**BEFORE/AFTER PICS!** I met my ultimate goal of 100 lbs. lost today! I'm so happy! It's been quite the journey and is still a struggle almost daily but it feels great to look back at the last 9 1/2 months and see how far we've all come. No more losing for me here forward. Now I can gain a few and be ok as I have a maintenance range of 7 lbs. that I plan to strictly stick to and this is my lowest that I'll go. From a size XXL Tops/18-20 jeans I'm now in size XS/Small Tops and size 4 jeans. I feel amazing and the best part is, I have the energy and can play with my kids with ease. Here, I slid down the slide this week at the park that I got stuck on last year. In celebration, I'll be updating my YouTube channel tomorrow and doing a big GIVEAWAY for anyone interested in subbing and following me along there. Hoping everyone is doing amazing on their journeys!

Thank you so very much!!! It feels really amazing to hit that goal. I just posted a video of myself showing the progress from losing 100 lbs. (238 lbs. to 138 lbs.) I'm spinning and it's only a minute long but has some before/after photos. :) It was a fun way to document this entire journey the last 9.5 months.

Congratulations! I’ve been watching you for a few months now, cheering you on!

Thanks for posting Mitchell in Minnesota’s name, I’ll start watching him as well. I’m a revision patient, 2/12/19, and have had a hard time finding youtubers that have had revision that keep up with posting videos.

Awwww, thank you so much! Congrats on 2 months post-op now. YES!!!! Mitchell in Minnesota is the BEST! He and I have been messaging all day today our food intake. It's so good to find a buddy to help keep you accountable. He's really disciplined and doing great as a revision patient.

Kansas Kitty, please pardon me for asking, but have you had any issues with excess skin? Your arms and legs look GREAT. You don't appear to have batwing arms and I just wondered how you've managed skin issues - are you using any particular lotions or potions at all? I do not mean to be rude. I'm genuinely curious as I am having my surgery tomorrow, and loose skin is kind of the one thing I am not so keen on (though expected :D ).

OMG - you probably won't see this until you are post-op, so CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! So exciting! This is such a great gift you're giving to yourself.

You are too kind. I do have excess skin! I have some under my arms (not extremely bad)...I do try to hit the gym 3x a week for 15 minutes to work on them a bit. Also, I've gained and lost so much over the years that losing 100 lbs. will take a toll on your body. I do run 50 miles per week which helps with muscle in the legs. Also, I had a mommy makeover (tummy tuck, breast lift and augmentation) 7 years ago which helped keep some of those areas firm. However, my booty is sad, sad, sad and pretty much non existent. LOL (insert crying emoji here) Also, my upper thighs are wrinkly and loose too. I plan to possibly address the booty in 2020 before I turn 40 years old. The nice thing is, is we have options if we decide to go the plastics route. Technology and medicine has come so far. :)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
