I reread this post, and it sounds more like a dear diary. Have to laugh at myself, but I will at least try and clean up the grammar a bit.
So for Group on Tuesday we had a guest speaker who came and talked about cosmetic surgery. The room was full of heavy people mostly those still on the optifast part, but there were a few others as well. But as we were sitting there those "young ones" still on Optifast were still experiencing the high of rapid weight loss, but they were asking questions about the dreaded transition. The woman sitting next to me (I think she was from the second group, since I have never seen her on Tuesday) told them that she had lost an additional 40 pounds after the weight loss. I started to calculate in my head how much I had lost and I realized it was only 40 pounds for me as well. One woman was talking how she was going on 80 pounds, and I yes I was a little jealous. They were like in week 12, eighty pounds and she has 5 more weeks on product. Blah.
So I went out a little disheartened because he said they don't like doing the surgery with BMI over 28. I thought that a BMI of 28 was normal, but come to find a BMI between 25 - 29.9 is considered overweight (vs ideal or obese) so that is a big phew.
Then came the bad part - they don't like doing it with people who are genetically predisposed towards keloids, because the scar is ugly to begin with and those with Keloids it would be too ugly? Hmm ugly droopy skin or an ugly scar - let me think about that for a while.
So TH says I write too much and to make the blogs shorter, I will work on that.
