I would go by the scale you use everyday at home...and stop worrying about that scale cuz you look tiny as heck! Lol

Medically needed bad rash & such my ins cover but remember I started at 211 pounds. My skin is not to that point that I'm going to develop a rash to qualify for my ins to pay for plastic surgery. I have saggy hanging skin but its to my eyes looks horrible everyone else I show says my arms look fine. In my eyes it's not fine that's why I'm getting it fix only so when summer comes I can show my arms instead of hiding them. I want to wear real shirts not Capri all my life. Bikini not one peace bathing suit. Lingerie with my perky boobs. Tight jeans with added curves. I want to feel & look sexy so I'm paying for what I want.

I wanna take a nice shower dry up put on my lingerie having my new perky boobs flat tummy nice round butt nice arms& look good all over. I'm planning on dealing with this acne issue & do bleach whitening hair extension lip lining. It's not over I have a lot of work to do with out ruining the summer for my kids. Oh about 2 spider vein removable.

Whoa that's a lot! Lol but I'm in the same boat...I want my arms done ASAP then boobs, tummy, thighs, my butt , acid peel for my acne scars, and fix my upper eyelids. I've got a lot of saving up to do!

I'm paying 5' date='500 out of pocket. My ins only covers WLS not plastic surgery <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

My insurance pays for certain plastics but you have to have a need for it.

Of course I will keep you inform. I wasn't afraid when having 3 csections or WLS but now I'm a little nervous to have my D cup back lmbo and most likely it will be the easiest fastest surgery.

Is your insurance paying or it's out of pocket? My insurance won't pay for my boobs...

Cold, warm, hot....I'm so confused! Lol I heard that cold helps burn calories bcuz your body has to use energy to warm it but I have also heard that hot fluids help aide in digestion and flushing out fat... I guess it's trial and error time. Lol

Yes cause you don't want to cool your body down with the cold.

Ahhh....ok. Thanks

That's great news mami!!! I'm dying to get a boob job and have my arms done!!! Let us know your progress.

It works' date=' but it isn't easy... .

I heard that!!! I'm struggling just thinking about it! Lol

I didn't call the surgeon since it was after office hours and I didn't feel it was a true emergency. I did call a friend who had RNY in November and she said I drank my Protein shake too fast and it was from that. She told me to walk walk walk!' Not to eat or drink until it was gone. It finally went away around 8:30. But I haven't had anything to eat or drink since. Figured I would wait till the morning and see if it happens again.. If it does I will call the surgeon.

I'm glad it went away... Hope it stays away!

Ok so around 4pm i started drinking an 8 oz. protien and PB2 shake. i only had about 2 oz. left @ about 4:40 give or take when all the sudden i felt like something was stuck in the bottom of my throat. it hurts to swallow and hurts all the way to in between my boobs. It hurts like hell. I tried drinking warm Water to see if that helped but only made it worse. Here it is 6pm and it still feels the same. Has anyone else experienced this or know what is causing it? Im sared and in pain : (

I agree with Nel... Could be a spasm. I would get them all the time when I had my sleeve done. I would also get them in my stomach. Call your doc. If its a spasm there are meds that could help.

Yes! I can help . I was stuck at that point for 2 months. It took 3 days going back to mostly liquids - Protein shakes' date=' Soup etc and exercising 2x day for about 1 week. You body needs a jump start. . If that doesn't work you also try to eliminate all carbs and sugar for a week which will also jump start your weight loss.

Thanks!! Doctor gave me similar advice... I'm going to give it a try!!

Well doc didn't yell at me... He was pleased that I didn't gain and suggested I go back to shakes and build up to solids again and try different forms of work outs. He thinks that my body is just comfortable at this weight and if I want to start losing again I need to change up my routine. For example instead of just walking I should try jogging or at least carry a heavy backpack when I go for my walks.

8 ounces of room temperature Water and a half of lemon squeezed help burn calories

Does the temp really make a diff? Cuz I make this except that I throw in the lemon after I squeeze it and put it in the fridge overnight so it can really soak in the lemon flavor. I drink it cold and I notice nothing.

I'm at the Dr.'s office and I am shaking in my rainboots!! Lol I've been trying to lose the last 20-25 pounds but it just won't budge....Doc is gonna yell at me for sure!!! Anyone else having trouble with the last lil bit? Anyone overcome that hurdle??! HELP!!!

???? Thanks everyone!

What are slim pressions and what do u mean by plastics?

Slimpressions are a brand on compression garments. They have one that is meant to compress your arms back and tummy. It looks like a tshirt with sleeves to the elbow and the chest scooped out. They work really well! I don't know how much they are now but when I got mine it was $45 very well spent!

And I meant plastic surgery...brachioplasy.

I'm still at 180 but inches are coming off!

I'm curious as well...I'm having a BIG issue with my arms...for now I just wear slim pressions until I can save up for plastics

I started at a size 20 sometimes 22 and now I wear size 12 sometimes 10...

I'm always freezing too...dr told me I was severely anemic....taking more Iron should help...lets see!

That's great!

OMG! Look how thin you have become! Beautiful!

Big change! Way to go!

Congrats girlie!!! It feels great doesn't it? You will be 150 in no time!

Those things are gross!!! And they don't have the Protein that we need.... They say 42g but we don't absorb all of because its collagen. My nut gave me one called yes whey. It has 23g of the right protein. It costs the same and tastes just as nasty but if your going to take it anyway might as well take the right one.
