I know I've already commented. I saw the two new pictures you posted. Don't you just feel AMAZING? Aren't you truly proud of your success? I don't even know you, but I would hug you and tell you that I'm proud of you!

I have my surgery on the 20th. You are a huge inspiration to me to make it through this liquid diet. It's not horrible, but I've had my moments.

Thank you for posting!

Girl, I know what you mean! That dang liquid diet liked to have killed me. It got easier as I went along though. I just set up a little routine and followed it. Once I had done it for a few days, it was easier. I tried to stay as busy as possible and it really helped. Start some projects that you have to concentrate to do. It will take your mind off food. If you like sewing, its a good one. You cant eat and sew and you usually are trying to finish the project so you dont think about food. Also, the broth from wonton Soup from a restaurant is really good. I thought it was a nice treat from my other at home stuff. You only have a few more days to go! You can do this. Also, after surgery, the liquid diet part is sooooooo much easier. You have to learn to sip sip sip anyway and you cant hold much liquid because of the swelling.. you will not be hungry like you are now. I just dont want you to worry that you still have the liquid stages after surgery... they are a breeze compared to the preop. If I can help you in any way, let me know. Tammi

You look wonderful and you will be thrilled after the plastic surgery. Everyone says you dont need it but you're not doing it for them you are doing it for you. I have had several plastic surgeries and everyone of them makes me happy, just remember it can be a year before you have 100% results.

Again job well done live the life you want!

Well' date=' guys and gals, I finally made it! I say finally.. that is kinda funny really. I was obese for over 20 years and it took me exactly 13 months to.. not only get to a normal weight but my dream weight!!!!! I use the word finally because these last 15 pounds have been S L O W compared to the rest of it. I lost an average of three pounds per month for May and June....then I kicked it up a notch and cut my carbs back and lost a whopping 7 in July.. stall for most of August, then bam! Lost the last 3 pounds this weekend! Lordy, I hope it stays off. Here at the end, I tend to lose 2 or 3 pounds then gain 2 back and it takes me 2 more weeks to lose it again. So I am trying to go into maintenance a little too soon for me. Now that it is okay for me to go into maintenance, I am scared to death of gaining any back. I hope it settles out and I weigh between 130 and 135 for the rest of my life.. I never want to see a number above 135.

I am having plastic surgery for my loose skin in November. I am having a lower body lift, a thigh lift and an arm lift. I should lose about another 5 or 6 pounds when the swelling subsides from that. I am hoping after that, to have the best body I can have and not ever weigh over 130... I dont think I would be upset if it went over 130... just not over 135. So, in summary, I am hoping the final weight hangs between 125 and 130. I wear a size 4-6 right now depending on the type of pants and a small shirt.. some xtra small. I would think I will be a solid 4 in everything, not just dress pants. I have one pair of jeans in a 4 that fit perfect. Otherwise in jeans, I wear a 6. In slacks and shorts, a size 4 and some 2's because of the way the slacks are made. I think I will turn out to wear a 4 in most things with the occasional 2 or 6, depending on how its made. Sooo happy to be back into my college size!!!!!![/quote']

Congrats on ur weight loss!! U look great
