Thanks everyone for the compliments! biggrin.gif

I know when I started this journey I was inspired by those who would post before/during and afters. The journey is not always easy - I try very hard to stick to my plan - 65-80 grams Protein per day, 60+ ounces H20 and I try to avoid junky carbs. Do I avoid all carbs no, no, no - but I do not over do it. Carbs are the devil for me!

I work out with a trainer 2-3 times per week - focusing on weight training - that is what attribute my arms to - I have very little lose skin there. I am also very luck to be tall 5;8" so that helped me - my weight was pretty evenly distributed over my entire body - the only issues I have is wrinkly lose skin on my lower tummy and my new pre-puberty boobies! tongue.gif My stomach does not have folds or flaps - that I know I would have had it I was 5 inches shorter...but it does bother me...lots. I will look into a mini Tummy Tuck once I have maintained for awhile.

Thanks again for the support everyone. This forum has been my #1 support system. I found my sleeve sister on this site - and we met in Mexico and had surgery the same day....love you Davida! And to all the others here who have been so supportive and honest - thank you! I wish I had the opportunity to meet some of you personally one day - you are all such an inspiration to me!

OH - PS - the Little Black Dress.... Calvin Klein size 8 - got it at the outlet store - tag said $148 - I paid $8!! Lol I love clothes shopping now and all the wonderful options!

Wow!! you look awesome!! I wish my arms looked as good as yours - I have been going to a gym 3 days a week and lifting some weights to help hopefully. But i'm sure they won't turn out as good as yours. GREAT JOB!!

What an inspiration you are! I have the same goal weight as you; 155 lbs. You are my WLS poster woman...I would love to look so wonderful!

And my partner will point out, "see, she works out...with a trainer even!" Your arms look fantastic and you are right, it is from the weight training; great job! Congrats again!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
