update

well here I am 24 days post op from my plastic surgery.. I am feeling pretty good probably if I had to measure it.. 70%. I go on Thursday to get my stitches all out which will be awesome. That is also my preop day for my thigh lift. UGH. I am so dreading that surgery. I still can't believe how long it is taking me to feel 100% again. I know that is really going to make me feel bad all over again. I do know it will be worth it and I don't want to drag it out. I want to be in my best shape

ps update same as what's written in allies turn for ps

Well we made it home, round trip five and a half hours to go to the doc. I got the pain pump out and about half of the lipo stitches. I have to go back next thursday to get the drains and some more stitches removed. I am smaller and smaller every day so weird. I said that today to the doc that I feel like I am shrinking and he said you are. He said that every day I will be smaller as the fluid escapes through drains or just normal every day life. I finally had some relief with the bowels.

ps update

Good Morning! I actually slept through the night for the first time since surgery. Due to the UTI I was getting up every 20 min to a half hour (my poor hubby). He said to me yesterday as we were watching Kung Fu Panda that there are no accidents, maybe I needed to get up alot to speed up my recovery. Ok so back to the Kung Fu Panda, I do not normally watch cartoons ok I admit I never watch cartoons but the Oxycodone causes me to have terrible nightmares if I watch anything but childrens show

Post Plastic Surgery!

Well, I am home and finally on the good side of recovery. I ended up getting a uti that I swear just about killed me. I have all these compression garments on and could not pee and when I did it was a trickle and extremely painful. I started running a fever and hubby freaked. I am on meds and doing much better. I have to say the tummy and boobs feel great the most painful thing was the lipo of the thighs. I was really surprised this hurt the most. I thought that would be the least painful

tomorrow! A new me! Plastic surgery here I come!

Holy Crap, tomorrow is the day. I am so excited and nervous. I hope I have everything I need. I have been on a mission. Today I am going out Christmas shopping just in case I won't be able to or if something happens. I am buying something special for my hubby and each of my girls. I just want to be sure that no matter what they have something from me. I figure if I am prepared nothing bad will happen lol. I am happy that I will have the pain pump and hope that I won't be to much of a bur

7 days till plastic surgery~

Holy Moly, 7 days until my surgery. I can't believe it. I started to get really really nervous about the pain so I called my doc and asked about options. He had given me a perscription for 40 percocets. They told me I could get a pain pump for an extra 450. So I bought the pain pump. I feel alot better knowing I will have that as well. I threw my back out last sunday helping a blind drunk woman up some stairs, and I sprained my ankle a week before that. I feel like God is trying to build

10 days till plastic surgery!

10 days until my plastic surgery! AHHHHH I can't believe I am so close to a brand new me. I hadn't really starting worry about the pain until yesterday and now I am absoloutely freaking out. I am a big baby when it comes to pain. I just want to not be a huge burden to my family during my recovery. I am sure they will be ready to kill me by the time I can get up on my own. lol. My hubby took the 19-22 off. I have a couple of friends coming over on the 23 and 24 then my daughters will be hom

plastic surgery

tomorrow is my preop plastic surgery appt and I am so very excited. I am booked for a tummy tuck, breast lift with implants and thigh lipo on Nov. 19. I am getting a thigh lift a couple months later. :crying: Everyone keeps freaking about the money but really??? People pay so much for their vehicles and don't even blink an eye. I am worth more than any car could ever be and these surgery's will last longer than any car. I paid 18 grand for my lapband so why wouldn't I go the whole way? Wh

It has been one year on June 20, 2009! I can't believe how fast this year went! I have lost 139 pounds and still losing! I went and met with a plastic surgeon (Dr. Goldstein) on June 19 and I am booked to have a tummy tuck, liposuction and a breast lift with implants on December 18,2009! I am soo excited. I decided to wait until then #1 because of vacation time and it being slow at work then. #2 My family will be home to help take care of me . It also gives me 6 months to lose as much mor

10 months

So here I am having lost 128 pounds, joined a softball team.. feeling terrific.. and it hasn't even been a year! I keep thinking how amazing it is. I am still losing at a pretty good clip. I am not thinking about food at all. I eat when I am hungry and have so much energy it is amazing. Last year at this time I would have been thinking about what was I going to have for lunch what was I going to make for dinner etc. Now I don't even have thoughts like that. It is amazing. I also have to s

losing again

so I heard of this thing called resting metabolism and went online and found that I should be eating around 1700 calories!! I was like WHAT!! So I thought I would try increasing my caloric intake and seeing what happened and guess what I have now lost 107 pounds. I guess my body thought it was starving and wouldn't let me lose. The crazy thing is I added a couple of 100 calorie pack M&M's I have a major sweet tooth so was very happy! WOOHOOO..:w00t:

6 months

Well on December 20, 2008 I hit 6 months of being banded. I have to say this was the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I have lost 94 pounds as of today January 22,2008 and unfortunately I have been stuck here since the 17th of December. The holidays through me for a loop. My works hours increased and my salary decreased :tt1: I found myself slipping into my old "fat" habits. I am in desperate need of a fill which I am scheduled for the 26th and it can't come soon enough. I am
