Holly - I hear ya, even after my PS, I look in the mirror and I know I don't look heavy like I was before WLS, not even close, but I feel chubby. Is that how you feel? Even after my tummy tuck and breast lift, I'm still not happy like I know I should be. I'm so critical of myself. Now I want my arms done and a butt lift. LOL!! Congrats on being 1/2 the person you used to be. NOW STOP LOSING!!! You're BMI is on the low side! But how awesome do you feel? I wonder if having busy triplets is what keeps the weight coming off? lol!

Good evening wonderful people. Thanks so much for your words of wisdom! HW 280's PreOP 267 Last week 166.2 Today: 167.2 I am still 100 pounds lighter....still....I will take that with a smile! Ok, so I thought about this...I am coming off of the Depo Provera shot after almost 8 years and have had my period for the last month and a half, heavy...not just a light one. I am wondering if this weight that is crazy up and down..is related to this. Please my last apt with the surgeon, he said I had a huge Vitamin D issue. I was 16 and it was supposed to be 30. I am now on pills for that as well. With the Vitamin D issue, and not being super obese, I was told that I needed to change birth control because the Depo is a pre-curser to Osteopenia with causes osteoporosis! I don't want broken bones every where!

What a fantastic job, Rich! It's just amazing how quickly we can become 1/2 of who we used to be . Are you planning plastics soon?

Good Monday Afternoon My January Lovelies! It is positively gorgeous here in Ca...can't beat the perfect weather. I'm planning a long walk this afternoon just so that I can enjoy the weather. So, on to the reason we are here: Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Monday: 145.0 Today: 143.6 Loss/gain: -1.4 Back down to my normal stable weight (within .2) and feeling sort of silly about fretting over a pound and a half. But, I noticed that just that 1.5 pounds (actually more since I did hit 146 for a couple of days) did make a difference with the way that my jeans fit. Is it all in my head? Eh...who knows. Either way...I feel better. Have a wonderful week everyone! ~Suz

Good Morning Everyone! It is a beautiful day with the sun shining but I am looking at it through the windows in and air conditioned room...the temp already reads 96 and it is only 10:30 in the morning. I haven't weighed in lately. I got a little scale driven and put it away just making sure I ate following the rules. I last weighed in almost a month ago so I am going to use the LM abbreviation instead of the LW abbreviation. I am not sure if I am going to weigh in weekly or not. I don't ever want to gain more than a few pounds before I address the issue, and I probably could do a lot of damage in a one month time, but I think I do better if I stay away from the scale. I will figure it out. Here are my stats: HW 367 SW 357 LM 211 CW 206 I lost 5 pounds this month and have lost a total of 161 pounds. Katy B
