That is fantastic. And you look great. Not a bit "overweight" as the "charts" say.

Down 55 lbs. I feel amazing. This is the best decision I could have made. 60 lbs to goal weight.  

Wow!!!! You look amazing!!!! Your progress is phenomenal! We can both tell our prolactinomas to kiss our shrinking behinds!!

You have the same amount total goal as I do. How long did it take you to get to 85? I'm at 70 down right now.

Yay. Congratulations! You are doing great.

You look fantastic. Great progress.

Update. I'm now five months out and down 75 lbs. weight loss has slowed down but I'm feeling better each day. NSV every day.
First pic is my high weight before surgery. Second is at 3 months after surgery down 55 lbs. Third is today, 5 months with 75 lb loss.
I feel so much more in control of my life and choices.

Oops should say pics. Can't edit. Lol [emoji23]

You look great!

Looking good! NSV for me..... buckling the airplane seat belt and even pulling it a bit to tighten it up. That was one of the things I used to dread about traveling for work. Especially if I was traveling with coworkers. Asking for an extender and seeing the look on the persons face that sat next to me.

Good morning, everyone.
I am very proud to report that as of this morning, I have achieved my weight goal of 180 pounds. My one year surgery anniversary was last Thursday (September 28), and I met my goal on Monday, October 2. I have lost 217 pounds from my initial weight of 397 pounds at my first pre-op appointment on March 3, 2016. My skin has done incredibly well for a person who has lost this kind of weight. I may pursue some kind of plastics later on, but for right now, I am pretty happy. I am wearing a 30-32 waist pants/jeans/shorts, and small shirts. It is incredibly amazing to me, and I am still shocked every time I try on something new.
I still attribute so much of my success to losing 99 pounds during the six month pre-op diet program. Even this morning, my first thought was that if I hadn't done all of that work on the front end, I'd weigh 279 this morning, and not 180. For those of you that have to do the six months for your insurance company, I'd encourage you to really devote yourself during that time and get started!
For those of you that are considering WLS, this can be you, too if you commit yourself to your plan, change your relationship with food, and prioritize your health and well-being over the momentary pleasure that any food provides.
My new challenge is going to be getting the weight loss to stop. I am finding that at one year post-op, I am eating less that I was a few months ago. It is weird. The will to eat is there, but I just get incredibly full incredibly fast. I have my one-year follow-up appointment with the bariatric surgeon's staff in early November. I'll talk to them about it then.
There isn't much difference at 180 than when I weighed 185 or 186, but I am super proud to have met my goal and to "officially" be in maintenance!
Wishing everyone the very best,
Blair

Good luck. Sounds like you are on the right track by recommitting. You've got this!

There's a saying...."Rejection is a form of protection." If this guy is so turned off by loose skin that he wouldn't want to see you again, he's probably not the one for you.
I wouldn't warn anyone because it points to insecure feelings about your body. A woman who feels insecure in her own skin may send the wrong message.
Most women in the real world don't have perfect bodies due to childbirth, yo-yo dieting, age, gravity, sun exposure, and other issues. This man probably won't be as bothered by your body as you.
I would allow things to unfold organically. You cannot hide your body forever in this situation. It may help to view your loose skin and droopy body parts as badges of honor gained during your uphill battle with obesity.
Good luck to you!

You look great!

Hit a WL milestone this week! 85 lbs down. 22 to get me to Onederland! Been slower this past week due to family obligations but when I can't work out - I make sure I eat right!
