Topic: I'm NORMAL
Hi;
I have finally seen the NORMAL title on the BMI chart. Of course this is according to my home scales and not the doc's which disagree a few pounds. Now, don't everyone compare their weight loss with mine as we are all different. All I can say is DO NOT get discouraged. Easier said than done; I know; but we are all there for those still working to reach their goal weight.
hugs to all.

Topic: RE: My bosom is troubled....
Carolyn, I hear ya! My 89 yr old grandmother has better breasts than I do. When I lay down I have nothing and I mean nothing. I was a C cup and now I have trouble filling a B cup. I have to fold them in. I went to a bra store yesterday and tried on dozens of bras with no success. This is what I ended up doing. I am using a bra that has a formed cup and then I bought those "gel falseys" and it seems to work. At least I'll save money on tissues since I was using so many. Also, wear your bra tight. When I was measured they said I was a 38, but I am wearing a 36 and it seems to help keep the girls up. Good luck on your quest. I think only surgery will help us! Note: we are surgery buddies.

Topic: RE: Food we are not supposed to eat...............
head hunger is a killer! I want to eat things that will make me dump so badly (I cried oer my desire for a marshmellow one day) but my dumping is so bad that I cannot eat fats or more than small amounts of sugars (I can literally faint dead away) Remembering the pain sometimes helps
I always have protein bars and/or string cheese in my purse and keep a canned protein shake in my car in case I need to eat and there is nothing I can tolerate available.

Hi Carolyn,
I saw an ad for The Curvation Collection, www.curvation.com. It should be avaliable at K Mart and Wal-Mart. It looks like something you might be interested in and could help. Good Luck

Thanks for the suggestions, ladies--we don't have a specialty shop in the Knoxville area but I will try Lane Bryants and Victoria Secrets!
Topic: RE: plateau & Hunger
I'm going through the same thing. Since I got my appetite back, I've been snacking. I have lost anything in what seems like forever. I haven't gained any weight thank the Lord. I think it may be due to lack of exercise. I joined the Y today and plan to start working out everyday. That should get me going again. I only need to loose 28 more pounds. Good luck!

The BEST BEST bras i nthe world are made by Victoria's Secret. They have done wonders for me since I have lost 18 inches from my bosom since surgery. My husband loves what they do for me too *wink*! Somuch so that he told me to go and buy more! They come in all kinds of styles, wire, no underwire, air pockets to lift, etc. If you don't live near one, look online. You will not be sorry!

Have not suggestions for a store but you may want to look around for an old fashion shop that custom fits bra's and corsettes (sp?). It may be a bit pricey but I also beleive that a good bra is something worth paying for.
Good Luck!!!
