WHERE ARE YOU AT ???

**** Update *** BOY!! I can't believe it, by this time(time passed), dont people settle, and some gain weight back?? Checking in here.... I hadn't lost anything in a month or so, and then BAMM!!! I started losing again.. I did notice I started eating a little more, and trying to drink more maybe?? Within a week or so I lost another 5 lbs !! At 20 months out!!! WOW!! Wish I could say I ran amarathon or something.. but I didnt.. How are you guys doin'???? Tanya 358/178/185

Hi Tanya, Sounds like you are doing well. I have now weighed the same for the better part of a year: 160ish give or take a pound here or there. I run 5 times a week up to 4 miles and can't loose another pound and keep it off to save my life. The good news is: I don't care anymore. IF this is what I am to weigh: Then so be it, I am pretty happy where I am. I started at 274 and 160 is great. I am probably not as good at eating as I should be: I get plenty of protein and water but probably too many carbs... but ya know? I am happy with what I am doing. Take care, jacqueline

I began at 325 and then got down to 210, but had gained back to 225....after my first reconstruction I'm at 202 - 203. ~~em

How was round 1 ??? I saw posts from hubby, but this is the first I've seen from you... How is everything going?? I'm trying to sdecide what type I want done FIRST!! LOL!! Tanya

Tanya, I'm doing well. I am 4 weeks out of surgery and have lost 22 lbs (we think that about 17 - 20 of that was skin). I still have one drain (came home with 2) and am wearing a binder around my abdomen. I can not lift anything, but am able to work since I do bookkeeping. I still take pain meds, but only at night, that is when I have the most pain and they allow me to sleep through the night. I am also still sleeping in the recliner because my incision hurts when I lay on it. But I can tell you, after getting through the first 48 hours of questioning my sanity...I am very glad I had this surgery!!! Next to the gastric bypass, it is the best thing I have done...and I can not wait to have my breasts done (I will have revision liposuction at the same time)...I will look and feel better than I ever have! My surgeon recommended the panni first because he wanted me to be able to heal before doing the less invasive surgery....I'm very glad I did! Let me know what you decide to do!!! ~~em

I'm SO glad for you!!!! Can you message me if insurance paid, type, and how much it costed?

I haven't lost in 7 months and I am 20 months out also I just can't seem to get past 182. Its driving me nuts because I am doing everything possible to lose it and I can't!! I workout and walk 5 miles a day 5 x week do circuit training, spin class, elliptical and nothing!! Everyone says its muscle but it still gets frustrating. My stomach has a tire around it that I can't get rid of and I don't think I can get a tt for it or my boobs unless I get a rash. If you can think of something to jump start the weightloss let me know because nothing so far is working to make it work again.

I started to force myself too eat a little morre and and even if I didnt wqant to eat when I worked late, II would eat a little protien..

Good to see some action on this board for a change. I guess we all have been too busy living life!! I hadnt lost anything in about 8 months,,couldnt get past 198 for anything. Then all of a sudden it started dropping again,,and inches too! I hit 191 this past week. The only thing I did was buy a new brand of protein,,kinda shook up the old menu so to speak,,and started drinking 2 shakes a day . A friend had told me he did that to jump start theloss. Well, it worked ,,at least a little bit. DOntknow if I will keep losing or not,, time will tell. Blessings Betsy

I haven't lost any weight since October. My lowest was 165, but I'm running at around 175 right now. I work out at least 4 times a week and do weights and cardio. I actually don't weigh so much anymore. I'm not terribly worried about it these days. 298/175/165 but, I'm happy where I am
