It’s been over a year since my surgery and I love my results. I am in the process of going for skin removal but I’m lucky it’s not too bad.

It has not been an easy road but completely worth it.

Yes sis! You looking. I’m looking to get the same surgery done for myself this year. I’m so motivated now that I see your progress!! I should record mine.

Apologies, I'm getting a Mani/Pedi.
Many folks have an adverse reaction to eggs after surgery. Glad to hear your are eating simply and have more energy and time to spend with your daughter.
Such a great success story you have. Again thanks for sharing!

Four months out

I am four months out now and I currently weigh 224lbs. I've lost 69 lbs and 40". I still struggle to get in all my protein and water. I don't feel hungry but I crave water, ice cold water all the time. It's a welcome change from craving bad food.

Congratulations hon! And I wouldn't worry about those little scars...in a couple of years, they will be just memories.
I keep my meals simple, I always have grab and go snacks ready and I don’t beat myself up for eating something wrong. If there’s a craving I try to make it as healthy as possible and eat a small bit rather than let my cravings consume me. I also take walks through the park with a friend. That’s how we catch up now and it tired the kids out so it’s a double bonus.
My motivation from the beginning was my daughter and seeing how much more I can do with her now is a constant reminder of why I did this and why it was the best decision I made. It helps keep me motivated and accountable. Now most of my routine is habit and I don’t think too much about what I’m going to eat. I’m not hungry often either which is a blessing.
I have a few scars that are more noticeable to me but to others they would really have to look closely. I do have a lot of extra skin, some of which is awkward and painful at times but i still like the way I look.
My doctor was changed to Dr. Gmora in Hamilton Ontario. He was amazing. He was great. I was very nervous but my surgery went well. He and his team were great.
