Lunch-Small salad 2oz chicken, feta, and 3 bean salad, low calorie dressing and a small fruit or SF pudding. dinner 3-4 oz Protein, 1/4 carb (potatoe or WW noodles) whatever my DH is having and small salad or portion of veggies). My afternoon break at work I have a protein and carb (string cheese/celery or cheese and 8 ww wheat thins.

Candle_ Great Job!!! Way to keep up the good fight ;D

Hi- I'm a fan of Dr. Ortiz and the OCC. My DH and I felt total comfort with the experience and I'm sure you will too. I've had two fills at the OCC and I live in Washington State so it's an expense to get to the clinic but I think it's well work it. Good Luck ;D

FOOFY- I had long leg, no butt and a muffin top. Two weeks ago had extended tummy tuck, butt lift and fat lipo from my back added to my butt. I also had a breast lift with small implants. I feel great and for the first time in 20 years I have a flat belly!! Even when you lose all your weight sometimes you still not fit your skin any more. Good Luck

Hey- I agree with the other you look great. If your unsure if you could/should lose more weight you might have your body fat tested. Good way to see what's under the skin. Create a great day!

Count Down!! Reading all the other stories is getting me very excited and scared! I leave Feb 13 and sugery is Feb 14, TT & Breast Lift and Implants. I sent the second half of my doctors fees, so it's really going to happen :tongue: Wish me luck, I'll post pictures if I can firgure it out! Connie

Hi all you fourty-somethings, I'm 46 year old Connie from Washington State, I'm coming to fun part of WLS. I'm scheduled for a TT and Breast work on February 14, 2008. The best Valentines ever!! My end goal weight now is 160; when I had WLS I thought my goal weight was 150, but I think that's a little light for me, I'm 5'9 and larger bone structure. Have any of you changed the end goal weight? Create a great day!! Connie

Thanks for the post!! My DH and I fly in on Feb 13, surgery on Feb 14, fly home later afternoon on Feb 19th. Assuming all goes as planned. I'll keep my fingers crossed for good luck for all of us! Connie

February and March are going to be busy for us girls. I'm having extended tummy tuck and breast lift and implants on February 14 at the Cosmed Clinic in TJ, MX. I'm excited and scared. I look forward to reading everyone journey. Connie
