    Thinking of breast lift

    BlueOctoberGirl replied to krisann1031's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

    I had TT with lipo, Lift and implants. Honestly my breasts did not hurt at all. Maybe pressure pain but that was it. So worth it!

    So nervous...

    BlueOctoberGirl commented on SigmaChefSpe's blog entry in On the Path to Enlightenment

    I think most of us have been there either on a ride or airplane. I am over 2.5 years out from surgery. I can honestly say I will never forget those feelings nor do I want to. It is the drive that keeps me strong on my weight loss/maintaining journey and has taught me to have compassion for the people that are still struggling. You will be on that coaster in no time and be running off to get back in line!

    I went to Mexicali and my Doc was Dr. Bello. So very very happy with him and the care I received.

    BlueOctoberGirl replied to Islandbeauty54's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    The first month is a little rough...Just keep your eye on the prize and you will make it thru just fine! I promise it gets easier and easier. I am 2.5 years out and it is the best decision I have ever made! Stay Strong!

    I had my surgery 1/5/11...so I am 2.5 years out!

    That is so funny..I used to hate eggs..the smell even made me sick. Now I love them! Everything tastes so different to me. I have noticed the texture of food a lot more now. Like I love the taste of bananas but the texture now is hard to deal with. The sleeve is a funny thing...but AWESOME!

    Just fill up with Veggies and lean protein. Stay away from those nasty carbs. If I get to the high part of my range...143-144 I cut back on the carbs. I sip more water and go right back down. I have in my mind not to go above 145 and do not let myself get under 138. Gives me some breathing room and I feel really good here. Carbs are the devil - lol
