Yay!!! The last drain is out!!! It is so much easier to go to the bathroom and I have my pocket back. It is hard to believe that my surgery was less than 2 weeks ago! I feel so good. I look good too! I went to target and tried on some clothes. It is going to be hard not to buy clothes now! EVERY thing looks good! I am now a size 8! I started at a size 24 and 297 in May of last year. Now I am 164 5'8 and a size 8. Was a size 10 before my tt. He says I will be smaller still because of the swelling. I don't think I will be a 6 though.

Now that your drains are out do you still have to wear your binder?

I over did it a bit yesterday and I woke up feeling like my binder had shrunk 6 inches.

When I went for my first follow up, he took off the binder and put me in a compression garment. It is different but still uncomfortable. I am in a different compression garment now and it is more comfortable a little.

Here is my new belly button. It is not quite healed. I am 3 weeks out today. I'm doing really well. Maybe too well. I think I am overdoing it.

Ok here I go! Back to real life. I start back at work today. I have been dreading this day. I really enjoyed my time off! The only upside is that I get to show off my new figure! I still have a lot of swelling over 5 weeks out in my tummy. My breasts look fantastic though! I will be interested to see how going back to work effects me as far as the swelling and how tired I will be when I get home.

For your BA...what size were you before and after? I am getting implants and a TT next month but am unsure if I want to stay on the smaller side or go bigger.

Prior to BA I was a 36-38 b as they were pretty empty. He put in Gummy implants that were 350 and 425 cc ( my breasts were different sizes). I recently measured at a bra store as a 36 dd.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
