I haven't been on here lately, but I am happy to say that after a 2 week stall the scale is finally moving again and that feels good! I started working out last week and I have been getting my protein in daily as well as making sure I eat my 5 small meals a day. My water intake is still not all the way up to 64oz a day, but all things considered I am doing REALLY well. There was a 2.5 week period around week 4 post-op that I just couldn't make myself eat or drink anything and everything made me feel sick and grossed out, so after a visit to the doctor it turned out I had a severe UTI, and once I started my antibiotics the nausea went away and I was able to eat without feeling gross! So happy to say it DOES get better ya'll! You just have to hang in there and be sure to keep in touch with your doctor if you have any issues. I am almost 2 months out and I am so happy with my progress and how things have started to become my new "normal". Be blessed today!

Gonna put this little PSA here for your benefit.....while it can provide near immediate support and restoration of function.....duct tape should not ever...ever, be used as a bandage/wrap for a sore titty. Removing that stuff was like a redneck waxing. Long story....but ouch. Damn.

Day 3 of my liquid diet... day 2 of my headache. Hopefully just the lack of sugar right??

Has anyone been nervous about what their body will look like after... like maybe my butt isn't so bad now, what if I lose all the good things about my shape/body/me!? Am I just overthinking!?
-

Right! @Candygyrl I think I have been referred to as "thick" which I am fine with... I too am hopeful if I lose a lot, which I want to... that I'll be able to spend or save to get breast implants/modifications, I have booty now too, I would be ok with losing a bit of that! lol! Stomach, hips and thighs, they can all go too!

Felling excited! I got an email from my plastic surgeon today. They took before and after pics of my Brachioplasty. After she and her assistant took a look at them they were so thrilled with the results that they want to use them on their website, in their office and in any presentations she does. I knew they looked great but I am thrilled she is feeling great about them. Yesterday I saw my dermotologist in MN and he wanted to see them as he used to do plastic surgery as well. He was blown away by how great they look and he was especially excited about my scars and how perfect they look. Then I found out they are going to give me a free ultrasonic facial and Botox session just for booking my surgery with them. It was a good day for me!

Still working the steps/process... 1 coaching call done, 4 more to go! Back to the psych doc on Thursday and meet with the surgeon & dietician on the 22nd! Praying everything goes smoothly and I will be approved & scheduled quickly!

Finally hit 150! Pounds lost I mean. I'll probably never hit 150 for real. And I'm okay with that! =D
