Holy shizz, finally got my pre op pic...now 164lbs down
LOL...thanks! I think we are the most critical of ourselves because I hate the way my legs look, a lot of cellulite and saggy skin on my inner thighs and lower butt crease (oh, and the saggy skin on my lower tummy bugs me too). I will never have plastics on any of those areas though...in the last 9 months especially I have really come to terms with the fact that no amount of exercise will completely fix it either. So I just focus on the features I like and do my best to emphasize them.
Therapy has helped me tremendously in this regard (along with fixing & re-programming my "fat" brain and giving me the power, strength and knowledge to overcome poor & impulsive eating behaviors). I still see her once a month. :)

Thank you thank you thank you for being brave enough to share. I am two weeks away from the sleeve and your story and pictures, along with the stories and pictures of everyone *****plied, made me cry. I am so grateful that I got past the idea that surgery was a taboo subject. You and the others have really helped me so much in making peace with what it is that I need to do:)
Dont be disgusted by your pre op self, or angry.. Who you were helped to shape who you ARE, and you were beautiful to begin with. You have done an awesome job, and you look beautiful still.. And so happy. I love your hair too btw, mine just hasn't been the same post op and I still miss my old hair years later, lol.. Congrats!
I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!
"People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within." - Ramona L. Anderson
