Hello all you April anniversary people

Not much going on with this board here. I hope everyone is doing well. Lets have roll call. I'll start. I have not gotten to my goal yet, but I am still trying. I am eating well and tracking my food intake and exercise daily. I am losing about 1 lb a week on the average. Need to lose about 10 llbs to get to my personal goal. I am seeing a ps tomorrow to get a consult, not sure what I will have done since I have some other issues that are more pressing to get repaired, like my left knee. ALso my DH is having a serious operation in a few weeks. So I am waiting for him to have a full recovery before I have any surgery. Hope everyone is having a good start to their summer. Take care love to you all Sher

Hello About 10 pounds from my personal goal. Met Doctors goal on my one year. Seeing PS on July 24 for TT, boobs and thighs! Shelly 301 - 165

Shelly, I am sure you can get to your personal goal, congratulations of meeting your doctors goal. Are you having surgery on the 24th or just having consult? I am interested on what you doctor says about working on the thighs, the surgeon I met with wasn't too encouraging about the outcome. Take care Sher

Sher I'll keep your Husband in my prayers. I hope his surgery goes well. I finally broke the 200 mark. I'm at 199. I'm stil losing, just slowly. I never set a weight goal for myself. As long as I did the best I could with my supplements, protein, water, food and exericse then I consider myself a success. I'm finally back to exercising after having to take a month off due to surgery on my vericose veins. I need two additional surgeries for that (one on each leg) I'm not sure when I'll schedule it. I'm not looking forward to being so inactive again. Good luck to both of you with the PS consult. I hope everyone is doing well Lizzie

Lizzie, thanks for your prayers, I am sure things will go well. Congratulations on breaking the 200 mark! It seems like most of us who have not met our goal are losing slowly, but at least we are still losing.. It must be hard to be layed up with your surgeries. After my husband recovers I need to have a knee replaced. I know that that will limit my activities for quite a while. My consult with the ps was ok. He felt he could accomplish good results with a TT, breast lift?implants, and arm lift, he wasn't real encouraging on the thigh lift. I don't know when I will be ready for ps, but I wanted to get an idea about things ahead of time to plan and choose what I would do. Take care Sher

Hi Sher, I read the forum at once daily but haven't posted much. I hope everyone is doing good and enjoying the sun and summer. I know, for me, it is great this year. I can do so many things I couldn't do, even last year. I am still losing some. Had slowed way down and then the last two months have lost about 14 pounds for a total of 150.2 pounds. I want to lose about 20 more then pursue PS. I am in the process of changing jobs so won't have vacation time built up for a while so may be a year or two out. I hope just a year! Keep on losing everyone and posting here to keep us updated. Julia

Julia, you have done fantastic, 150.2 lbs of weight gone forever I am sure you will lose that last 20lbs. Have a greart summer. Sher

Thnks Cher, I am hoping to lose the rest. Will just keep plugging away. Julia

Hello Sher and the rest of the April board. All is well on the Home front here. Hope everyone has a Great 4th, Our Independence day. I am losing about a pound a week, it is slow, but it is moving again. I have lost 10 inches in a month so my body is just readjusting. I am going to wait until I am about 18 months post-op before I start looking into PS. I have to save up money to get a TT and more. So it will down the line some before I can do anything. I would like to lose at least 40 to 50 more pounds to get to goal. We will just have to wait and see what happens. At least I am not gaining, thank God. Hope everyone has a great summer. Kathleen

Kathleen, that's great that you are still losing. I just had a ps consult, not sure when I will have any ps done, my husband is schedualed for surgery in a few weeks and after he recovers I want to have my knee replaced before I do anything else. Have a great summer, keep up the good work. Sher
