Mid-Life Crisis...... Nahhhh.... I Just Need a Tune-up!! - Baltimore, MD

Hi ! I'm a 40 yr old married, mother of 2 children (19 and 10) , and 2 pups! Back in 2012 I was at my heaviest which was 331 pounds, that year I had WLS(sleeve), and I dropped down to 200 pounds within a year and 3 months. From 2013 to about 2 months ago,I have crept up the scale to 247! I decided enough was enough and I went back to basics- protein first, veggies next, and if I have room carbs ( I hardly ever have room for the carbs). I still have restriction in my sleeve so I never over eat, but I was eating everything I shouldn't have... and frequently.
My goal weight is to get down 210 by June 28th which is my surgery. My surgery is my motivator for me to eat right and lose this weight... because who wants to spend almost 20 grand for a result that won't look as good?
So, I'm getting the fleur de lis tt, BL/BA, and aggressive lipo to my thighs (dr made me understand that I may need a part 2 for thigh lift).
I am so ready for the body I've always wanted! I will update with pics of me without clothes - yuck and sorry for the image that will be burned in your retinas lol!

PS. You wonderful ladies who have been posting have such a huge help for me- thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

So, I started this week taking an herbal medication to help with my blood chemistry and help my metabolism. So , I'm always thirsty! Lol, this is a good think because I can go through an entire day with only drinking 8 oz of water. Not now... now I'm getting 120 oz of water where 32 oz is my unsweetened tea! I hope this helps with my weight loss goal. I also had a come to Jesus meeting with myself about eating healthier. I got this! I'm determined! Plus all of you beautiful ladies that have made it to the

Today I had my pre-op, took my before photos with the photographer, met with the nurse to go over the procedure, talked about upping the size of my implants from 350 to 400. I also made my final payment... shewww, there goes my savings. I was up all night wondering if I would back out and just keep the money , but in all honesty, this is something that I wanted to do for YEARS.. I worked hard to lose this weight, albeit I gained some back. I'm excited, nervous... so many emotions. I also know that afterwards I need to give my body enough to heal... well guys, it's real, this is happening, no turning back!! June 28th can't get here fast enough!
