My Plastic Surgery Thread
Checking in .... headed east right now. Surgery is tomorrow! ? I think I'm all prepared. I had a bunch of stuff shipped to the hotel. Going to go grocery shopping when we arrive. Tried to get caught up on work as much as possible, as I'm not sure how functional I will be the first few days. In other news. I mentioned that my mom and I are both squeamish about blood, guts and gore. She found a skilled nursing service we can use if needed. The drain clearing and even more so the blood thinner injections are intimidating for us. So it will be nice to have a fall back option. But I want it to be a last resort because it's not cheap! Everyone keeps asking me if I'm nervous. I'm not nervous at all. I'm anxious and afraid of the pain. I am worried about how long it will take me to recover and work and travel again. I have a small amount of anxiety about my results (just from reading tons and seeing some bad results!). But that's about it. My mom and bf are FAR more nervous than I am!

The Maintenance Thread
Just checking in. I'm about to start the next part of my WLS process .... plastics! I'm having a lower body lift & breast augmentation .... tomorrow! ? So I guess I'll join in the Monday fast. ? I'm curious on how this will affect my weight. I'm heading into this surgery right in my 125-130 window (126.4 yesterday). My surgeon estimated 4 lbs or so of skin/fat removal, plus 2 lbs for the implants. So net net, I might be less 2 lbs after surgery. But then there is swelling. I'm sure my appetite will be suppressed at least early on in the process due to pain and nausea. But on the flip side I'll be less active during my recovery. So, yeah, we'll see!

I don't see much help needed. I love the red pants. Only thing is the top looks a bit stretched across the girls. Not a bad problem to have ?

Feeling winded
I started feeling winded/exhausted a few weeks post op. B12 injections, nasal spray or sublinguals helped tremendously

Funny, you guys are the only ones who get to see all my multi purchases (or is it clothes hoarding?? ?) Since I live alone and travel for work, no one sees me on the daily ? I have the sweater in 6 colors (two I haven't worn this season, purple and burgundy, posted the other 4), the cord leggings in 3 colors (I've posted pics in all 3, and contemplating buying a 4th color) and the shoes in two colors (also posted pics in each of them, and want them in ALL the colors). Typing that out I realize I might have a problem. Don't ask me how many Macy's cashmere sweaters I own

I agree, you could do better than these khaki's, they cling in the wrong places. Don't have any khaki suggestions though. Don't wear them because they require ironing ?

Even without seeing them, I can guarantee they are too big. I wear a 6 almost across the board in ON pants I agree that black jeans and red jacket outfit is very flattering!
