You are such a good mother..Its nothing like being a mother my kids are my world and they are so proud of me for losing weight and I'm so proud of them for being my support system. By the way you have a handsome son.

Hi There:

I have a question that I would like some feed back on relative to Plastic Surgery. How do you feel about Plastic Surgery for people over 50 y.o.? I ask this because I have lost a lot of weight (over 150 lbs.) via diet and exercise over the last 2 years. I am a bit over 50 y.o. and I know that I will have some type of Facial Plastics...I think anyone should think about that no matter how old. But what about some Body Contouring work (Arms, Stomach, Thighs, maybe breasts.) Is it worth going through the surgery and the healing process?

Something about Me: I am an Energetic, Passionate woman with a LOT of Living left to Do! I am a lawyer and I have been often told that I am very good looking.

For those of you that have had some Body work...Is it worth it, surgery and recouperation?

I agree. go to ur Dr. ASAP sounds like you might be dehydradted

Hi everyone! I am about 6 weeks post op right now. Over the last week or two, I have been experiencing light headedness, low blood pressure, feelings of stabbing pain in the stomach and muscle stiffness on the abdominal muscles. I am not sure if I should be concerned or not. I almost passed out the other day when I went for my walk. Don't worry, I made back to the house okay.

Has anyone had any of these issues? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have an appointment to see the surgeon in two weeks.


Update 06/21/12: I did call the dr's office and was admitted to the hospital. They gave me IV fluids and ran a whole bunch of tests. There definitely was no blockage and blood work was fine. I was discharged this afternoon. Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement.

  Hula hooping ... it is an awesome workout and a year ago I shared a how-to link on a group I used to have on here....

Here is a simple fun routine ... and my oh my it is a fun calorie burner or keeping in shape workout ...  http://www.realsimple.com/health/fitness-exercise/workouts/h ula-hoop-exercise-00000000057576/index.html 

Of course for it to work best a fitness hula hoop at a sports store is the best kind to have and if you don't want to spend $$ you can make your own and several others .... WOW .. with only one roll of tubing I made awesome weighted hulas and decorated them for family, friends and the awesome youth at church and at the outreach center where I volunteer...

This is the link for how to make hula hoops and  ALL the materials are found at your local hardware store .. I spent less than $40 bucks and made hulas galore ... and still make them when asked.  I weight my hulas with steelies and water ... and have an awesome work out .... 

HOW TO MAKE A HULA HOOP:  http://www.jasonunbound.com/hoops.html  IT IS AN AWESOME WORKOUT...

I made these last year ... I even made several recently as the weather is warming up for friends who like to hula on the beach .... hmmmmmmm I may just do that later.... heading out to Zumba with my daughter again this morning ... then to the house of praise ... and then to RELAX .. maybe on the beach.... I did a 5 mile run early this morning ... that morning run gives me a surge of energy for the rest of the day....


 

and yesterday on the Green when my son DARED me to hula with others I was right on it too...
