I'm back, post-crisis. Thanks everyone. ALSO: new boobs!
Hey,
I posted last week about totally freaking out when I was told I'd reached my goal for weight loss, and going on a huge food binge. I read every single response several times and all of your kind comments and encouragement brought me to tears. I decided right then and there that I needed to remove myself for a while. So I went with a friend up to my family's cabin (about an hour north of my house) and spent the weekend there picking blackberries, playing card games, and just relaxing. It helped so much. It was a great break. I came back rested and with a renewed sense of purpose.
I got back onto my diet and, true enough, lost 4lb of water weight within 2 days. I still gained 3lb from my self-destructiveness but you know what, I can take care of it in 2 weeks. It's not the end of the world.
Also *drumroll* I had my breast lift/augmentation yesterday!!! Woah! Lemme tell you, it's just plain bizarre. I feel like I have 2 footballs strapped to my chest. There isn't a lot of severe pain, it feels like I did 1,000 pushups. More like extreme muscle soreness. I can't lift my arms over my head or lift anything over 5lb (which means I can't pull open our heavy refrigerator door LOL, how's that for portion control!). I was very very sick the first 12hrs after surgery, throwing up a lot. But we figured out it was the percocet they had me on. They switched to lortab and it took care of the problem. Weird. I had all of this healthy food made up at the house, stuff like broccoli, turkey breast, etc. But when I got home all I could stomach was plain ritz crackers and creamed corn (what the...? I don't even know). Everything else has been too much. But I figure I get a free pass for a few days, especially since my body is healing and I'm not eating a whole lot cuz I'm sleeping so much. So I'll eat whatever I can keep down. I'm trying to figure out a good source of protein, because so far it all makes me sick just thinking about it. Nothing sweet, nothing meaty. I'm going to really try to get something in tomorrow.
Anyway, thanks again to everyone. You're all such a priceless support for me. I'll post before/after pics on my profile when I'm a little more healed and look less like bride of frankenstein.
Love you all!
