Looks great to me! Your boobs look really good! And your torso ; have you had any plastics or is that hard work? Curious I'm just starting out and freezing the loose skin and no boobs.

You look amazing! The only people who would be unkind are heartless anyway and have to talk about others to make themselves feel good because they normally don't have any self esteem!! So go on girl..wear that bikini proudly!

Thank you all! :) I'm feeling so great, and it just doesn't seem to come down from this constant high!! Life is truly truly better on the other side. Is life perfect? Of course not, but not having the fat suit on all day I have to say has made it all worth going through.

Hugs!! Keep fighting every single day, and never ever give up! Wake up every morning with a new opportunity to work towards making it a great day, that is how I worked my program - and it works... it really does!

Now, for the record - I have had breast augmentation and some liposuction in my problem areas. However that is all I've had, I have NOT had any skin removal whatsoever. I do plan to in the future, so I can only imagine how amazing my results will be once I'm healed up from all that.

GOOD LUCK AND BLESSINGS!!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
