I totally get why some of you wonder, ‘Why not just get it all done at once?’ But I’m all about doing this the safe way and practicing patience. I have to live the lifestyle I talk about. I’m not in a rush for the end result, as long as I’m making the right choices and taking the steps to get where I want to go. #looseskinsurgey #weightlossjourney #looseskinsolution #aftersurgery #looseskinstruggles #skinremovalrecovery@Athēnix
Super excited about my results so far from @gavindrymd even with the swelling, I can already see the progress taking shape! Can’t wait to see how things look in a few months. From the bellybutton to the stitch lines, the work done couldn’t be better. Now it’s all about staying disciplined: focusing on hydration, nutrition, steps, and giving my body the time it needs to heal. #weightlossjourney #looseskin #looseskinsurgery #looseskinsupport #@Athēnix
This has been a long road, and we’re not done yet. But I’m proud of myself for not giving up when things got hard. I hope that as I document this entire process, some people will learn from my mistakes and feel inspired to make the same decisions I did. You can still be proud of yourself if you’re willing to put in the work to change the problems you face. Never forget, it took the 600-pound version of me to start this journey—I’m just the outcome of that decision of not giving up #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #improudofmyself #skintemovalsurgery
Not a bad-looking belly button! @gavindrymd A lot of people ask about my belly button—yes, I got to keep my original one, lol. And yes, I was definitely on medication—10 out of 10! I actually forgot I even filmed this clip until I started editing it. #skinremovalsurgery #looseskin #weightloss #weightlossjourney #looseskinsolution
I was shocked off camera on how good the incisions are looking! My fear was the belly button and scars because not done correctly. It can look really bad. But I am generally happy. At the work @gavindrymd did and it’s only been 22 days! #scars #weightlossjourney #weightloose #looseakin #looseskinsurgery #skinremovalsurgery #360bodyliftrecovery @Athēnix
Something I’m learning is that after care is definitely a must. Recovery is no joke and we might as well do everything to help with recovery. you guys know I don’t post no BS but @bodybabesla I feel so much better after my sessions. I actually look forward to them lol just be ready to pee a lot after 😂 #weightlossjourney #looseskin #looseskinremoval #looseskinsurgery @Body Babes la
My skin removal surgery is just three days away, and I’m starting to feel a little nervous, but not for reasons most people might expect. I’ve been on this journey for almost five years, constantly pushing myself with very few setbacks( things that forced me to not go to the gym) —aside from a shoulder injury. This will be the longest time I’ve been away from the gym in years, and honestly, that’s the part that’s making me the most nervous. But I know this is just another part of the journey. It’s a chance to patience, discipline, and consistency in a new way. Progress isn’t just about always doing more—it’s about staying committed, even when things slow down. Recovery is part of the process, and I’m ready for what comes next. #skin #looseskinsurgery #skinremovalrecovery #myfirstsurgery #skinremovalsurgerysoon #iam1stphom @Athēnix
Had to get one more pump in before we go under the knife and finish what we started! And I’m excited to bring you all along with me!! I truly hope by documenting everything it scares most of you straight, and it shows the others that you can fix the problem you caused! #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #looseskin #weightlossstory
When I asked this question, I wasn’t expecting a whole year! But it makes sense for such an intense surgery. Even though I’m only 13 days post-op, I’m already noticing a big difference. #weightloss #weightlossjourney #looseskin #looseskinsurgery #looseskinreduction #looseskinsolution
Just like my Weight loss journey it will take time. Something I have learned in this process is called discipline unfortunately, it’s not the funniest thing to wait months, but it’s the right thing to do #weightloss #weightlossjourney #looseskinsurgery #looseskinremovaljourney #looseskinsolution #looseskinjourney @Athēnix
Day 5 postop check-in: met with the doctors today, and everything’s looking good! Drains will stay in for a few more days, which means a little longer here than I’d hoped. But I’d rather go home when it’s safe and not put my body through extra stress. Focusing on what I can control and letting go of the rest. #weightlossjourney #looseskin #looseskinsurgery #looseskinstruggles #looseskinsurgeryamust@Athēnix
A lot of you wanted to know what happens to my belly button after surgery @gavindrymd breaks it down for us I was actually shocked and a little nervous after asking him this question 😂 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #skinrwmoval #looseskin #weightlossmotivation @Athēnix
Even with the swelling, I’m impressed! The last couple of days, I have been resting and on a lot of meds, lol, but I’m happy! I meet with the doctor in a couple of days. What kind of content would you like me to shoot with him? What questions would you like me to answer? #looseskinsurgery #looseskin #skinremovalsurgerysoon #skinremovalsurgerypostweightloss @Athēnix
Don’t come for me people I have my receipt’s 😂 I’m happy I can still be a smart ass well heavily medicated people love to give there input on how others should live their life but I’ll let my work show and the professionals give me the advice #weightloss #weightlossjourney #looseskinsurgery #liposurgry
I know I like to joke around, but in all honesty, I’m definitely listening to @gavindrymd . He knows best, and my body knows best—even though I’m going crazy, and it’s only been a week! This is where the discipline really kicks in. lol #weightlossjourney #looseskin #looseskinsurgery #skinremovalsurgery #loseskinweightloss @Athēnix
I initially started posting content to document my own life changes, but it’s incredible to see how it’s become something much bigger. What I didn’t expect was the ripple effect it would create—people not only getting inspired by my journey but actually taking steps to change their own lives. The conversations, feedback, and messages I get now show me that it’s more than just sharing my progress; it’s about building a community of people who are motivated to make real changes. They’re learning from my experiences, my mistakes, and using that knowledge to transform their own lives. It’s truly humbling to see how what started as a personal journey is helping others on their path to becoming the best versions of themselves. #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossinspiration #looseskinsurgery #looseskin #massiveweightlossjourney@Athēnix
Not going to lie, these drains are annoying, but they definitely get the job done and are part of this recovery. Got to take the good with the bad. #weightlossjourney #looseskinremoval #looseskinsurgery #looseskinsurgeryamust #360bodyliftrecovery
From what I’ve been told, it really just depends on the person‘s body. I’ll keep you updated on how long my last drain stays in my next post will be them removing it. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #looseskin #looseskinremoval #360bodyliftrecovery
Six weeks postop from my skin removal surgery, and I’m so excited to share the results! Even though I’m still swollen, the work @gavindrymd did is absolutely incredible. While I’ve had some healing complications, the surgery itself went perfectly. People have asked if I’d do it again or if I’m just as excited for my next two surgeries, and my answer is 100% YES. Having 22 pounds of excess skin removed is already a life changer, and I can’t wait to fully embrace this new chapter once I’m back and herald 🙏🏽 #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #360bodyliftrecovery #looseskin #looseskinsurgery @Athēnix
When I had a drain as a kid, I passed out when they pulled it out. To be 100% honest, it was all in my head. Some people say it hurts, while others say they don’t feel a thing. Personally, I didn’t feel anything—just the sensation of something moving inside me. Kind of weird, right? One more drain to go. #skinremovalsurgerysoon #looseskin #skinrwmovaljourney #369bodylift #skinremovalrecovery #weightlossjourney #lymphaticdrainage @Body Babes la @Athēnix
