I spoke with the DR about that yesterday. She said that we hit platues after fast weightloss to allow our body shape to catch up with the loss. Measure your body weekly and see where the inches are coming off. 219 was mine for 3 weeks but I lost so many inches it was crazy. Also muscle wieghs more so as you tone your weight might become stagnant. Oh and he said that our goals and our bodies goals are different! No that made me plum mad. He told me that as I may want to be 120 my body may say no.. 140 is where we are staying!! But I do say that 140 is sooo much better then 259!!! Amen....

Good luck to you! It will be so worth it. Try not to get your hopes overly extended until you know exactly what is required to get insurance to cover it. Then, once you know, just power through each of the requirements one by one and it WILL happen. You'll find yourself where I was last week, saying "Wow! The last 6 months have gone by so FAST and I can't believe surgery is really this week!"

I can understand this. A few years ago, I was in an education class at my college and we were discussing the "obesity epidemic". I felt so uncomfortable as if flashing lights were going off all around me. It's as if obesity is the acceptable public issue to attack and there are no holds barred when the discussion occurs. Yes, it is an important issue, but it's not black and white. It is more complex than people who don't have a weight problem think.

You and me both with the readings! Did you also get theWLS Cookbook for Dummies?
Really loved that one! Will check out Skinny Jeans too. Thanks.
All the best!
