I know it's been a while since I had my surgery, but it's always nice to talk / meet people that had it done. I went from a size 24 to a size 9 in 8 months.

The protein shake is named "MUSCLE MILK"

I actually don't have a lot of noticeable stretch marks. Just use weights start with 5lbs then up the weight each week. USE PROTEIN it really do help

Thank u so much

Trust my body is not flawless but I am very happy with how things turned out. I can wear lingerie and look sexy, I can shop anywhere and the funniest thing is my 18 year old daughter we wear the same size now and she is always in my closet (lol).

Thats cute lol. U look amazing I want to look like u after my surgery

So the only carbs you had was rice?

For the question of stretch marks, my sister is 5 yrs out she went from 235 to 125 her arms and thighs have hanging skin that is noticeable with stretch marks, however she is so thin in those area (and actually to me too skinny all over ) . We all have to understand we abused our bodies up til having the surgery. I have stretch marks everywhere from my upper arms down to behind my knees. You will have hanging skin, but remember do u really think it would be worse to stay obese and unhealthy ? I don't know anybody who would change going back to the way they were and I personally know at least 15 people who have had surgery

To anyone that has saggy skin, I have a small amount of hanging skin in the belly area, but no sagging on my legs or arms. Very little stretch marks. My doctor said I didn't have the sagging problem because I had Solid Fat. Plus I was in the gym way before I was suppose to be. I was just determined to not have the excessive skin hanging. I can wear shorts & pencil Skirts without being worried about my legs or thights. I'm not worried about my stomach I've had 5 children so I already didn't have a flat stomach.

Wow that's great am planning on hitting the gym as soon as I can

That's great, just don't overdue it like I did. I was in the gym 2 weeks after my surgery and almost passed out. I'm very hard headed (LOL). My doctor told me that I wasn't taking in enough calories to be going to the gym to burn off calories. So I stopped then started back a month later, but in the meantime do weights on your arms (so you can build up muscle) and walk.

_{Phenominal woman is right!!! Amazing!! I am 4 weeks post op. It's very hard for me to believe that my body could look like yours...in 9 months? Congratulations! All of your hard work and tenacity paid off!}

5 years ago my brother was 360lbs and when he had his RNY he lost 200lbs in 6 months. He is 170lbs now 5 years later, just don't cheat
