I have not lost any weight lately--still at 205 but I have lost some inches!!! I went to walmart and tried on a 16/18 shirt and it was too big, I had to get a 12/14!! I also tried on a 12/14 pair of pants and was shocked when they slid right on. I couldn't hardly believe it. Hopefully the weight will start to drop off again soon.

Best of luck with your surgery. I'm also having my LBL on the 31st. I had arm lift and breast lift with augmentation August 15. My mom stayed with me for 5 days, which was extremely helpful. My doc said I needed someone with me for at least the first 24 hours. I could have managed on my own after 2 days, but it was nice not to have to. He gave me the same 24 hour rule for the LBL, however I'll be in the hospital for the first night, so the 24 hours applies to day 2. Pain was not too bad, take meds as prescribed. My breasts were sensitive and quite sore for a while, but again, not too unbearable. Results so far are good, and I'm looking forward to having the LBL complete. Let me know if you have any questions. Kim

Chris, Will we need someone at home with us the first couple of days? My daughter is going to stay with me the first two days after I get home. Its Football Season and my husbands a coach. He asked me if I wanted to wait until after Football Season, I replied "No Way" . I told him not to worry, I will be o.k.

Well lets see, I am about 168 pounds (started at 265 higest weight 282) haven't lost any more weight since March. I try to make good choices when I eat but I have to admit that it doesnt always happen. I am scheduled for an abdominalplasty October 31st. I'm very excited and also very scared scared. I hope that I will be up and around in a couple of days because my hubby can only take 3 days off because he is going on his yearly vacation with his brothers next week and then al lhis vacation time will be used up. I dont want to by my TT off til next year, I want it done and over with. Hope eveyone else is doing Great

I would like to hear from others that are May babies who have had PS. Specifically a "full" body lift (front and back) all they way around/Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation with implants. If anyone out there has already had this surgery I would like to here from you in reference to recovery and what to expect i.e. results, healing process. Etc. I'm between 5'1"-5'2" 126 lbs. Size 1-3. Prior to surgery I weighed 235.5 and wore a size 18-20. I'm really looking forward to my surgery; I'm scheduled for October 31.

Things are going pretty good. Still loosing weight, not very fast but it's still coming off. I hoped to be at a goal weight of 210 by 18 months out. Still might make it but not looking good. I am not going to do any kind of "diet" just to make it to some arbitrary number. So far I've lost over 200 lbs - I just can't get my head around that yet. Maybe I never will. I came across an old photo of me and I didn't recognize myself. Was I REALLY that heavy? I keep it in my wallet now as inspiration to stay on track. I sort of struggle with the idea of a "goal weight" and focus more on what I am able to do rather than a number on a scale. That being said I still want to hit my goal. Physically I feel great. I have really taken to running. Not that I like it every time I lace up some running shoes, but more often than not I get a 'need' to run if I take a couple of days off. I would love to get in 15 miles a week - but that's tough because of time. As I have become faster it's a little easier. I usually get in about 8-10 miles a week. I run in road races at least once a month, so I am always "in training" for the next one. Other aspects of life are hit or miss. My marriage has rebounded after some rough patches not anything to do with WLS just normal 'stuff'. I am struggling with work - quite bored and just punching the clock. I don't feel challenged or rewarded. I am just going through the motions. I think a change is in order, but what that change is I have no idea. Looking into that now. The last photo I have on-line of me is from January. I've lost another 50 lbs since then. But here's a link to it: http://www.wlsfriends.com/members/feeney/feeney_real.jpg

Well lets see! I can't see myself the way others do! Body dysmorphia is some harsh stuff! I have lost 210 lbs and weigh today at 213. I am in the midst of waiting for insurance approval for abdominalplasty. Doc says they will remove 30 pounds off stomach and fix my hernia. I have a grade 5 panni which is the worst you can have! Everyone is telling me not to loose anymore because after the PS there will be nothing left of me! (Have they looked at me with open eyes?) I mean really I am still 213 how can any one say that! Even with a 30 pound removal I am still going to be LARGE! Food wise I am doing alot of brown beans, chicken and watermelon. Those are my main staples. I still can't get in my 64 ounces of water. I am still not drinking with meals and staying away from sugar like it was the plague! I am religiously taking all my meds everyday! I feel like a million dollars!! There has been so many people not recognize me and kept going! I love it! It seems like everyone from school days know who I am now as where the people I have met with in the last 5 to 8 years don't even know me! It's funny I can't see what others see but I do see it in my clothes and in my husbands HUG! He can lap his arms right around me! Oh I weigh less them him too!! Thats a first! lol Enough jibber from me, it's someone else's turn! Lisa 423/213/ healthy
