I am sooooo glad I asked for today off! My eating for the last 2 weeks has been horrible. Thank goodness I saw my counselor yesterday, she really helps me get things in perspective! The realization that this is yet another part to a new journey! Thank goodness for all the post- ops who share their experiences here, there is so much comfort in  hearing repeatedly how happy they are that they finally did their surgeries!!!! Thanks sooooooooo much for sharing!!!

So today I feel better about how my eating will be today and rest of the weekend, as being at work and dealing with woman behaving badly wasn't helping.

My surgery is 4 days away, and I have this need to have my house super duper clean and orderly. If it isn't I truely can not rest well. It gives me some peace of mind to have this control, cause Lord knows, I won't be able to do much about anything else later!!!

Anyway thanks for listening to my ramblings,

Yep. I was the same way. I felt like i was "nesting" for weeks, trying to get super-duper ready. Today I am 10 days out and feel great. Just be ready for a tough first couple days. I had 2 bad days, but after taking all my pain meds, even those first 2 days were not that bad. I've bounced back quickly and am so thrilled with my results so far (very swollen, but I can tell it's gonna keep getting better).

I wish you a swift, pain-free recovery!!

 I know what you mean about getting the house ready .  I have 21 days to go and I am plotting my cleaning.  I have had a couple of rough eating days. I think its nerves, but today I am back on track.  I have been walking every morning and trying to get my legs stronger.  Please let us know how it goes.  this support is really key for me.  Good Luck

Hi Antonietta!
It was like these last 2 weeks flew by! And I do better as time closes in when it comes to "purging" papers and clutter, Its so much easier for me to ask myself "when was the last time i used this?" or "Do I really use this?". 

Also last weekend I cleaned my rifrigerator out, expired foods. And don't forget to get rid of old meds!!!! I don't want to grab for the wrong thing, or have someone else reach for the wrong thing for me.

Thanks for listening and encouraging me!

Cyndy,
Have you noticed any improvement in your thighs as well? I am hoping that it will improve the thighs a bit, I know I will still need a thigh lift, but hoping that it improves the appearance a little.

Make sure you are getting some rest in,

Hi Lori!
So gotta ask, how are you healing? How are you feeling? Any tips or advice for things that can be useful or helpful?

I had my first follow up appt on Wednesday and am healing very well he said.

Just make sure you keep the protein up after surgeon no matter how you get it, it helps with healing.  Also have a few sundresses available to wear with the drains and a few tank tops as well.  When you are done with packing the incision with gauze under the binder, wear a tank top under the binder so it doesn't rub against it and start to itch.  I find that if i have the binder off for more than 5 minutes my stomach muscles become very painful so keep the binder on, it really does help.  oh and i got myself a raised toilet seat that I'm still using...great help to not have to bend down so low onto the toilet.  I wish you all the luck in the world. 

i've been taking pics sonce i was in the hospital but havent gotten them up yet sorry, i would have been glad to show them to you.  believe me after this i have no shame in people seeing all of me...lol
