I think we are at the same party. Meet me at the bar.

  • I had a flatter stomach and smaller thighs BEFORE this tummy tuck, sigh.
  • My pants are tight, sigh.
  • My right boob looks bigger than my left at the moment, sigh.
  • I have resorted to stuffing my compression garment and armpits with ice packs, cuz my boobs and armpit incisions have started to ache lately, sigh.

He came with me for surgery and received all my post op instructions while I was *impaired* & he plans to follow the rules for my safety ?

Yep, the black is my bra and the nude is my arm compression garment. I sorta wish they were both MORE restrictive as I find them a little too loose for my liking. My mom tailored the arm garment for me to make the sleeves smaller, but the rest of it is still too big and results in me constantly pulling up the shoulders cuz they keep slipping off.

I think I'm going to have to revise my de-swell goal date to July as well. I was hoping to be all bikini ready by April for vacay , but thinking that's gonna happen :(

OOOOH, I’ll join!

Since surgery I have low blood pressure, so any time I bend over, do yoga, get up from a seated/lying position I get dizzy and faint. I passed out gardening.

I wanna work in my garden, dammit! And now that I’m smaller and there’s less pudge in the way, I wanna do yoga! And planks, and all the things.

*kicks rocks, carefully and from a fully upright position to avoid passing out*

All of my weight loss is coming from the upper part of my body. I am starting to resemble a girl in the early stages of developing boobs.??

Had a haircut for a big anniversary do that people will be at that I’ve not seen for years. Before my 120 lb loss. I said ‘please cut it to my shoulders’. It’s two inches above that... just below my jaw. I’m gutted. FML.

Snap re low blood pressure @AngieBear. This morning I got up & fell straight back on my bed - thank goodness not the floor! And I suffer from reoccurring vertigo virus. Two attacks in the last week. Waaaah!

And today my smoke detector started chirping. Climbed up on the ladder, wrestled the damn thing open, put in a new battery & it’s STILL CHIRPING. ?
