Anyone else losing REALLY slow out there??

Hi Lawrence, Congrats on your weight loss and for responding to my post. Good for you for listening to your body. You are the only one who knows what you are feeling . If gaining back a few lbs. made you feel better--than that is great. Good luck with the tummy tuck. Let me know how you make out...Oh last week I made my goal of weighing 171. Boob job is January and tummy tuck is after that in maybe March. Insurance will cover only part of the tummy tuck and not the boobs. I saved so much on our food bills that I will be okay. Is insurance covering your tummy tuck?? just wondering..............Angie

My surgery date was 7-3-03 and I lost from 385lbs to 194lbs in 6 months. After that my weight loss has just been a balance of the scales. I go from 190 to 200. I don't actually lose anymore than that. My abdominoplasty and breast lift/reduction are tomorrow. I hope to loose at least 15 lbs. from that....I guess I'll just be happy.

Hi Rebecca, Sorry I did not respond sooner. I was away on vacation. Congrats on your weight loss and let me know how you make out with your plastic surgery. My plastic surgeon will not perform the breast/augmentation and tummy tuck at the same time---he said it was an insurance thing. Good luck to you and e-mail when you are up to it.........Angie Wagner

Angie, Hang in there the weight will come off. I had my surgery 7/30/03 after awhile the weight slowed down, but I notice when I stopped weighing myself everyday, or every other day, and continued eating right, when I did decide to weigh in I had lost, if only a pound. I started out at 276 and I can't believe it I'm now at 139. This isn't a easy task you really have to work at it I'm 5'4 I actually believe the heavier you are the more you lose. I contribute most of my weight loss to exercise and drinking alot of water. If you have a chance check out my profile it has some good information about me and the surgery. I have passed my goal and eating more carbs to stop losing. GOD bless!

Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for the advice. I am always trying to get in my water, but it's all a matter of just doing it. I work in a gym, but am so busy helping everyone else out, that I forget to make time for myself. Good for you for making it to your goal. I did check out your profile. Thanks again. Continued success----------Angie
