Maybe your working out too much. What I would do. . .is weight watchers online. This helped me alot. I was able to get the appropriate calories in with all the exercise that I do. I'm not losing 2 lbs a week, but I am loosing. This did not start happening until I was eating the right amount of food with all the exercise I was doing.....try it and let me know how you do....It works!!

I had my surgery done in Mexico by Dr Kuri. . .and I wouldn't change a thing! All the doctor's and staff were great! The only thing I do suggest when going to Mexico. . .have someone stay in the room with you. That is one thing I did not do and with the language barrier it was a little difficult. By the hospital I went to was ALOT cleaner than here in the US. No worries!!!

kiresk replied to nurseamy's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
That is a huge difference. You look so good. I am going to give it a year with working out and being with a trainer twice a week. If i"m not satisfied at that time. . .I will be doing the tummy tuck and possibly boob lift. I can't wait for my year to be up. . cause I know I am going to need both at the end. . .that's just the deal my husband and I have -

What about the scaring? Does it bother you? and how about the pain after surgery. . .how would you describe it? I'm still 20 lbs away from my goal. . .but it would be nice to know what I have to look forward to. Congrats on everything. . .you look amazing! -

I agree everyone needs to ecercis. But I feel like i am in the same boat. Except the last fill I got was last week and I've lost a half a pound. I have been working out with a trainer 2 days a week and the other days I work out on my own. I do. .do cardios each of those days for about 40 minutes per day. I guess i have lost some inches. . .but I still feel like I look like a fat cow. .even after I have lost 40 lbs. My weight now is 170. I can't seem to get below and if I do it will only go down to 168. My friends say I definately look better than last year. . .but how come last years shorts still fit me the same???? Hmmmmm????

Thank you for your support. One other question. . .with the Thermage how did that work and what was the cost? Did you only do this on your chin,does it really work for other areas and how long does it last for? Would you be able to replace thermage with a tummy tuck or it doesn't work that well? -

Thank you for getting back with me. It has been discouraging. I did get a fill last week so I am hoping that will help. Have you ever heard of Lipo dissolve. . if so, what are your thoughts? -

You look amazing! I myself had the lap band done Jan. of 07. As of the past two months. . I have been working with a trainer twice a week and on my own twice a week. I'm kind of disappointed. .as of right now. . I have only lost 38 lbs. I would like to lose another 20 lbs but it seems to be very difficult. As of a month ago. .out of being desperate to be thinner. . .I started the lipo dissolve. I won't see any results until my 3rd or 4th time around. So cross your fingers. My husband and I agreed to work out for one year with a trainer and see where I am at, at that time. . If I still feel I need a tummy tuck. . we will then move forward with the process. Any encouraging words? -
Thank you all for your supportive words.
