Sorry if they are sidways, I don't know how to turn them....

Fat picture was 10 months ago on day of surgery..........

Skinny Picture was last week at Dr appointment.

You truly look like a totally different person, congratulations on your success. How much weight did you lose? Did you workout? What about excess skin? I still haven't had surgery and just want to know what to do in order to be successful at it.

To D1NOnlySexyLady,

i've lost 79 lbs to date......goal was 70 lbs. Yes, I do workout, it will Totally help with that excess skin! I do have a small amount of excess, not noticable to anyone but me, This was not easy to do, you must follow the eating plan set forth by your Dr. and follow it if you really want success. Even now, after i'm at goal, I still eat the same as I have for the last 10 months, and planning on it for life. I still stay away from all breads, pastas, candy, chips, junk food. I make healthy choices now, even tho I might prefer something different.

Good luck if you decide to have this surgery, remember, it's a new way of life, not just till u reach goal. bad habbits must go away and never return.

Thanks for all the kind words, I feel 10 years younger!

My Dr, gave me a binder full of info such as:

Pre surgery instruction

surgery and discharge

phase 1, liquid Protein

phase 2, soft food diet

eating methods and Fluid intake

activity and behavior modification

general guidelines & support groups

follow up

This binder has been my bible throughout my journey.

My eating plan outlined in my binder talked about what I should be eating at what stage i was at, and what foods are "allowed" and what foods to "avoid" there was also a very helpful page on foods that are a "good source of protein" (very helpful) along with many helpful hints through out......

I guess I assume that everyones Dr gives out this info for all their patients, but sounds like some leave you to figure it out for yourselfs.

Best of luck to everyone, nice to know I have inspired several of you.

Wow that binder would of been really helpful for me right now

Oh man somewhere on here someone recommended a website that has a TON of info on it about pre op foods, post op, etc. is it Cornell website?? I saved it on my computer, I'll post it later!

I wonder if your doctor would let you share some of the info on here??
