Topic: RE: Questions about Plastic Surgery...
I have done some research, but every dr. I have talked to says that I need to be at goal for at least 6 months before they will consider it. My insurance wont pay for any of my PS, so I have to find one that will let me finance.
Good luck in your search, and Great job on the weight loss.

Topic: RE: Questions about Plastic Surgery...
I'm about 40 lbs from my personal goal and 10 from my surgeon's for me. I am already thinking about plastic surgery becuase I have a plethora of excess skin. I am pretty sure that I am going to have to pay for some of it myself. One of the first things I'd like to have done are my batwings. Then my stomach. After that boobs, possibly thighs and I'd like to see if they can do something about my turkey neck. My insurance is pulling out of the NY market at the end of this month and I am still not sure what plan I am picking up after that. I have to make sure that my PCP, surgeon, sons' doctor, podiatrist and eye doctor that we use are all on my new insurance. Then I will deal with PS. Our open enrollment is in June so I can research further and go for an insurance that might give me more options. At this point tho, I am in the beginning stages of searching for a good surgeon.
Good luck with your search.

Tarra...looks like the carbs are really high with this plateu buster. That is probably due to 1/2 grapefruit 3x's a day. Was this plan by a bariatric nutritionist or Dr.? Because we really have to watch the carbs and sugar counts.
Everything else looks really good except the protein. Maybe you should add a protein supplement to up that count because w/o protein being the highest number (other than calories) we don't lose the way we need to nor get the required nutrition our muscles need. Remember our heart is a muscle too. Push the protein.
Glad you joined us and hope it helps.
In His love,

Topic: Questions about Plastic Surgery...
I'm about 25lbs shy of my goal weight and was wondering had any of you considered having plastic surgery. I was told that Blue Cross Blue Shield (which is what I have)pays for a tummy tuck after one year and 100 lbs gone. Are any of you aware of this? I'm going to contact my insurance company, but I was just curious if any of you were seeking info on the same topic.

Hello -
I followed the plateau plan (with slight reductions in the amount of protein - i probaly should have chosen to reduce the other items instead of the protein, since it looks like I came up a little short in that area) which is as follows...
Bfast
1 scrambled egg, 1 turkey bacon, 1/2 grapefruit, 1 silver dollar pancake (I made them for my daughter, and tasted one...this was not part of the plan)
Snack
2 oz. unsalted cashews
Lunch
2 oz. grilled tilapia (not certain about this - I didn't weigh), 1/2 cup broccoli, 1/2 grapefruit
Snack
Strawberry s/f Lite Yogurt
Dinner
2 grilled chicken drummettes, 1/2 cup broccoli, 1/2 grapefruit
Snack
1 healthy choice ice cream bar (i haven't eaten this yet, but probably will later)
I only had two bottles of water today 
Total according to spark people:
CALORIES CARBS FAT PROTEIN
986 102 43 53

Topic: ouch.... I fell :(
I fell down my basement stairs the other day. Only about the last three but enough to bang myself up pretty good. I'm ok, nothing broken but my one hand and wrist is quite sore so it hurts to type. I just wanted to let y'all know why I'm not posting right now. I'll be back as soon as my hand is up to typing
