Skin Brushing...just Started This Routine.

So, I have been worried about loose skin since before my surgery. I will admit I am a little vain when it comes to my hair/skin. I used to be thin and had a rocking body so the thought of being thin again and having my skin hang down everywhere has made me a little crazy. (I feel the same about my hair.) So, I have done my research and am going to give skin brushing a fair try. What do I have to lose??? Started this last night and it felt very strange. It did not hurt, but it was not that pleasa

Patience...wish I Had Some Of That!

18 days post op and I seriously feel like I'm going to explode. Before surgery, I felt like I was never going to lose weight and now I feel like I'm going to lose it, but I will shrivel and die before it happens. I am so excited to get down the road I can hardly stand it. I have never had much patience and can't usually wait for anything so this is making me climb the walls. I'm off work for 6 weeks (4 weeks remaining) so things are going quite slow for me bc all I can do right now is sit at hom

Surgery Tuesday, But Having Sudden Health Complications So Not Sure They Will Do It! :(

My surgery has been scheduled for this Tuesday at 7:30am for a week now and suddenly this past Monday night I had a severe allergic reaction to some of the medications I'm taking. This has been going on for a week now. I have been breaking out in hives all week. I am so afraid they are going to cancel my surgery now which can't happen. If they do, I won't be able to have it bc I have already taken time off from work and won't be able to manage that again. So frustrated.

Received My Surgery Date This Morning: Sept 4Th!

I just posted an entry last night so I'll keep this short and sweet. I am just excited to finally have a date! I was lucky that I didn't have a program to go through first so it happened in a couple of months, but it still felt like forever to me. I have been out of work for some time (in school) and do not want to start back until this surgery is behind me, but I am ready to go back so a surgery date is awesome news!   Any other September surgeries should connect so we can share info throug

This Is Really Going To Happen...

I began this journey 3 years ago and walked away because I wasn't ready. I wanted to try one more time to lose this weight without surgery. I lost 50lbs and as soon as stress returned to my life, I gained it all back plus 10lbs. It was then that I knew surgery was necessary, not because I couldn't lose weight, but because I couldn't lose it and keep it off long term. I am 30 years old, 5'2 and weigh 238lbs which is 10lbs over my highest weight ever. I grew up thin and was thin for half of my twe
