that pic. In that post i was a size 6, now i'm a 4, but there's barely a difference. They still haven't moved. I honestly love my boobs so i might just do a lift. It's just annoying trying to buy clothes. I think the jumpsuit is just an optical illusion. My one year is coming up, it's actually on my bday 12/20. Depending on whether i lose more by then, i might post a before and after, not sure yet. The one reason why i want to keep them is because i've literally never had back pain issues. So we'll see.

Aww thank you. Fyi- i love reading your comments you always make me laugh.

Thanks for that! And actually since i posted this my friend accidentally did it again. So I tried something different. She was having a conversation about some guy she just met and naturally her weight insecurities came up, she seems to think that if a guy is interested in her, therefore he must have a big girl fetish. Long story short i said, stop thinking that way, he's interested in you for you, embrace it, it has nothing to do with your curves. She actually stopped and thought about what i just said like a deer in the headlights. But it clicked, and she wasn't offended. So hopefully going forward she realizes this.

Oh i'm totally having plastic surgery. I eat like a rabbit lol, so by the time i'm done i need to look like a porn star. I definitely plan on getting my butt done to match my curves, not sure if i will do something about my boobs. I'm all for it!!

Aww thank you guys!!! You guys are sweet.

Nope. Spanx makes me feel like i can't breath. You can still see my stomach a little bit in the pics, that line is my baby muffin top that i'm trying to get rid of lol....one day.

Congrats on your progress!!! Have you tried simply be for bras? They have the cutest bras ever and they have them in your size. I used to be a j cup.

I don't want it to be huge and gross like kim kardashian, but i would hate to look like a 12 year old boy lol. I need some curves so i will definitely buy one just so i can have a nice hour glass shape.

Thank you! And you look great!!! I'm glad you're happy!

How long was your recovery time? Did they do a lift also?
