Hiya Di g/f, I haven't been doing the yoyo weight. I just loose a couple of #'s then stop there for a couple of weeks. I knew and read before surgery that there would be excess skin, however I never really fully comprehended how I might look after a huge weight loss. Here's a (((HUG))) fer ya.

Yippeeeeeeee, I am not alone. This month so far I have only lost 1.5 pounds and my surgery date was 08-19-03, so I only have another week to lose more weight for this month. I too have flabby skin and will eventually need a tummy tuck. I work on my arms by lifting weights at least 5 times a week. Have you ever thought of this, maybe you are gaining muscle and losing fat ... remember muscle weights more then fat!
Best of luck,
Tina

Hi everyone. Gee it's great to know I'm not alone. I'll be 8 mo.out on the 25th and I too have good wks and not so good wks. I'm down 113#s, got at least 35 - 40 to go. I was not fortunate to have become sugar intolerant, therefore it seems I crave it. Especially chocolate!!! I justify it to myself if it's in the form of peanut M&Ms (you know-Protien from the nuts
I have days that I feel pretty and think "Girl you got it going on" but then I have days that I can't see much difference, but then I remind myself that it has only been 8 months and that's probably alot longer than I had ever stayed on a diet at one time. We'll all get there, I'm sure....and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Life is grand.....even the birds are singing louder.
Oh, and yes there is the skin thing, but that too can be fixed......

Bev,
I was 8 months post op on the 4th and also down 86 lbs. I went from sizes 2x and 20/22/24 depending on the make to m/l shirts and 6/8/10 pants. I bought a new capri pants outfit that are 4/6 and the shirt is a medium! Isn't life grand! God has given me a new life and I'm so very thankful for the physical and emotional good it has brought me.
