  1. I can't believe it's been so long since my sleeve was done and then my tuck. I completely feel like a different person. I still have to have my tuck scar revised, but it's not that much of a priority. Nobody that shouldn't see it sees it. I'm still maintaining between 130-135. It is a good weight, I think. Anything under 130 I look like I'm starving to death. Lol I still can only eat tiny, tiny meals. So when I end up on the lower end of my chosen weight, I try to force myself to eat more often or I will eat something with lots of calories. This was the best decision I've made for myself. Good luck to everyone and healthy eating and weight loss

    Hi there, I saw that your surgeon was Dr. Sebesta, I am booked with him on Feb 7th and was just wondering how you are doing and if you were happy with your outcome. I get a good vibe from him but haven't met anyone that has seen him also.
  3. Had my tummy tuck on September 19th. Whew! It was rough, but I'm better now. I had some ugly complications. The ones we are warned about, so I wasn't totally freaked out. I just didn't want them to happen or feel the pain. My stomach looks AWESOME, perfectly flat. My scars are not so pretty. There is one area I'd like to see if it's possible to have revised. I go in on Monday. Cross your fingers. My weight floats between 128 and 132. I'm not sure how much my skin weighed, I didn't have a ton. I will ask tomorrow. I'm happy!
  4. I am now trying to maintain my weight ant size. My original goal was 130lbs. I readjusted to 140 per doctor's advise. I still lost another 5. If I can stay at this size until July, I can schedule my tummy tuck. I don't have a lot of extra skin, but I have enough that I want to get rid of it.. I wear a 4-6 now from 16-18. I feel good and would do it all again.. My husband has been overly supportive, but reminds me constantly not to get too small. What a journey. It's never over, but it has been a nice ride
  5. Bought a pair of Levi's yesterday, size 10!!! I got so many compliments when I wore the out. My 12s were falling off. I love saying that. This surgery is the best thing EVER!!!

Juice

by KarenMc on 07-18-2011 at 09:13 PM
Today I made some fresh juice out of celery, carrots, apples, oranges, half a lemon, and a quarter of a small beet. Delicious and I got in a lot of vitamins. Still hard to finish a glass...I'm still working on it. It sure tastes better than the store bought stuff (i'm sick of.)
