Hi to all us December Babies! 1. Pre-op 288/ Current 235/ Goal 170 2. Favorite foods: Shrimp, blue cheese...I know, tomatoes 3. I feel like I am stalled right now...have been 235 for a week now, but I think I do that. Stall for 2 weeks and then lose major weight for 2 weeks. Ups I can now wear an 18 can also fit into a 16, but won't wear them outside yet. 4. Does anybody else feel this way too? Hugs all, Brooke

Brooke I do. I have on a pair of 22 jeans right now. Every time I get out of the car I have to take my hand and run across the back seam. To make sure it is still center with my butt and not over to the left. I don't know why I will not come out of these clothes. It took Hurricane Katrina to make me get rid of the 315(weight) clothes. Then I had the 24-28 I wore until my son told me don't do it. Said I looked like I was trying to wear my pants like the Hip Hop. Didn't wear those any more. Now I need to be out of these 22's and I just keep wearing them. I think in my head its all those years of ups and downs in sizes. Just really feel I will get up in the morning and can't fasten them. Oh how many times have I been there.

Hey Everyone! 1. Well i am 5' 4. My highest weight was 324/pre op 290/ current 228/ goal 140ish 2. i lovee cheese and lunch meat right now, im on a kick of it. also love the cottage doubles and my protien drink. 3. for my ups it has to be putting on a pair of my biggest pants and watching them slide right back down my legs haha, not even a belt could help those size 28s. also fitting into a size 18 comfortably! umm also seeing my blood sugars never go over 90, haha. and exercising and liking it! wiiiiiierd. for my downs being tired latley which i found out is becuase i am not anemic so hopefully the iron will help! umm also just emotional stuff, this is hard sometimes, i get scared i can eat too much, or i wont loose anymore, or just those things. 4. i am so ready to just be at goal, i know i dont want to rush things.. but i am 18 and just want to be an 18 year old for once in my life, put on cute clothes, go out and dance the night away without any comments or stares or without being the one girl that no guy dances with, im determined to be a hottie haha! and to get the guy. good luck everyone!

1. What are your stats? Pre-op/Current/Goal Before the pre-op diet, I was 387. Day of surgery I was 358. Today I am 300.5 and wanting that last pound so I can be under 300!! My goal is anything below 200 but specifically I have decided to set my goal at 180. 2. What is your favorite food(s) now? Crab legs!! I love crab legs, and it soooooo cool to be able to order that, get full, and bring home enough to get full again when before I would shy away from crab legs because it wouldn't be enough to fill me up. 3. Any ups and downs you would like to share? Having no boobs is starting to bother me a bit. I did get a smaller cup size (an A cup, oh my...) the other day, and I don't feel so bad about it. It was upsetting me that the cups on my bras were too big. Otherwise, I am doing well on this journey! 4. Anything else you would like to share.... I put before and after (3 months post op) photos on my webpage the other day if anyone wants to take a look. I've been seeing and feeling the difference every day, but it is extra cool to look at the photos side by side. They're at http://members.aol.com/mrsseeoh/public_html/wlsphotos.html

1. What are your stats? 262/210/160 2. What is your favorite food(s) now? this isn't a food, but i love WATER sooo much more now! I crave it! But as for foods, I still like shrimp like I use to 3. Any ups and downs you would like to share? Plateaus for 3 weeks at a time, and after they ended, I would drop 5-6lbs in just a few days time! 4. Anything else you would like to share.... I can no longer eat chicken. I don't dump, but chicken makes me feel like I am eating rotten meat or something. I can eat anything else though. ONLY 50lbs to goal! I love this tool! Have a great day!
