So, here is an updated pic taken yesterday.
I'm just shy of 11 months out, and sitting at 156 (as of yesterday) I'm losing about 1 lb /week most weeks, sometimes 2 and sometimes none.
I'm very happy with my progress and now I'm starting to research plastics for when I become stable. Ideally, I'd like to lose about another 10 lbs pre-plastics, but I'm getting a lot of people who keep telling me to stop now. What do you guys think? Be honest!

angela,

   I think you look great.  I don't see why you think you need to go 10 more.  I guess everyone is differant.  You have to go with what make you feel good.  I can only hope when I am 11 month I look as good.

I think you look absolutely fabulous just the way you are!  What an awesome job you've done in such a short amount of time!

Don't forget that you'll lose *how many pounds* when you do go for plastics.  Just keep that in mind too.

Hey Beautiful Angela!

Wow! Wow! Wow!  Sudden Scream You look amazing! You ARE amazing!

I think the advice you've gotten is perfect! I agree 100%! It all depends on you and how YOU feel! And definitely remember about the plastics and the weightloss that will come with that. Listen to your heart, your mind AND especially what your NUT and surgeon says.

You can always go for your PS consult and get his/her suggestion too. You don't have to be level yet, just to get their 'take' on what you should do next.

This month's OH Magazine has a lot of info on PS. I'll try to remember to bring it with me on the 18th.

I love and adore you!
