yes, me too, i feel like I am eating ALL the time! And then my son starts fussing because I never eat, lol! Anyway, protein shakes, I have drunk so many of them in the past two years, I cant stand them anymore plus, they actually fill me up so I eat even less... How frustrating... Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it

Most days I am struggling to get in 1000 a day but my goal that I am shooting for is 1200-1300 a day (not making it unless I eat real evil food, lol). I like where I am now weight-wise for the most part, but if I have a busy busy day or two and totally forget to eat (I still do not get hungry at all) I end up losing a couple pounds and this is not a good thing anymore I assure you plus then I get episodes of being very shaky and dizzy. So, I'm just wondering where I fall in the calorie range of the rest of you 2-yr graduates...am I close? I do wish they had something on this site like sparkpeople and fitday and such where you can track your food and see what others have eaten to give you an idea but until then, I get to ask you myself Thank you guys in advance for your help, I really appreciate it

I don't even have that I swear I look worse than when I was a preteen Oh well, maybe one day I can get the tummy tuck, breast implants, etc... it is on my "wish list" for the future

Jenni, Thanks---I feel amazing. Still have a little swelling so a chance still of fitting into an size 8 pants when that is all gone. Now in loose 10 and never thought that would happen. I did not have a lot of lipo---mostly in the Mons area and a little on the sides. I bruise easily so maybe you won't bruise so bad. The pain was not terrible. The first couple of days was hard getting out of the hospital bed but when home I had a lift chair and after a couple of days I really did not need it to lift me up all the way. My dry scratchy eyes bothered me more than the tummy. Good luck with your surgery and let us know how it goes. Julia

Julia you look amazing! How are you feeling today? If I may ask how much lipo did you have? You are so black and blue in the pictures, I go on Tuesday for a tummy tuck and I am a bit freaked out. I can only hope I have as good of results as you!
