Florida Vaca this weekend.

WORTH IT$13,800
I’m down to 157. I know I have body image issues now. I was looking in the mirror before I pulled out my camera and all I could see was the ‘fat’ me. 210 lbs and gross looking. When I took out the camera I did a double take when I saw the phone screen. I look better than I think. I’m trying to get trough the issues.

Wow, you look amazing! Congrats on the bravery and all the hard work. You deserve that vacay! I appreciate your sharing your experience here. I can see it has been quite the journey. My TT is coming up soon with the same surgeon. If you could go back in time, would you still choose Dr. D? You look great to me, but you expressed some dissatisfaction in some of your posts (perhaps it relates to the body issues you mention above) but it is not the first time I have read about someone being unhappy and being told they have to fork over a ton more money to pay to fix something . . . I feel confident about my choice (despite his having less years experience than the other surgeon I consulted with) but am really nervous in general about everything. Surgery terrifies me.
Hi there fellow Mainer
For some reason it’s not letting me post my whole reply. Just private Message me :-)
Trying to figure out how to do that-
Hi there, I am a Mainer too and just read your journey. Are you glad that you went through the procedure at this point and overall are you happy with dr Daniel? I know it's been awhile but I would love to hear your opinion. I am a lot older than you so now healing would be different, but would love your insight a year out. Thank you.
You look amazing! I know that it can take time to accept our new, improved selves. give yourself time and a little grace for the self love to grow :)

Update!

After 3.5 weeks of eating a lower carb diet I’ve lost about 7 lbs and quite a few inches (I haven’t counted yet) I’m feeling pretty good. I added pictures of before, during and right now. I’m not going to stop eating low carb because ideally I’d like to be around 145lbs. I’ll keep everyone updated. I hope you can see progress in the photos, I don’t see too much! Lol, It may just be me though. Hopefully the pics are added in order, but if not I put a caption underneath telling what is what.

Ok I guess it’s been a little longer than 3.5 weeks. More like 5 or 6 weeks! Lol! Sorry about that, I’ve got a serious case of Mommy brain.
I see so much progress! Your waist is super trim and toned now! You look wonderful, way to go!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Just been reading your posts and looking at your pictures! Firstly you look AMAZING I love your results. I’m in Western Australia and go in for my TT on 7th June!
You look great! I can definitely see a difference in the hips!! Keep it up! ❤️
You look great can definitely see a difference. :-)

Update

Hi all. I’ve been a little bummed out for the last few weeks about my results, among other things. So I decided to start a low carb diet about 13 days ago, so far I’ve lost about 7lbs and a little over 3” around my waist and 3” around my widest part of my booty. I feel great and I had my first cheat day today, I had 2 slices of veggie and cheese pizza. YUM. And half a pint of halo top ice cream. I think I look smaller, looking back at the pics I’ve taken along the way.
I’ve always been excessively critical of myself and that’s another thing I’m trying to change. Strengthening my relationship with Christ and taking care of my body. It has definitely been a good 12 days :-) also- I dyed my hair to match my sons! Lol!
