Topic: RE: Soon we will be 1.5 yrs out. How is everyone????

Hey Everyone! I am doing great! I have lost 168 lbs and still trying to lose. My heaviest was 311 lbs and I now weigh 143 lbs. I am hoping to be smaller when I get all my skin removed. I need to get the ball rolling with plastics. I'm just very nervous about the recovery AND the bill. $$$! How was everyones plastic surgery experience?

2013:  20 Funny New Year's Resolutions

When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year.  Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!

1.  I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!

2.  I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!

3.  I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.

4.  I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day.  Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.

5.  I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

All my best,

My highest weight in July 2010 was 420 lbs. When I had surgery 11 months later, my surgery weight was 335. Right now, I am 188 (finally got back down to my pre-plastic surgery weight after 3 weeks). I havent noticed any weight loss from all my procedures but I am still pretty swollen, so I am expecting to settle somewhere around 180. That is my tentative goal. My "I'm going to try" goal is going to be 170, and my dream goal is 165. 

I have never been super focused on a "number goal" - my only two main goals were to run a 1/2 marathon and have a flat stomach. I have accomplished both of those so I am more or less happy where I am  but for the sake of being obssessed on this WL journey, I feel like I need to get to a normal BMI (174 lbs). 

Hope your surgery goes well!

Im in the same boat - just finished with all my PS. The last 18 months have been amazing. I have accomplished so many things, including my huge dream of running a 1/2 marathon as well as a whole bunch of other athletic accomplishments.  I never really reached my goal weight, but im sure by the time im done recovering from all this PS, I'll be pretty darn close, if I dont go under a little bit.

I am doing awesome.  Started out at 328 and I am not 166.  Just had LBL and a BL and will be having arms and lipo done this Tues 12/11.  So  so happy with results of RNY and PS.  Like y'all, I have my life back and feel GREAT.  It is so impressive how well everyone is doing,  This surgery is a MIRACLE and I am blessed to have my team to support me....my RNY dr and my PS.  The 3 of us did this :-)  Would love to hear how everyone is doing.  Y'all are so inspiring.
