Topic: RE: Do you think that everyone needs support when shedding weight?
I would think that for long-term weight loss, everyone would need some sort of support: personal, educational, etc.

Topic: Do you think that everyone needs support when shedding weight?
I know we are all different but I was wondering if you think that everyone benefits from support when shedding weight?

Topic: RE: Reality Check
OMG - good thing you checked. I'm buying less and less prepared foods partly for this very reason - you just never know how they have been tinkering with their products. Thank goodness you caught this early on before real damage was done.

Sherrie, OMG - you must be soooooo soooooo sooooo HAPPY
with those results. AND doesn't it feel like a fabulous reward when you fit into a new smaller size - nothing like shopping the closet for smaller sizes.
I know even my McDougall diet stresses eating until you a satisfied - not to go around hungry. That's when you know you're not on one of those fad diets.

Topic: RE: It's a bumpy ride, hang on tight.
Hi Wendy, I'm in shock at how much you have lost - 
that's amazing. And you're a Zumba instructor - absolutely fantastic. Clearly you've had a major transformation and you're hitting that same spot that I am so I'm glad that this post has helped you to. I have to be honest, when I posted I had no idea how much the responses were going to really change my feelings completely around and be an education about the process too.
I'm impressed that you had the guts to wear a tank top and show your upper arms. Mine are really bad - looks like yours and I am so embarrassed with them even when hidden in clothes because you can't really hide them completely. But I find when I move my arms around the hanging skin part flaps around and sometimes it hurts as it hits my body. My arms and my panni are the two areas that bother me most. My breasts are lower on the list because once I have them folded into a bra they look okay, not great, but okay.
I hope you stick around and post regularly, I'd love to hear how things are going for you.

LOL Mary - oh boy, I never realized how important these details are and I guess the good plastic surgeons are very careful about the order and how they approach us. LOL "It won't work that way" okay, I've decided to go in and keep my mouth shut about the order I "want" things done - I will ask what he thinks works best for healing and success.
I also hadn't realized that all this fat and huge breast tissue while I was obese may have wrecked my posture - but I have been having problems - so I'm curious as to whether the surgeons will say anything about it. I'll post back and let you know.
I hope when I'm done I look half as good as you and Ruth.

Thanks Ruth - you're right - I was afraid of messing with my internal organs and the possible permanent complications that some people suffer after WLS. But Plastics is a good thing because it will eliminate those hang downs where you can get infections etc. so yes, you're right. Plastics is a good thing. Although I do regret that I let myself get so obese that I need to have plastics - but what is done is done. I'm just so thankful that I can afford to fix this mess I made for myself.
I'm starting to get excited about this now and also scared about the pain etc. I will definitely let you know about the consultations and before and after pictures. I have to say that I have been so thankful to be able to watch you and others going through the process and showing your pictures throughout the process so I know what to expect. - as you said Ruth, to pay it forward.
Thanks

It is funny how I still mentally struggle with exercise.....I pretty much hate it but always feel so much better on the days I do it. Wonder if I will ever get over this......

Hi!
The oatmeal pancakes were truly fabulous!
So glad you mentioned that Target has Spanx....I want a pair for under my newest pair of white pants...they are so thin I feel naked, so I want the long ones just to help me feel more modest. Modest, there's a word you don't hear often....LOL!
I didn't get in the pool yesterday but I'm sure I will tomorrow because I have lots of yard work planned and I'll be hot and sticky..
