Allie, good luck on getting a cute outfit for your celebration dinner. Congratulations on your new job and the ability to say no to your former boss. I, too, am a reformed smoker and hate to have smokers around me. I am interviewing for housekeeping help for a few months and said I absolutely would not have a smoker in my house. Their supplies smell and so do they!!! I hope your fill helps.

Hello! So I posted some new pics of my brand new bikini in my before and after album. I also got my new hair lol. I love it. Hubby thought it was neat how I could go from long to short. Our anniversary was very nice. Hubby had asked for a romantic table next to a fireplace and it was sooo romantic until a table with 4 women and 9 small children came in half way through our dinner. The kids were yelling and running around. UGH why do people bring small kids to fancy restaurants at night? If you want to teach them how to behave at restaurants go during the day for criminey christmas! Last thing we expected.. as the plates were 20 bucks or more.. why bring kids to a place like that jeez. Ok but other than that it was a lovely evening :thumbup: I am getting super frustrated by my physical limitations.. I want to do so much more than I am. My doc says no picking up anything more than 2 pounds.. No doing laundry and no unloading bottom rack of dishwasher. He also said no bending over to pick things up off of the floor. It's killing me. I want to clean clean clean! I still get really tired so easily. I hate when I get cold and I shiver the stitches pull around my nipples and ugh it's such a weird feeling. I can hardly wait to get those stitches out! I have to wait till Dec 17 for that though. It snowed here today so I was house bound :scared2: I am not "allowed" to shovel so I hung out at home today. I still haven't found an outfit for the party on saturday night. Looks like I am going to go for a black skirt and a nice top. I am hoping to be able to get out there tomorrow. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Your date sounds lovely (until the kids came) and very romantic indeed. I didn't know about all those restrictions on activity, I hired a housekeeper yesterday to start next week. Now I am extra glad I did so I won't be fretting about not being able to clean!! Your new pictures are great, congratulations on the bikini body.

EEE allie :rolleyes2: Yeah I didn't get any such restrictions either. I just had 2 weeks of being mindful of arms over the head. I have picked a few things up off the floor that were high enough to reach. Still working on putting my own pants and socks on lol.

Meowwwww nice hair and bikini!

Allie, your pictures look incredible. Your ps did a great job. I think your thighs look great now the way they are. I wish mine looked like that. I've thought about getting some Lipo to my thighs, but I'm worried about being left with hanging skin. Anyways, you have a lot to be proud of!

Hey there! Sorry I haven't been on lately, been soo busy with Christmas and ok I'll admit the truth... I have become addicted to a stupid game on Facebook (treasure madness).. lol.

I had a great time at the Christmas party! I ended up wearing a black mini skirt (not really mini but about 3 inches above the knee) a black shiny tank top and a purple sweater with rhinestone buttons, with my tall black boots and black panyhose. I think I looked pretty hot if I do say so myself lol. Not to conservative but classy and sexy. The fun thing was my daughters both work at the same place and they had their christmas party the same night. I just assumed it was at the retirement home they work at.. it has a restaurant where they both waitress. As we all were getting ready to leave we discovered our parties were at the same place! Their party was in the adjoining room to ours. They kept coming over to our party and stealing Danny and I to come dance with them at theirs lol. My youngest Jenna was pulling me around telling everyone that I was her mom. I was glowing! She was so proud to introduce me to everyone! I felt so great knowing that she was proud of me and wanted people to know I was her mom. I am sure when I was at my heaviest it must have been embaressing for both my girls. They never said that but just to see her face and how she was beaming really made this whole entire process sooo worth it! Their party had more top 40 music and our party had a more 50,60 and 70 type of music. We had so much fun! They even had a photographer taking professional pics at our party so we got a package with just Danny and me and then a family package done! They will be in at the end of the week and if I can figure out how to scan them I will post them on here.

I have been feeling great! I went shopping at the mall for three hours yesterday! I still have some swelling, by the end of every day I am up about 6-8 pounds by evening time. I go to sleep weigh and I am down every morning lol. So that tells me I am still having some swelling. I am now only wearing the garment during the day. I get my stitches out on thursday woo hoo! Thursday is also my preop appt for my thigh lift. I will be so glad when it is all done and I am feeling great again. I am really nervous this time, more than I was last time. I just know it's going to be pretty painful. UGH.

Today my plan is to stay in my pajamas, make some eggnog cheesecake for Danny's work.. make some pumpkin, chocolate chip walnut bread for some friends and clean my house. I also might get some more wrapping done. I LOVE CHRISTMAS TIME! Have a glorious day everyone!!!!! xoxo

Glad you had a blast at the party. Can't wait to see the family pics. I'm sure your girls are proud of you.

Your making me hungry for cheesecake and egg nog. This time of year is so exciting.

Wow, I can't belive by end of day you are up 6 lbs or more with swelling. That is still a lot. I've only been up 2 lbs.

Your thigh lift will be here in no time. How far down will they cut (to knee?)

.. gahh to the knee? I would never get it done if that were the case. I didn't wan't scars where people could see them while I was wearing a bikini. The thigh lift scar is in the crease of my groin around to just under buttock. All the scar is in crease where you wont see it. My arms aren't that bad, at least I don't think they are. I will wear a sleeveless shirt and I do have some extra skin there but it doesn't bother me enough to get the surgery and have the big long scar down it. I hope they come up with a better surgery for that. Like with the thigh lift if they could keep the scar in the armpit somehow I would get it done.

I went to my nieces christmas concert and my whole family was there. No one in my family has seen me since surgery and everyone was shocked at how different I looked. I was pretty excited. Although I have fallen off some damn wagon here lately. I actually just ate 3 rice krispie treats I bought at that concert. Gosh! I did call and have a fill appt for Thurs and lord it can't come soon enough. It's not that I'm eating alot it's just what I am eating that sucks.

I do go up and down sooo much on the scale on a daily basis. But in general I am down about 10 pounds from day of plastic surgery. I can wear the 8's really comfortably now. I wear jeans every day and am loving how flat my tummy looks. My boobs are still swollen but the bruising is now light green and no longer looks so yucky. My scars on my boobs are almost invisible already! My doc did an amazing job. In a month or two you won't even be able to see them at all! The line is soooo thin and it's already faded so much! Really excited.

I am getting to the point of hating my garments. Gosh these things are such a pain. I have to wash one every day so I have a clean one to wear every day.. what a pain! I wish I had like 4. LOL.

Well, I am off to bed. Have a great night!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
