3 more pounds and...

I will have lost half of the preop me! I started at 240, am now down to 123...wow...it's hard to realize! 

Wow Char, you will lose a few more with PS.  Try to maintain enough to be healthy for recovery after surgery.   Looking forward to seeing you pics from after surgery.  Have a great weekend.  Hugs

kathy, I am trying...I just found a new protein shake with a bit more calories in it...but wow...this maintaining is harder for me than the losing weight part! LOL  but seriously...it is hard, I know how to lose weight now, but to try to stay one weight...finding it difficult...you have a great weekend too! 

Just wishing you all the best.  You will succeed.  Hugs

hey lady.. you give new meaning to being "half the woman you were". On the maintaining, when your weight gets down, especially below goal, it is time to up your calories just a bit, and work in a "bit" more FRIENDLY carbs. Friendly carbs meaning not sugars, but fruits veggies whole grains... It is also important for you to take extra protein starting at least 15 days before your plastic surgery. This helps ensure healthy healing and recovery. Also after surgery eat several small meals or get in 2 or 3 extra supplements. Dr. S. says that during the early recovery period our bodies burn about 4000 calories a day just on the healing!

I am doing the extre protein now but patrece,..I just posted a thread asking for some help...could you read it and advise me if you can? thanks dear!

Will go find your post and do what I can..
