Plastic surgery is probably your only option. Unfortunately, your breasts are just made up of adipose tissue (fat). If you're going to lose there, you're going to lose there.

I always look at them but too scared to try them. I've only tried one protein bar a long time ago and it eas horrible! Which ones do you suggest?

Ah, that makes sense!

Lmao @ the "oo" on booty! I love that!

Marilyn was a size 16! I'm a 14/16 and I still look obese! But you know Deborah from the show Dexter? I never want to look like that! I wouldn't mind having a body like Khloe (sp?) Kardashian. Lol! In other words I still want a womanly figure and not the body of a 12 year old boy!

I'm 5'9 and naturally muscular. I wasn't told a goal weight, but roght now I'm shooting for 165. I honestly have no idea what to shoot for. I've never been normal or even overweight. Right now I'm just trying to get under 200! 6 more pounds to go!

Here's what I did- I used the elliptical. It's easy on my knees. My first goal would be 10 minutes, then I'd walk at a slow/moderate pace on the treadmill for 20 minutes. Then my next goal was 15 minutes on elliptical and 15 on treadmill. 20 minutes on elliptical/10 on treadmill Then 30 on elliptical/15 on treadmill Then eventually made it to 45 on elliptical and a 5 minute slow walk on the treadmill to cool down. Then I eventually got up the courage to do the classes. Good luck!

You can try ketchup. I couldn't handle eggs until about 4 weeks post op so be careful! Try adding a little bit of water before you cook them. Good luck!

What's a stall? I say if you haven't lost an ounce in over a month, you need to change it up. But 4 fays? A week? It's totally normal and expected not to lose everyday! Sometimes there's like 6 stall threads in one day all with the same responses lol.

Dang girl!! You're killin it! Congrats! You look fabulous!

Haaaa! Love the slippers! Y'all look so happy! Congrats, Phoenix! Glad you're doing well!

I feel you on than, Laura! I've lost 50+ pounds 4 times in my life and I'm only 29! You know what sabotaged my weightloss everytime? VACATION!!!! I was never able to get back on the wagon!

I am using it properly, thanks! Down 90 pounds in 8 months! I got the sleeve to start over like all of us did and I reseached for a year prior to being sleeved. Several resources stated you will not feel hungry because the ghrelin hormone is removed. Well, being a since I'm studying science I'm aware the pancreas also makes ghrelin and other hormones contribute to hunger. Marfar I think it was- I can eat more but really not much more. I can eat 3 oz of Protein and a few bites of veggies in one sitting. Before surgery I could eat a 6 oz salmon, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts and still be hungry! Yes you'll be able to eat more down the road but nowhere near pre surgery. A normal stomach can hold approximately 5 liters! Your sleeve will never do that. As far as being hungry. I get hungry. Real hunger. Nowhere near as hungry as I used to be, but normal hunger. When I haven't eaten in about 4-5 hours, I get hungry. I eat my 4-6 oz of food and I'm full. You will be fine but don't 100% rely on the sleeve! You know what to do! You got this!

My dad asked me the other day if I feel different. I do but I don't. I see myself smaller but not 90 pounds smaller. I have 40 pounds to goal. 6 more until I'm under 200. I'm 5'9. I've never been this small as an adult. I can't envision myself at goal at all. I can't even see me now! It's so weird. 6 more pounds and I will be considered overweight not obese. I still feel super obese even when I look at pictures of myself. I really hope I don't see myself like this when I'm at a normal weight!

Wow! She's a trooper!

Yum! Thanks!

I think even with evidence, people would continue to call her names. I hope Blindsided finds peace with this whole thing and doesn't take the harshness of this forum too seriously. I also hope Dr. Luna has learned his lesson and if able to practice again, he will not abuse his position. With that said, I'm bowing out of this conversation. Good luck to everyone!

And I agree it could have been handled differently. But, it wasn't.

I'm not saying you aren't entitled to an opinion at all. I'm saying you would never be asked to back him up in court (or anywhere for that matter) because your experience has nothing to do with everyone else's experience. Thinking he is not capable of crossing the line with his patient because he didn't with you is naive.

You have to understand your experience with him doesn't mean anything, right? I mean there are people who have been married to serial killers and had no idea they were capable of such acts. Priests molesting children ....it's shocking but anything is possible. Don't be so naive. I'm sure most of the time he's professional but he crossed the line this time. No one is calling him a monster, but his job is to care for his patients. Not sleep with them!......Right?

I don't think so. I hate hotdogs but I think I'd be able to eat that much.

Does anyone have any easy dessert recipes made with fruit? I'm not a baker so no muffins or pastries. Thanks!

Lol, Fiddle! You are nonstop! I was going to contact you to see how your wife is doing. Everything go ok?
