"IM FEELING SEXY AND FREE!!!! LIKE GLITTERS RAINING ON ME!!"

So today I am 4 months post op! I feel Amazing, im running and working out almost every day and I can't think of one negative in my life right now! Who would have thought that would be coming out of my mouth! lol

Im still not perfect in any way shape or form, but that is ok with me cuz every day im doing something to strive for a better me. Im down 61 lbs, and im only 26 lbs from goal... Im not tryin to hit goal quickly either, i want to lose kind of slowly because i want my skin to be able to bounce back, but i think im still doin ok in that matter because im gaining muscle so that i can off set the saggy skin as much as i can. But either way, I am really happy with the changes. I just wanted to share.. and give anyone that is in doubt a huge thumbs up to this surgery. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER. And if you don't believe me... here are a few before and after pics.. now obviouly my journey isnt done but here are some pics taken just this week!

All I can say is "You Go Girl"...work that sleeve !!!

You really looked good before and now just a smaller good looking u! It does not look like you've lost that much weight.. That's crazy thr pic one was 61+ more than thr last pic! I can't even imagine 61# gone? I'm two weeks out and only -18! You must feel so different in many ways? Looks like u are enjoying the new you. I can't see -26 more as u look so small now but I hope you reach your goal just the same.

thank you so much.. honestly i still have a little belly fat that i could stand to lose..lol.. but i do have to admit..i do feel different.. i have energy and i actually WANT to work out..and this might be TMI.. but my sex drive is thru the roof..lol.. so yea lots of changes.. but they are all for the better! And btw 18 lbs in 2 weeks is amazing.. you are going to do well on your journey!

You better werk girllllllll!!!!!! You look amazing. I hope I have those kind of results in 4 months. I'm still in the pre-op diet stage so I hope to be somewhere around 230-235 on surgery day. My stats are pretty close to yours in terms of where you started (I'm a little taller than you though) and I can only hope I see the same results!

Im sure you will get down by surgery day... just get in as much exercise as you can now.. and you will be there.. plus it will help get you jump started for surgery.. thank you btw.. Im just tryin to keep up my workouts and get to goal eventually.. i know it will happen.. just wanting to do it the healthy way ..you know..lol.. well good luck to you and your surgery... Im sure you will do great! and keep us posted when you do!
