Well I used to be 346 Lbs, I went on a 2 year mission to lose weight, I built a Home gym downstairs and over 2 years I lost at my lowest 115lbs. I was down to 238 lbs. When I reached that Zone I would no longer lose weight, I was watching and logging everything I ate and burning 1200 cals 3 days a week with 2 hour work outs, Needless to say I got pretty Burnt out at that point. I also hit the point that I realized i could do nothing about my Loose skin and fat trapped inside my gut area and sides and got really discouraged with working out and to some point my resolve was shattered, for 6 months I kind of went into depression mode and gained about 20 lbs back but recently i have started cross-fit and its motivated me to at least get back at it. I also considered getting the surgery and now its about 2 weeks away, I just found this site so i wish i had found it sooner but im happy to see that most people are really happy with their results and also theirs some amazing before and after pics. Any suggestions or tips with this is highly appreciated and i look forward to showing my before and after pics.

Thanks Kimmers, I gained back about 15 lbs from what i would consider to be my true normal low weight of 245lbs, Do you think its ok to still have my Tummy tuck 15-20 lbs from my lowest possible weight at the moment? At one point i was 238 but i was like a food [RS bleep] and working out like a mad man.

Need to get my things together tomorrow like loose fitting clothing and some other things. Any suggestions on things to buy pre op? Laxatives? Certain clothing? Types of foods to avoid pre op or to eat post op? Any suggestions really. Some recently have had thiers done and have been making me nervous :( hope this is worth it.

Hi there & welcome. I just finished writing something and ending it with "ladies" which prompted me to go "oops" i'd better go see if we had any males currently active ...and here you are! Hi You've had quite a journey already! Congratulations on your weight loss, that's impressive I'm going in for my pre op the day you are going in for your procedure. I will definitely be keeping you in mind and sending lots of positive energy your way! My story is similar of course, weight loss through diet and exercise, loose skin...same same I am having a lower body just a couple of weeks after you go in. You're almost there, just a few ore days. It's gonna be incredible...keep us posted please

Thanks alot i am Very very nervous about the whole thing but one thing that is making me feel better about is im pretty sure i paid extra for a Pain pump to have for the first 4 days after Surgery. This should help control the pain and its making me breath a little easier.
