gain goal regain How was your 5:2 day today?

[CowgirlJane 14,259]

My appetite has been through the roof for the last few weeks. It finally showed up on the scale - I bounced up to 145 this morning.

[CowgirlJane 14,259]

ok... I need help. I get a lot of PMs but this one has me stumped. I get that she is talking about plastics, but maybe it is the typos or whatever, I don't actually understand the message. It feels strange to ignore it, but I don't really know if there is a question or something buried in here....something about a Hamblett and a muffin top?

• Same problem… I'm still very tiny a size 2 but my gosh I have extra skin like crazy anything happens to me when I do the same exercises as you. I'm going to little bored with the tight pants but when I Hamblett did you write again a muffin top. But I want surgery not for many reasons( okay, have to true) I want the surgery for hygiene reasons. Maybe one day will pay for it and I'm going to be pissed off that I didn't wait but it is what it is if you want something bad enough you need to go for. Just like our surgery to find a way to pay for it

Maybe English isn't this person's first language? The Hamblett is really confusing, I have never heard that "word" before... I would ignore it.

Steven is your drug of choice Sheryl, if you can be a functional addict then, so be it.

Sorry I have been sort of MIA. My daughter in law and grand daughter are here and the house has been so hectic.

Sheryl, that pm is weird. I would not even answer it . How can you answer something like that? It does sound to me like English is not her first language.

Are you going to tell Tino that you only want to be friends, or cut things off completely with him?

I really want to write more but I have to get to bed. I haven't been able to turn on my laptop in days but tonight I really wanted to read what's been going on in our group. I will hopefully have more time tomorrow!!

Been reading through but not posing much. Glad to hear most everyone is doing - including Sar! Um really kinda jealous, Sar! Ha! I don't need anything but a Tummy Tuck and oh, and arms not as I'm "older" I don't care. Lol. I would dearly love TT, though. Just not enough to spend the money!

 

And if I don't get back to my 5:2 I'm going to be right back where I started. Truthfully, I have completely fallen off the wagon and INTO THE DITCH! ha! Keep telling myself today I'll do better but too much keeps getting thrown at me.

 

Yeah, I know -excuses. Go for 4 yr visit next week.

 

Missing Coops and others!

Wow. He is a human being not a drug. I really find this to be quite insulting.

Maybe what she meant was like candy is my drug of choice. I know it's not good for me, but I can't seem to stay away from it.

You have mentioned before that you weren't sure if Steven is healthy for you, but yet you still desire him. That's my take on it . I am sure it wasn't meant mean spirited.

[Globetrotter 1,340]

Yup, what Denise said.

It was not ment as an insult at all. I had my "Steven" (his name WAS Steven) and really, I was so crazy about him even though he had some major flaws. He was like a drug for me... I had such a hard time finding the qualities he held anywhere else... but living with his down side was really bad for me. I finally had to develop those qualities in myself if I wanted them in my life. I decided that even though I loved him, that was not enough. I was  projecting my experience with my Steven on your Steven. They sound a little bit alike. I think I remember saying pages and pages ago that you should go for it with him. You seem to really grow and communicate so well with him. I know I could not have been happy without at least trying to make it work with him. And learning from it. I think Steven may well be a keeper with flaws. Thats what my husband is, and I think I am a big girl for going there with him and not just waiting for my fantasy to show up. Sorry, rambling...tired....

You can do it, Georgia! This is for life. We will all have our ups and downs but you can pull yourself out of the ditch, I know you can! Hugs to you my friend.

Sarah, how's it going.

[sarsar 824]

Ok time for a plastics update. Sorry, I know that's all I'm talking about lately but it is pretty much my life right now. I'm sure most of us felt that way after our WLS, it's all we could think about until life became normal again. Well, I'm looking forward to my life becoming normal again. I know this is a long recovery so I'm trying hard not to push myself too soon.

I really do feel pretty good. I can move so much easier now. I saw my dr the other day and he said that I am healing extremely well. My bruising from the Lipo, he said, looks much better than most do at this stage. He also said the same about my swelling. I feel really swollen although ppl that look at me with the binder off say it doesn't look too swollen but I feel that heavy swollen feeling in my legs and stomach mostly. It can take months before that's gone so I will continue to be patient about it. I knew all if this going into this so I was prepared!

Ok I'll share a few pics with you.

This was my belly button/tummy the night before surgery.

This is a pic of my incision today.

I had two of my drains removed at my appointment the other day. The other two will come out in 12 days! I can't wait!

I'll share more pics as my brushing gets better in my butt and back of the legs. I don't want to scare anyone with those right now.

[sarsar 824]

Sarah, how's it going.

Thanks for asking! Obviously there is a reply up above.

I forgot to mention that my husband and boys come home from camp tomorrow. It really worked out perfect to have them gone while I was at the beginning of my recovery. It was so nice not to have to worry or be concerned about them and I could totally relax and deal with myself. It's so selfish and I'm not a selfish person so it's kind of hard to even write that but it's the truth.

Now that I'm feeling better I'm ready for them to come home!

[BrownDoesAll 409]

Sar glad your doing well. Selfish? No way! I am so glad u and others made the decision to do something for yourself. We deserve it!

Cyber hughs to everyone!
