Look forward to seeing you at three months. Seems like that's the point that changes are most apparent. I was amazed at how much thinner I was side to side, but then I realized that the fat on the sides of my chest were pushing my arms out. Today, I have very little of that left, and now I'm losing the love handles.

I'm one of those strange people who doesn't take them. As weird as it may seem, I want no memories of my old, fat self. That guys no longer exists in my mind.

Welcome to the forum, friend.
You'll be grateful for these pics in a few short months. You won't BELIEVE the transformation that you are just beginning. It's an incredible journey, truly!

Why didn't I take pictures pre op with clothes on  . I would love to post before pics but I had the bright idea to take them in my bra and underwear. I wouldn't torture everyone with those images.
I can't wait to see your transformation.
