Hi Denise, I don't usually find time to post often, but I read all the time. Congrats on your bundle...I am so happy for you. News here is that my insurance company just approved my tummy tuck surgery. I am very excited, but have a lot of work to do to see if I can finance breast lift and augment at the same time. I am still 20 pounds from my goal, but I will get there. Especially with the surgery prep regime that I am putting myself on. 100 grams protein, 128 ounce water, 1 hour weight training (4-5 /week), and the vitamins (of course). I, like you, wonder about my February brothers and sisters. I know we are all living and dealing with much more active lives since our surgeries and have less and less time to be on the computer. I hope alot of people respond, sure would like to hear what is going on with everyone. Dorothy 325/185/165

Hi Annette - have a great weekend. Celebrating with family is a great time. Happy Birthday. Well the weekend is happening now and it's cold, wet and raw outside here in Central PA. I just treated my daughter to a kids meal at wendy's and I got a baked potato and a BIGGIE iced tea. Tomorrow we will be carving her pumpkins and I hope to finish her halloween costume. My husband works all weekend, so it's just us girls. Have fun and be safe. Denise

Lee, I know you will soon have a wonderful baby. Try to relax and not put alot of pressure on yourself. I know I have 2 kids too. It has a effect so take a relaxing bath and a deep breath.... Think happy thoughts. I will be thinking of you Best of Luck! Jill

Hey there, good to see you, I dont see you on here that much anymore... I am willing to try anything and faith is somthing that I have, and I hope will bring us through this with a child or two Thanks for your support. xoxox

I was just checking the February board just to see what was going on with people who had the surgery along the same time I did. I am maintaining my weight loss. I was in Louisiana about two months ago due to heat loss six pounds water I assume. I have since put most of that back on but if you look at my profile I have maintain since April at 182 pounds. Now this is what works for me. I measure using only 1/2 cup, no I am not full on 1/2 cup but this is my stopping point; I drink 100 ounces of water daily, and I walk 25/30 miles per week; I write down everything I eat. I would like to lose back down to 176 or 175. I don't do the protein drinks anymore, I notice in the posting this seems to be the key so, I will invest in a case of protein this weekend and see what happen. For those who have gain don't beat upon yourself, you have done well. Try and use some of the pointer that work for me and see will this help you. After all we are in the together for the rest of our life. Read my profile it may or may not help you. I know you can DO IT! Happy Tuesday! Shirley
