Before and After Pics

[Guest guest]

Well, I am at goal - yea! My surgery was 9/10/10 and I have done fantastic!

The first month was the hardest, but now it is great! I can eat anything I want

- just small amounts of it. I still try to make good decisions, but I also

don't beat myself up if I have a half a cookie :-) I am down to 141 and will

probably lose more because I am still losing. Now, I am being told that I am

too skinny - not to lose any more weight - can you imagine?? LOL

Here are some pics - I took them in my bra and underwear because you can see the

results better - they are in photos under allypad. My skin held up relatively

well, but alot is hidden by the underwear ;-) My stomach and thigh skin is

pretty damaged with stretch marks and I am thinking about plastics once I get to

a stabilized weight, although I am not incredibly unhappy with my body. My

boobs are pretty saggy and the excess skin on my tummy is bothersome - I could

still live with it. If I do have plastics, I am going to have a tummy tuck,

breast lift with augmentation (don't really want the implants, but I don't have

enough tissue to make a full C cup), a small thigh lift and possibly and arm

lift.

If any of you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me - I

am an open book and don't mind answering questions. I work full time and am go

to nursing school full time so I don't get on here as much as I would like.

Yay! Time to have a party. Congratulation to you! It is always nice to reach your goal. I am like you I make good choice 95% of the time, and I don't beat myself up over it if I don't. It is strange when someone calls you skinny for the first time. A nice word to hear. Do what is best for you and NO one else.

Thanks for sharing,

Hugs,

Suzanne

Thanks Suzanne! It feels really good to be off all blood pressure meds, etc. I

feel really great - my back doesn't hurt, my feet doesn't hurt - this has been

the best thing I could have ever done for myself!

You look GREAT I hope I can be posting this a few months from now! You look so much younger. I think you lost weight gracefully, you have a waist, I am afraid I will never have a waist again without cosmetic surgery. Thank you for your post for us waiting for surgery this is very inspirational! Sue From: allison p <allypad@...>To:
