3 days till plastics tiiiime!



Recommended Posts

Thank everybody!! I think I've hit all the emotional stages and today I feel happy. Hopefully that can continue into tomorrow? I'm trying to get myself in the right mindset. Maybe it won't be that bad and maybe it will but I've researched enough that I shouldn't be surprised by it. It's happening so stressing about it is a waste of time. I should know by now I'm a pretty strong chick. I've made it this far and survived so I'm going to make it through this too!

@@kranky813 I will! I'm going to do the best I can while drugged up! I'm requesting right now that if I type out some crazy long weird post that we all just laugh (to ourselves) and never mention it again! I'm going to try to reframe from singing the "kitty" song from Big Bang Theory but I can't promise that. Now that I know I'm going to have a "flat kitty" it's inevitable that it will be brought up and HOPEFULLY I will not be intoxicated enough to share any pictures of such kitty. If I do we shall ignore them too!!!! LIKE.IT.NEVER.HAPPEND.

@@kranky813 Oh I guess I should have elaborated on the "breast stuff" I was originally going to get implants but after researching I (we) decided for the best results I would do a lift now and in 6 months augmentation if I feel I want them bigger....and I will because once she takes off the skin I'm not going to have much left. I can't live like that but we shall see.

@@Elode I will trade you!! I am going in for the TT and a lift and reduction. Even with the weight loss I am sitting at a DDD... Ugh the only problem is that those big beauties look directly at my toes!

Figured I need the new Tatas to go with the flat tummy and kitty :)

@@KindaFamiliar the flatter kitty was a added bonus i was not expecting.... I lost weight... Kitty lost weight... Win Win.... lol

@@kranky813 I was going to do a reduction when i had my TT, but got talked out of it. Now im happy i kept them. I have been lucky as my 34H's still point in the proper direction. lol

@@Elode Remember darling.... you are as prepared as anyone i know. You will Rock this girl.... Just remember to take it slow.... Ill send up a special prayer to the PS gods to keep your doctors hands true and steady...

Thank you all! Today is FLYING by! I got the call from the surgery center and I'm to be there at 10 am with surgery scheduled for 11:45-ish. She has me down for 275 mins. Geez! I'm ready for this to be over with!

Here's a little handy piece of advice I learned today. DO NOT under any circumstances go to Walmart the day before surgery. Had I not left at the precise moment I got to I would have ended up Losing my ENTIRE sh*t! I don't know if someone sent out a memo and informed everyone that If they'd like to see a live rendition of the exorcist with the whole head spinning and whatnots to head on over to the Walmart and get in my way.....continuously...as in non-stop. That's whole trip was a shit-show! Normally I don't get all worked up but today was NOT the day to stop instantly in front of me, block the entire isle so that you can talk to neighbor "Cathy" about her precious little unique snowflake of a child and their school projects, argue with the customer service lady for 20 minutes about how you were overcharged 3 cents per can on your 15 cans of tuna while there are 15 more people standing behind you with real world problems, then after FINALLY making it up to the counter the customer service girl decides it's time for her to take a break, whips out her "closed lane" sign and walks off. I could literally envision myself beating her to death with it. I just needed to sign a flipping paper. That's all, a paper! Soooo I went through the regular line and waited yet again. As soon as it was my turn I told the checkout girl "look lady" I'm not normally like this but if you would like me to not come out of character I would suggest you tell the manager to bring me that nifty little black book from customer service and I will sign it right here. I'm not going back through that line again so I'm just going to stand right here in your line until it's signed.....blank stares. So she did, I did, and it was over. I wasn't sure if I was going to scream or start crying. I think I was on the border of a nervous breakdown and then it hit me.....oh, surgery tomorrow. That's why I'm acting like a psycho! Once I figured that out I felt like I had to explain my whole life to "Monica" the cashier girl. Wether she wanted to hear it or not. I couldn't leave there with her thinking I was truly nuts now could I?! This stuff is stressful. Think I'll just lock myself in the house for the remainder of my time.....and breathe.....

Haha. Just another Tuesday at Wal Mart. I try to avoid that place the best I can for that reason.

I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Please don't die. I kind of like you.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
