I know the feeling Kanda! I was working out religiously pre surgery but since having the surgery, and the two weeks off for recovery, I've been less than motivated. I'm going to work out tonight, I'll let you know if I've had any success in the motivation department.

Hi Shells - This will get better, I'm sure it's just the underlying emotions of Jean Shopping and then the high of finding a swim suit. Then you have to consider actually traveling to San Diego... You have plenty on your mind to keep you on the emotional roller coaster. I'd say, just relax tonight after work and have some 'you' time. Hopefully, you'll feel better soon

@ Ready - I was actually considering Lola for my band as well Great minds think a like! Haha

I like that name, it's cute and fitting I hope something kicks it, haha otherwise coming out of surgery will be a rude awaking!

Jane, I know exactly how you feel. Being the "fat/pretty face/super nice" girl my whole life, my boobs helped me discover my femininity. I can't explain it either, only that I wouldn't feel right if I no longer had a nice rack. That is what got me the male attention when I was in the bar scene, that is what helped me realize that I have options when it comes to my love life. It is vitally important to me that I don't become flat chested (doubtful) or have saggy gross tube sock boobs, this is my real fear. I have been working out to make sure that my skin has the best opportunity to not embarrass me. Haha. Anyways, it's nice to see that other women identify themselves with their boobs like I do. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations! I've very excited for you and glad that the surgery was uneventful I can't wait to read up on your progress and I'll probably be reaching out to you since you're about two weeks ahead of me. I'm thrilled for your tomato soup tomorrow and you're right, it does sound good!

I think that is the biggest challenge Jen, defeating the Head Hunger. Well that and staying active. I'll use your blog for inspiration

Keep positive and stay busy! Make small efforts to move more

Mylynn, tell the doctor about it. Many times the doctors don't know that their office staff are falling down on the job. I agree, this is completely unacceptable and unless she wants to lose you as a patient, she needs to make sure her staff is following thru.

I'm very glad to hear about your excitement. It still seems surreal to me, but this pre op diet is definitely making it sink in LOL

Lady Sith,

I'm glad to hear that this gets easier, even if it is minutely. I had another protein shake this morning. My menu for the day will be two greek yogurts and a salad from Wendy's with a grilled chicken breast - no dressing. I know this isn't the best, most clean lunch but a girls gotta eat and I didn't have time to prep anything last night. Shame on me. I need to become better at dedicating time to planning and making my meals.

Thank you Blann I look forward to reading about your success too!

Thank you for the suggestion, thats a good way to address it. I know that people are 'concerned' about my success, which I can appreciate. However, since when does this surgery permit people to judge us?

@ Jim - please don't say that....... I hate needles too!

Sissy, I'm feeling the same way! I kind of wonder if the pre op diet will solidify this change in my mind? Are you doing a pre op diet?

Wow, Mylynn, that is a difficult situation to be in. I feel your pain. Everyone has their demons and it sounds like your friend may be coming face to face with some of hers. Yes, you're doing well in your life and making changes for the positive. Sometimes, that is really hard to watch. If you've been friends for 15 years and you still want to hold onto that, confront her and have a heart to heart. Your friendship deserves to be saved, if it can. If, after you have a candid conversation, she is still distant then she is not ready to support you the way you deserve. This is not to say that she is not your friend or that she doesn't still love you. It just means that your relationship is going to change, she may no longer be your "best friend". And that hurts. You are allowed to mourn the relationship that you lost (IF you lose it). The good news, it sounds like you have a pretty awesome support system in place with your new fiancee, in-laws and all the new friends you will make in your new town.

Chin up, you'll get thru this. We are all here for you and pray for the best outcome.

Hi Goal! I'm quite new to the site but like you am looking for support. All our our loved ones can be there for us to the best of their ability but sometimes you just need to talk to someone that is going thru the same things you are. I hope you find the support you are looking for! I am being banded in 16 days. I am just a bundle of questions and have found this site to be amazing.

Good luck!
