This surgery ..... OMG !!!! Newbies Listen Up !!
I guess this is my 6 almost 7 month update Let me tell U will not regret your decision 6 months out ... Please take your measurements and a before photo.... I wish I did both.
I started out at in 5X shirt going in to a 6X and posslibly having to buy clothes online. I could no longer buy shoes in a store I had to buy those online. I was in a size 10WW or 11W too damnbig!! I am now in a 22/24 some 18/20's fall /winter clothes will be an 18/20 an 14/16's ... I can't believe I just posted that. I'm in tears. I can wear some M witdh shoes 9 1/2's some 9W 10M's ... I still have at least 100 lbs to go so I may end up in a size 8 1/2 ...
With that said, This surgery is effortless. Not saying you don't hv to work hard at losing the weight, but just when you're about to throw the scale out thev window something amazing happens ... you drop inches !!!
Admittedly I haven't been a model DSer, food demons have crept in on many occassions. Nothing has been off limits ... And I still lost ... omg .. Am I suggesting you do what I did... NO !!! But I'm posting this to say you cannot fail, you wont fail !!!!!
I'm not a a race to lose I know it will happen. The extra skin scares me. A lot of which is why I'm slowing down my weight loss. But my body takes over and I still lose the weight. I'm trying to hold on to the junk in my hood (breasts) and the junk in my trunk. My breasts have gone south of the border. When I roll them up in my bra they look really good ... lol I am sooo happy with the way I look in my clothes ... (SPANX, SPANX)
And the WOW's just keep coming
- My energy is through the roof
- I'm hot stuff ... always have been but even more so now ... lol I can't stop touching myself. Not like that. The vets know what I'm talking about.
- I can fit in a restaurant booth now
- I can wear my seat belt rather than wrapping it around my gear shift.
- I can shop anywhere rather than specialty stores
- All the old boyriends think I'm still hot. They liked me when I was fat. I've never been under 300 in my adult life
- I can get all the housework done in a matter of hours rather than days
- I can run ... gotta watch out for the clapping noise the extra skin makes My son will stop and say "Mom,what's that noise ... LMAO !!!!!!! Too Funny .... (SPANX)
- I stay awake now while driving and at work.
- I can wear high heel shoes
- I can walk for long periods of time
- I can go up and down steps (run)
That's enough for now
All total I'm down 110 and loving life
I can honestly say I looooove my DS!!!
