Christi, You are doing so great! Congratulations to you for staying the course and keeping track of what you eat and exercising to boot! I think we definately need a challenge to keep us in the losing mode. Jenn

Hello, Susan. Good to "see" you here. I had PS in November. I had a breast lift (no implants), an extended TT (with the anchor cut) and an extended thigh lift (running a little over half way down my thighs). I had some problems with the thigh lift and had to have an additional surgery in Dec. to remove a large baseball sized hematoma. Since my surgeries, I have also had the pleasure of my body spitting out several "disolvable" (my a$$) stitches. I am FINALLY feeling good. The breast lift was NOTHING compared to the thighs. The TT wasn't much to complain about either after the first week. I LOVE my new boobies. I wish I had gotten implants, but I keep reminding myself that I look natural and that since it is ALL ME I won't have to worry about issues with them down the road. I am a B-cup, but look nice in a push-up bra. I can wear a medium top and not worry about buying a larger size to fit my big boobs, like my sister has to do. I thought I would feel so much better in a bathing suit after the PS, but I still don't like the way I look in a bathing suit...go figure. I still have extra skin under my arms and my lovely bat wings. I need a revision on my thighs, so I will probably STILL end up buying a skirted suit. I need to hit the treadmill and the weight machine to see what else I can do to tone up before I hit the beach. I found my surgeon on OH and am very pleased with the one I chose. I met with him and he said that I had to be 1 year out from my WLS and maintain for over 3 mos, which I did. I just couldn't imagine dealing with the sagging skin and body issues for another year or two. I am glad I had it done when I did. Keep us posted. Good luck. Hugs Tabby

Michelle! I was looking at your recent pictures and you look fabulous!! Way to go! I'm so happy that you are still able to lose generous amounts this far out. Like I said above, we need to make our goal weights what we are comfortable with and also take into account where we came from weight wise. I know that because I weighed much more than most here, I will never see the lower weights. I'm learning to be ok with that. Keep up the good fight. You are inspiring to us all! Jenn

Hello Annetta! It sounds like we all have appoximately the same amounts to lose. I hope the pouch test works out for you. Keep us posted! Jenn

Hi Dawn! Wow! You really have tried everything, LOL! I know exactly what you mean about trying to become "unstuck". Congratulations on making the scale move!! That is quite an accomplishment! The new eating plan sounds really interesting. I'd love to see a copy of it. I still use FitDay but the computer version. It works great for me and I'm almost addicted to making sure I document my intake. I know it's the only way I will ever keep the weight off and I will have to do it for the rest of my life. Congratulations again on your recent loss! Jenn
