    So summery and breezy! Have fun!
  2. I eat pretty much all fruits, and pretty often. When I got to maintenance, that's where I elected to increase my calories ?

    I can actually zip past the waist, but not the ribcage. I wonder if all my giant babies stretched it out! It's surely not the size of the boobs in the way!

    I'm so bummed! I'm still several inches from being able to zip my wedding dress and I was 10# heavier then! Scales don't do vanity sizing, do they?

    @MIZ60 Hugs! You need to hear this right now:
  6. Fat cells store estrogen which gets released as you burn the fat. Especially during the early months of very high weight loss, you can experience lots of hormonally-driven issues: hot flashes, mood swings, irregular periods, the works. It will even out as time passes.
  7. Wishing all of you successful surgeries and easy recoveries!
  8. Best wishes for a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery! This is a very supportive site. Let us know how you're doing! My stats are similar to yours except that I was 58 when I had the surgery. I'm just shy of 5'7", started at 272 in Feb 2018, have been maintaining in the 140s since April of this year.

    Super flattering! I'd wear it every day!
  10. Yes! Yes! Yes!
  11. @Matt Z You look great! Sorry about your difficulties. Sending good vibes your way.
