No i work for UPMC hospital. I had a 6 month supervised diet. I.started in january 2013 and my surgery was june 2013.- My doctor appt today
Well thank you ladies!!! For some reason a light bulb went off in my head today. I WILL lose this weight and I should not be in such a rush if I want to be successful. As far as working out I love it, it is my stress reliever. I can only picture what my tummy would look like if I have these rock hard abs!!! Now only if the front of my belly tightens more....- My doctor appt today
Ok so i seen my doctor's PA today and realized somethings today. I went in upset because i havent had a fill in 3 months. I have explained that i was hungry in between meals and she still would not fill me. So today i went in with my "game face" on. I think she felt tension from the beginning but i eased up on her when i realized.......i lost 5 pounds in 4 weeks. Here i am all upset because she will not fill me i lost track of my progress. I lost...another 5 pounds. When she see's i lost of course she will not fill me. It is a loss. If i am hungry i should eat, i am allowed 2 Snacks per day. Maybe some of this hunger is still HEAD hunger. I am only 4 months post op afterall. So during the visit we chat about breast reductions and beings i have about 40 pounds to go until i will be satisfied (although i would love to get to 130) she gives me recomendations for some plastic surgeons. She then looked at my MFP logs and said "you eat like a thin person" i think i blushed!! She was very proud of my calories and Protein. She was very impressed with my exercise. I had a thought.....why would she fill me? Im doing so great in Her eyes....why dont I see that? Am I beating myself up that bad? Then to the ok dont laugh at me question i just had to ask.....i lifted up my shirt and put my hands on my sides (hips) and said what is this??? It is so hard like a tumor or something.....i have never felt this ever. She looks at me and says "honey that is all muscle" What???? I have muscle?????? In my tummy????? Maybe my boyfriend was right when i asked him and he said it was my ABS!!!! Never felt this before in my life!!!!! Exercise is paying off!!!! Ok thanks for reading Ps....dont laugh at me lol- anyone from PA and have amerihealth caritas

Good luck!!!!!!- hoping for fill #2 on friday
I have no problem with my weight loss at all. The reason i need a small fill is simply because im hungry between meals, a fill would help me stay satisfied for a little longer. It feels great to be under 200 pounds. I havent been this happy in a very long time. - One Year Mark :)
