Two years post-op and living life large, but not LARGE
Here I am two years post-op and I can't believe how good I feel. The excess skin drives me a little batty, but I've yet to decide if I want surgery to remove it. My boyfriend doesn't see the excess skin that I see, and my doctor says I have less excess skin than other post-op's have. I guess it's because I excercise a lot and drink plenty of skim milk in my protein shakes for breakfast. Dr. Pehrsson told me there is an enzyme in the milk to help tighten the skin and I took him at his word and continue to drink milk. I even bath in in at times. I am in a size 12 or 14 depending upon the cut of the clothes and I am continuing to lose, although slower than before. I just finished a week camping trip to Yosemite and hiked and hiked and rode horses, too. I never could have done it before. I encourage you to keep up the good fight!
