My scars aren't that bad. The one in the boobie area was the first to heal and you can't really even see it anymore. The others are healing up ...............The port is the only one and actually just checked it out and it has really faded too. I am like Nicole the one above my belly button is the last to fade.......that one got infected and swelled up so that is why. BUt it will fade too. Need to remember the aloe vera

Candra you look small there!! If that is a 14 than a 14 is small!! You looked great and your right your brother looks ALOT like you!!

Ah crazy busy today I have to run more later when I get back home............

Lol we arent tryin to give you anything to be worried about if anything im trying to help you get over the scars:D

Jess the port can be revised.. the reason it starts to stick out is because when you loose weight thats just the way life is. And it doesnt always stick out.. for me it depends on the day, lol serious.. some days its like high and others its hiding so deep.. weird lil sucker..:sad:

My husband doesnt complain about any of them.. so that is a good thing right??

I think I'm going to bring it up when I go for my Hx/Px. So she'll know I'm concerned. That may be my only saving grace of having a woman surgeon.

Candra when's your surgeon appt?

You guys are so so so funny - either that or you're tryin to humor me like the fed ex man LOL the smallest I ever got to was 163 and that was for about 30 seconds then right back to 170. Nicole, the pic in the sand I was about 170/175 size 14. that suit is the same one XL. It came with matching shorts yeah! don't have it anymore - I have the best one piece - size 18 - never wore it cuz still too big for swim suit. It looks alot like the one I've attached but it's red & white and the front is ALOT wider covers more of the tummy. When i get small enough I will get this one in a smaller size. Can't wait to see you all on the band size - skinny world, here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, tina, my brother is 5 1/2 years older than me so he use to tote me around - take me roller skating with him & his friends - things like that - anyway, they all use to call me "Little Louie" SUCKED!!!!

Jes, my appt is 8/31. gonna have a little chit chat with Dr. fisher - sucks that there's nobody on here that has had surgery with him so I have no idea how he does - incision wise. he may not make small incisions, he may not try to hide the top one under a boobie - all things I need to make him aware of LOL. When is your appt?

you're making me laugh.....if you think about it since he's used to doing RNY he probably has talent and perfected the slice and dice, which may be a good thing.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
