As of yesterday, I am 24 weeks out and down 84 lbs since surgery. I have gone from a size 18/20 to a 8/9 and 2x-3x shirt to a medium. I have NO regrets from my surgery. I do not do any supplemental protein, never have been able to stomach a single protein drink I have found and trust me, I have tried many. I think the closest I came was the atkins shake. I have inspired many people around me who are all preparing for surgery as well to change their lives for the better. I am working on changing the mind set--this is the hardest thing after surgery. I do not see myself as skinny or average yet and Iam having a hard time knowing when to stop trying to lose the weight. I think I have heard this is a challenge for many. If anyone has any questions, pre-op or post-op, please feel free to ask!!

I think you meant you're in a size 5! **** did you work out a lot?! You look very muscular and it looks like you don't have ANY skin issues. You don't look like you were overweight a day in your life!

OMGosh---I actually got a little teary eyed reading your post! WOW!! I dont know if I have ever had anything like this said to me---Thanks so much! And I dont have much skin issues--I have a little with my tummy but not bad at all. I did work out 4-5 days per week--some 6 days---extreme cardio videos and weights--thanks again.
