Keep up the great work I how my goes as well. I wish I could have it now but I have to go to 3 apt first and have a egd to make sure I won't have any problems with acid reflux. Did you have gastric bypass or sleeve?

Almost 5 months out, and I finally hit that 75 lb mark. Took some pics to celebrate!

you look amazing! How often do you exercise? And what exercises have you done to tone your abs? I'm so worried about my midsection and the potential for excess skin.

@@brandnewme2015 thanks!

I exercise HARD and LONG twice a week, cardio. Aside from that, I try to get at least another day in per week of light exercise or strength training. Plus I chase around a toddler full time.

I haven't done any specific ab work. I actually have some pretty horrible looking loose skin, but it's covered by the shorts in the picture. My stomach is the last place I gain, so it's usually the first place I lose. Just luck, I guess.

Good luck to you!!

If you don't me asking...what did you do for exercises to be able to lose all the fat without having the excess loose skin? I want to be sure to do the same so I can have the same results.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
