surgery August 23rd...weight loss

Hi...i was 298 in the hospital and now i am 240 so thats like 60 pounds anywho i am happy now that i realized...you have to eat to loose weight...so now i feel like i am constantly eating does anyone else feel like this? and i can er a 16 but my tummy hangs over just a little bit....the 16 is from lane bryant and they tend to run a little big anywho i guess i am just venting....im happy i am getting smaller but my body is hangning anyone hav tips on the arms hanging and stomach? Rachael

I wish I did have tips on that. My stomach was where I carried most of my weight and now pants are huge on the legs if they fit on the tummy. I have also been noticing the bat wings on my arms these days. Ive lost 76 pounds and have not changed a clothing size yet in the pants, depressing but I am sure it will come in time. Hopefully I will be able to get down to goal by summer and have a tummy tuck. Patty
