Hiya Summer, Thank you so much for your very kind words. A size 10 for you is probably the same as a size 8 for me because you are taller than me. My shirts are still a large and I think unless I go for breast reduction they will stay there, lol. What stinks is I cant buy dresses, I tried on some 10's that were fine on the bottom but WAY too tight across the chest. Oh well!! I guess I could still be a much larger size on both!! I am sure it must get discouraging but I am sure your plateau is temporary. Regardless you look absolutely fabulous just as you are! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Hiya Angel, Yeah, I know what you mean about being happy about where you are at. I have had mini plateaus the past few months and each time I said to myself - well if this is it I am soooo much better off than where I was so I have to be thankful for where I am at. I am glad you are so much healthier now! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

Hi April, It looks to me like you are doing wonderfully! You have lost 100 lbs!!! You will continue to lose weight and of course it will slow down as we go, but I have no doubt that you can lose this last 50 lbs. It may take another 6 months, but you will do it!!! God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea 223/142/123

What is Water Loading? I'm just past 5 months.. had my surgery November 23rd and I have never heard of this. I am currently on a plateau.. and anything I can do to help break it.. I am willing to try. Can someone please enlighten me? Thanks so much! Tracey 289/195/140

Is anyone starting this procedure yet? According to the Pouch Rules for Dummies, we should be starting this. Just wondering if anyone is doing it and if it helps with those nasty plateaus.
