Surgery to remove my skin seems so far out of reach

Feb 07, 2015

I don't know what to do. 23K here in Chicago and 14K in mexico. I want to cry I can never save that much on our income. Hell I am on state medical and food stamps. I want the skin gone because it makes shopping for clothes difficult. I cant wear denim and all the boils on my ass suck. I hate the way it feels and the noises it makes during my daily workouts. Blah See the skin in action during a workout

Needing to look into plastic surgery now. I am curious how much i am gonna need to save. I need mostly tummy tuck and thigh/butt lift and skin removed from those locations. And i will live with my former d cups that the skin left barely fills an a cup. Though, that would be my ultimate dream. How much do the other surgeries cost? Oh i am spendi hours looking.

Hey everyone! I am 7 moths post op. I am down from 317 to 180! Only 5lbs left til goal!!! I can't believe I am almost there. Anything more is just a bonus ;o) I have lots of energy for my kids! I bought my wedding dress about a month ago. Size 14!!! (but is able to be taken in up to a size 10) But I think i will be alright. I wont be able to afford a tummy tuck before the wedding so no matter how much more I loose I will be a few sizes bigger from the skin. But I am happy excited. Though at 180 everyone around me is telling me I am getting too skinny?? I am overweight by alot still LOL

Talked to my nut...

Jan 09, 2010

She is concerned because I am getting less than half my calories in and less than half my protein due to my puking up every meal replacement I have yet to try. :o( She told me to eat an egg and string cheese and to get some milk in. Im kinda happy though. Even though thats only for today tomorrow and monday. As tuesday she told me to go back to the liquid diet to flush me out the for surgery on wednesday. I am down now 21 lbs. I feel fantastic. Its the motivation I need to not make this feel like hell!!

One week away...

Jan 05, 2010

  

I made this widget at MyFlashFetish.com.

Hello!! Well I am halfway through my liquid diet. Only one week til surgery! I am doing good. I must admit though.... The first few days were a bitch! (we're not worthy, we're not worthy! lol ) I must admit now.... I am okay with not eating. I CAN DO THIS!! I can still make my kids meals with out feeling like compelled to eat it. Hunger pangs are to a minimal.  I keep telling myself "you cant eat anything, Not one bite of a mac n cheese noodle. If you do, you will have to start all over again. And you will cry like you did before." Yes, I cried it hurt so bad about 2pm on the second day!!! LOL I'm weird probably. I hope this last week flies as quick as this first week has been...
