Just checking in....

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I updated.. I come on every so often and read posts, seems to be really slow...

Anyways... I am doing pretty good. I am now 1 year 8 months post op (that went by super fast!) I have lost 176 lbs since. I still have 32 lbs to lose and of course It's not moving! I haven't lost anything in the past 3 months!! it's very frustrating, BUT I know the cause.. So it's just a matter of getting back on track..

I have been in a relationship for the past 6 months or so and its going great.. but I noticed I have became "comfortable" and I havent been working hard enough on what I eat and excersise.. He trys to help me though, so thats good (he's very healthy and athletic)

One of the Doctors I work with, sent me to a surgeon friend of his to discuss plastics... I will be making the appointment soon : ) I am excited, but not sure how I will pay for it : / so we'll see what he says...

I went from wearing a size 28/32 or 4x... I now wear Med/lg or 12/14 depending on the brand.

I went from 4x scrubs to size Med with room to spare!

So everything is going pretty good overall... I just need to get back on track and lose the last 32 lbs!

I'll post pics when Im on the home computer : )

Hope everyone else is doing well ...

Hi GlendaleMom,

Its so nice to hear from you. I'm so pleased with your weight loss -- 176 pounds is AMAZING! Great job working that sleeve.

I had a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck last April, and I'm thrilled with the results. I had so much excess skin on my belly. I knew I wanted to do it, but I didn't realize how big an impact it would have on my self-image. (Pics on my profile) I am so glad I did it. I had to pay for it myself, too. But it was worth every penny.

By the way, they removed 5.5 pounds of skin in my belly. Maybe that 32 pounds is less than you think!

best wishes,

Carol

Good to hear from you! It's a little quiet around here right now because I think the annual OH Conference is going on. I'm sure it'll pick back up soon...

Congratulations on losing 176 lbs. - wow! That's amazing!!!
