Topic: RE: Monday Morning Weigh Ins
I am dealing with the head hunger, also...and I agree...the busier I stay, the less hungry I am. I even find myself dreaming of being hungry if I go to bed with it on my mind. The good news is that at least today we have the ability to control what and how much we eat...so, even when head hunger wins, it's not the end of the world or our progress!

Hi Katy!! Thanks I will be taking another soon. This is shortly after the perm it has calmed down some now and I have cut it again....lol. A BL is a Breast Lift. Going to hoist the girls back up to were they belong. They are pretty much hanging down to my belly button. They look great though when I raise my arm way up to the sky...lol. That's how I know I don't really need augmentation. Plus the doc is going to take some of that loose skin that hangs over the side of the bra at the arm pit and move it forward for volume. Bonus sitch... a twofer in my opinion
yippppeeee!!!!

Kimmy,
You aren't done yet if you don't want to be! I am not done yet either. I asked my doc this very question not long ago. He tells me that I can lose up until the 2 year mark and then it seems to be much much harder. Right now that we are past the 1 year mark, we have to work at it.
I know I have struggled with being comfortable. I weigh less and it feels good. I don't stand out in the crowd anymore and I am comfortable in seats and comfortable in general. The bad thing is that can lead to complacency. I still need to lose 53 more pounds. In order to do that, I am going to have to work at it and use the tool that the surgery has given me.
I agree with the others on the 5 day pouch test. Are you attending a support group? Are you exercising? Stop snacking. Drink your water and eat your protein. You can do this! We can do this!
Hugs,
Katy

Great job Steph!
Here are my stats:
HW 367
SW 357
CW 213...down 2 pounds
I have dropped another size on my upper body. I weigh 10 pounds more than when I got married 21 years ago, but I am now 4 sizes smaller below the waist and 5 sizes smaller above the waist. I know muscle takes up less room but, how is that possible? I am also puzzled at how I can weigh over 200 pounds and still be able to wear a Walmart 12/14. I guess the exercise works, but I would still like to see the scale move more. I am trying to be as conscientious as I can with what I eat but boy is it a struggle. But I do know that it is head hunger because I want junk and since it isn't in the house, I don't want anything else. And if I am busy, I forget about the hunger. It is only when I am restless or dealing with something that I don't want to be dealing with that I think I am dying of hunger.
Hugs,
Katy

I love the new pic Anna!
On your plastics, I know LBL is lower body lift, but what is a BL and what does that entail?

Thanks Suz!! Sorry you are not feeling so well! Hope you get to feeling much better soon. I have not really developed a bad cough but I can imagine it not being as productive now when compared to before surgery...I cant even vomit....how terrible is that...I get sick from something and feel like getting rid of it will make me feel better..I am so out of luck...oh will....I guess I dont have to ever worry about being bulemic! lol Anerexic either for that matter...my appetite will keep me from that extreme.

I would say for me it took at least a week probably more like two. But I think I had a lot of swelling, which of course equals pain. Talk to Belle, she had a LBL and was back to work the next week. I am not sure what's the norm though. I felt like crap for a good week though. Have you been on the PS board?
I work, little 5 yr old twin munsters and a 11 yr old girl. lol!
