Percentage of Body Fat

Good morning my fellow June bugs! I went to see my general surgeon on Thursday and had my percentage of body fat measured on the Tanita scale. OMG! My body fat percentage is 21%. I'm considered underfat now. Who would have thought that? My fat free mass has increased; probably added muscle mass! YAY!!! Now I'm in my final preparations for plastic surgery on November 29th. My pre-op testing is scheduled for this Wednesday. Only 10 more days and then I can kiss goodbye most of my excess skin. Goodbye to my sharpeii legs and hanging belly and drooping butt! Time to get My schedule for the next 10 days is so full, I'll need the extra rest. I feel like I've been on a speed train the last 2 months since I've been working every Sunday and holiday. Soon, no more working on Sundays! YAY!!!! Well, got to go! Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Lucy

Good for you Lucy! I was going to respond to your post to me, but since I'm getting you here, I guess I got it covered LOL! I am so anxious to be rid of this skin on me too. It is a nuisance and sure makes healing up harder. My belly wouldn't hurt so bad right now if not for this skin swinging and swaying around pulling at me incisions! UGGHHH!!!! I am rooting for you. Keep up the positive out look on things, I am sure you will do great! Wendy

Hi Wendy! I just came back from the hospital for my pre-op history and physical and pre-op testing. Today marks 1 week to the date of my plastic surgery. I am getting scared now. It was so easy to talk about it and soon the time is here. I will have scars all over my lower abdomen going across just above the butt. And the legs, OMG! I sure hope they heal. I am expecting a lot of pain and hope they give me enough pain medication. On a positive note, I will not be able to eat much and definitely no grazing. I've been naughty in that regard. I start each day right but at some point, I start this nonsense and eat again. Ugh! I think it is all the stress I am under. I know that is not the answer. I will do my best for the next few days. Thanks for your support and being a good friend. I wish you the happiest, safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday. Hugs and Love, Lucy
