boobs, pcos, basics, anniversary....

I lost 100 lbs since surgery, and I was a 44DD and I had gotten lots of attention because of my boobs,by friends and others, though the attention from my friends was just in jest, like i always spilled something on myself when we went out to eat. But I would say that it takes longer for the food to reach my mouth becuase of my boobs. So i joined in on the fun of it. I got my thoughts because of the post (about two posts before me, which the topic is too funny) But now I say my BOOBS ARE LIKE TENNIS BALLS in a tube sock. I really do hope one day I can get approved for Plastics on my hanging belly so then maybe I can afford myself to pay for a boob lift. But I am not sure if my husband and I are going to have a baby, so I also need to wait until we make that decision. Though for many years I was infertile, I have the PCO's (Polycystic ovary syndrom) which affects many women who are overweight, and I had heard that we are very fertile (I mean the women) after this surgery, not sure if for people with PCO's are very fertile in the beginning or some time later on. Well its almost our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY and I hope all are happy with their success, it is always going to be a battle so after all we have gone through and also what we have risked I hope you and I are on the right path and if not, GET BACK ON, I am also saying that for me to belive, lately i have been having head hunger and i let it win once in a while, the strange part is in the middle of the night i want something to eat and also when i wake up on the weekends and i also do take naps on the weekends so i wake up a lot more times. I do good all day, but night time is my down fall. I am planning on going BACK TO BASICS: PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN WEIGH AND MEASURE, WEIGH AND MEASURE FLUIDS, FLUIDS, FLUIDS EXCERCISE, EXCERCISE, EXCERCISE (and I don't mean like only when someone is chasing you) If I am missing anything, please let me know. Journals sometimes helps, (it kinds of makes you accountable to yourself) I actually am going to a new nutritionist tomorrow and am, hoping he can stear me in a good direction, though I am the one who needs to follow it. Love for all! and Hope all is well! xoxo Sheryl 265/147/140 (though I would like to weigh less since i am five feet

I'm right there with ya. I refer to mine as 2 tube socks with grapes on the ends and the rest of my body is that of a Sharpei Puppy. I'm seriously thinking about plastic surgery. I've always heard that you should wait til you are about 18 months post-op to maximize your weight loss. So for now, I'll wait. Sandy 357/210/165

I used to have 44DD's too...now I have 38 Longs! Julie

My boobs have gone away! My mother actually told me yesterday that I needed boobs!! LOL! I am right about where my surgeon wanted me, I think, but I'd like to lose another 10-15 lbs. I still have a week before I can exercise, so we'll see what happens when I get back to the gym. I also have to see a neurologist on Thurs. because I've developed drop foot. Walking is not a fun thing right now... I'm just falling apart!! Anyone have any glue?? Let's keep going, Marchies.... Susie 235/135

I love the 38 long comment! The tennis balls in socks is also a good analogy, although I don't think I could give myself that much credit! I have been likening my boobs to deflated water balloons and my butt a soufle that just crashed! Small price to pay, I suppose! Annie
