Thanks for sharing. ...I'm feeling like my back is running straight into my butt. I keep Icing it but I guess I have to just be patient. This 2 months out for you. Only 2 weeks for me. I swear I keep looking at my pictures just grateful to have a flat stomach and tight thighs!
From 415 lbs ......I won't complain !
You and your rear highness looks great .....so excited for you!
Thanks boo! Yes I was sooo sad when I saw my back. It was super flat and ran right into my butt. I had a big booty going in but it was flabby and unshaped so I initially thought she took too much fat off. But she actually did reshape it and now that the swelling has started to go down I can see it. Be patient. It's coming!!
Hi, what pillow did u end up getting?
Hey. I ended up just using the Boppy. It worked very well.

I'm Ready to workout..ugh

So I'm ready to hit the gym and do some light work. The scale has over in the wrong direction and I can't have that (though my tummy is looking nice). A couple things I've realized or noticed:
1. I have phantom limb syndrome. I feel like my gut is still there and I was told to stare at it to get myself to know it's gone (hence this pic)
2. When I get full my tummy pokes out. I never had this issue before. But I swear I fit clothes better like two hours later.
3. I went for a walk today and I noticed that I walk faster without the gut

Ok that's all for today. Lol

Congratulations mel!
Love how proportionate you are.
My thighs are huge with mostly skin and I just don't want any surgery on them.
Hiring a trainer October til January to guide me on building muscle.
After losing so much weight, my desire is to still be a lil juicy thick!!!
Yes! It sucks to have this much flabby skin though. It looks weird next to my flat tummy. I'm gonna start toning soon and then get the lift. Good luck ma'am!
