Hey all you beautifully people! I have my surgery scheduled for March 17th and I am kinda nervous now lol idk why this is what I wanted so badly now I keep thinking about everything that can go wrong. I would love to see before and after pics to help me calm my anxiety!

I love your fitness pictures! What is your routine for getting toned? That is my biggest goal after surgery.

Heavy weights! Meaning, you’re failing by the 8th-10th rep. I complete 3-4 sets of every exercise. Weightlifting completely helped me with body recomposition. I eat lots of protein & complex carbs to build muscle, because that “toned” look is added muscle & you have to lift heavy in order to break down muscle tissue & allow to repair & grow. Good luck to you!!!

K, I really intended to write up a post on my 2 year anniversary (back in October!), but just never got around to it. I did make/update a little "progress" pic collage about a month ago, that again, I had meant to accompany a better-late-than-never anniversary post, but yep, just didn't get around to it.

Anyhoo....this pic has been sitting in my albums for over a month now, and since I honestly have no real intention to write up an anniversary post (I'm like 2 yrs + 4 months now, lol), I'm just gonna post it here so it doesn't go to waste:

2 weeks pre-op: 235.0 lbs

Surgery Date weight: 223.1 lbs

Goal Weight: 127 lbs (7 myths post op)

Current weight: 113.9 (this morning)

P.S. I'll try to do a proper anniversary post at the 3 yr mark...lol

You have the loveliest legs! They look like they’ve been sculpted. You should be seriously proud of your efforts.

Before and after

Nice work! I love the evident confidence changes just based on the difference in your posing between the two pics ❤️

Edited February 27, 20215 yr by ms.sss

Before weight about 220 Photo was 10/2019

Surgery weight 193 surgery was 7/16/2020

Goal Weight 135 hit this just about two weeks ago 2/2020

Current Weight 133

No regrets!!

Surgery

I am happy to show a 2 month difference! And 52 pounds between the two!

I never thought to take photos. I guess I should now

I wanna play! I have a long way to go but I’m more than halfway there.

Beginning photo was me at my highest weight of 255 a week before surgery. Second photo is me last week at 187. My goal weight is 130lbs. I’ll be 5 months postop on Saturday.

yeah, you totally should!

One of my favourite pastimes after I reached goal was to show people (who asked) the pics of me bigger. For some reason, I really liked to show these bigger pics of me...which is funny because I used to hate them and would go to great lengths to avoid having anyone see them.

Thank you!! I’m so inspired by your journey.

I'm sad that I didn't take a before picture now!

I am only 3mo post op and I saw the difference in my progress photos today and wanted to share - just my belly - I think it is 1 week post op vs 3 months. I am a slow loser, or more of a staller dropper (I have had a stall of at least 14 days all three months lol) so taking photos really helps me!

Girl! You are so awesome! You really motovate me, I hope more people post progress photos like this! My surgery is on 3/25/21 I really hope to see these kind of results! Keep kicking Ass!
