Update

Just a quick hi to everyone! I hope everyone is doing really well! One more week of school and it's spring break here, FINALLY!!! Can't wait for some time off, school is crazy! Everything here is okay... tummy was doing FABULOUSLY until I went back to exercising (which I WAS cleared for). Aparently my tummy didn't get the memo so it's really swollen and icky again and I'm back to wearing my binder and girddle thing 24/7. My BA is on Wed. I can tell you I have NEVER EVER been so afraid in my life of having surgery. I don't know why. I'd lose every penny if I don't go through with it or I kind of think I probably wouldn't. I'm scared I'll get frankenstein breasts or something. I even cry about it. I'm scared they'll be too big, or not big enough or different sizes, or one higher than the other or cross 'eyed' nipples, or... Okay I guess I'm not okay, I'm obviously going insane. I think it's school stress too!?! haha Weight loss is good though. I'm trying to make it to a new goal of 130 and I'm at 137 right now. Mostly cuz of the cold going around and I don't want to eat! Well, if you sunshine please send some up to Wisconsin !!! I can't wait for spring! Lots of love and hugs, thinking of you guys! Renee

Good for me sad for you it's like 80 today, I went and bought protien bars at lunch and had to take them into the office when I got here so they didn't melt in the car.... You will be ok you will love this surgery I think it's the one that makes you feel the most different, in a better sort of way.... I do agree it's hard the 2nd time around you know there is real pain and recovery involved, thank god for the pain meds. I know after this round 3 I am done I can't take the recovery anymore it's stressful and it takes a while for your body to get up and running again afterwards, I still swell from my LBL and that was January 07, now my face looks like a pumpkin when I swell from my facial surgeries and it's been 2 weeks out....my hair also thins every surgery and it was just starting to get all grown back in from my 2nd round in July....oh well I will be praying for you Tori

wow 80s would be so amazing Tori, you're soo lucky!! Congrats on the latest surgery though, that must be amazing!!! Wow I can't believe you still swell from over a year ago! That's nuts!!! It sucks cuz from the 3 days of abs you could FEEL them already! I'm not so scared of the pain really I'm just not sure... I have been crying on and off for a week. It's so stupid. My poor b/f. He doesn't know what to do or say anymore. I have one more after this and it will be awhile before I can afford it... be lucky if it's at the end of the year like I wanted, I doubt it. Maybe that's good though.

I have to admit I am so bad at excercising, I have been riding on this afraid to use to my abs for a year now, well I guess since he did some more muscle tightening in this last round I can ride it out for a few more monthes, I really do need to start working out I have noticed my thighs are getting really squishy and there is no way I am getting a thigh lift, I have told myself I am even going to stay away from the PS board so I don't get convinced by all of the well meaning people over there to just go ahead and do it.... Don't cry any more you will be fine and love your new look.... HAVE A GREAT WEEK TORI oh yeah the 80s are nice it turned out to be 86 Friday, but we skip right over spring and I think that is the greatest time of year.........I guess there are give and takes where ever you live.

wear the binder as long as possible. I thought my surgeon was NUTS telling me 3 months but I did it and and know it make me feel better. I sometimes want it now as well. It will keep fluid from settling on your ab area - so go for the short term pain for long term results.....xoxo...tiffany - PS - am done with winter as well.
