I went from a 40G bra to a 34 DD. You are right about finding that size. Almost as hard as it is to find a 40G. The worst part of that, for me, is the deflated tata look. They are looking like a balloon that was blown up and deflated several times. Not cute. Any suggestions?

I totally understand how you feel. I'm at my doctors goal weight that he set for me and I still feel like, in my head, that I weight 250. Although I know its extra skin there it still feels like fat.

Dont know if a CVS is near by....but they have their sublingal B12 micro lozenges on sale BOGO. I buy the 1000 mcg. How much did your doctor recommend for you?

I took a b12 shot two weeks ago. I didnt notice any added benefits. I was just as tired .

I drink 16 oz of coffee everyday with no problems. I use Splenda and 1% milk. No probs! Sometimes I use my vanilla protein powder as creamer. Sorry it doesn't agree with you.

I havent lost much (interpret as NOTHING) in the past month. And I don't want to hear about losing inches. I need to lose fat.

Thanks for the responses. I had only had mayb 36 ounces of fluid yesterday before working out so that might have been the problem. In retrospect, I shouldnt have done the C25K twice in the same day. I just felt so good and had some extra time. Next time I will just do some light weight training. @ Lissa I didn't consider the bouncing skin. You've given me a lot to reconsider before trying it again. Thanks!!

i just completed day1 (did it twice in a row) of couch to 5k and am in pain. Not exhaustion pain. Pain in my stomach area and Slightly nauseated. I'm seven months out and have been walking a couple times a week prior to this incident. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Congrats! :biggrinjester:

I rub Vitamin E oil on it in the morning and evening. I also usually rub some Yes to Tomatos body butter on them during lunch. They are just slightly raised but I'm ok with it. The two small scars above the incision line are from the pain pump. Those are completely flat. Even if it doesnt help the scar my skin is extra soft.

I hadn't considered that. I will take extra time tonight eating and see if it gets any better. Thanks!!!!

For the last 7-10 days, everytime I eat a meal I get extremely sleepy afterwards. Last night I ate about 3 ounces of grilled chicken, cheese and salsa for dinner and fell asleep within 5 mins sitting straight up. For lunch yesterday, I ate 2 oz of chicken thigh and 2 brocolli florets and I fell asleep at my desk. It's pretty consistent now. Any ideas what might be happening? --Dazed and Sleepy

I took a bra that I wore when I was nursing. It opened in the front and was very comfy. If you are amply bosomed this will help them not sit on top of your incision.

Just wondering if anyone else finds texture in their food disgusting after all the weeks of liquids. I can not chew or swallow ground beef. I've tried Wendys chili and the ground beef just clumps together in my mouth. Even if I chew and chew it never dissipates. Same with spaghetti sauce with ground beef in it. Is this normal?

Thanks! It was an uphill fight but the policy does not say physician supervised. That's just something they like to say when they want to deny you. They even called my pcp and tried to get her to say I hadn't been compliant with Weight watchers. Crazy!
