Oh, man. The hiding.. In one of my before pictures, I'm holding my cat up to my face, trying to hide double chinnage. I looove taking pictures now too. What an amazing transformation. It really does touch every aspect of our lives.

Thank you Krystal0528 =) Congrats 2 you i was in the hospital for 3 days my sugar was a bit out of wack my potassium was low and i had a bit of fever, but i'm glad ur home, fluids and Protein were hard for me as well i actually could not even stand the smell of the shakes after surgery never mind the taste and it lasted a few months but got better as months went by i still can't finish a whole shake once i open it soo i get as much protein as i can through meats, egg, cheese, yogurts etc i had to be patient and just let my body adjust i literally felt like a preggo the first maybe 3 months lol, the smell of certain foods, the taste, weakness, dizziness even me myself i felt that as i was going through the (ketosis phase) i didn't understand why the smell of my breath had changed i felt soo bad everytime i had to talk to someone up close, i just felt like overall my body smelled different if that makes any sense but i had my husband reminding me constantly "no worries honey in a few months from now you'll look back and see that it has all past and all was worth it" and sure enough it has passed, it is behind me and i am a completely NEW person, my advice one day at a time, stay active, get used to carrying a bottle of Water everywhere you go and remember no 2 bodies are the same so don't compare urself to others, patience patience patience just focus and do u, stalls will come just keep doing what you gotta do they will break through =) take care and Congrats again!

Hii betterbeginnings and welcome i can honestly say that from my part the only regret i have is the "why didn't i do this sooner" i mean i'm still young but i feel i lost soo much time being and feeling sick, feeling miserable, stuck for 15+ years not being able to enjoy life, unhealthy with poor self esteem and could have done so much more with my kids and family but i am thankful that i did it because it has been like a new beginning new life and i wouldn't change it for the world =)
