Guest guest Posted December 8, 2001 Report Share Posted December 8, 2001 WELL...has it been that long? Or ONLY that long? LOL It takes 9 months to create a full term baby, and I guess it's fitting that that is how long it took me to get to my goal! I am now 175 per last weigh in (I don't want to lose below 170 before PS so as long as I'm between 170-180 I'm tickled pink!) and having no problems! I am scheduled for a LBL in March (the 11th to be exact) and then it's a breast lift 6 months after that and maintenance for life! I feel so fortunate and sometimes I can't believe all the changes happened in this short period. Other times, I feel like I've been a post op forever...I just feel so dang normal. I eat what I want and have such great health comparatively that I wonder why I didn't feel like this ALWAYS! I slacked off on the exercise to slow my weightloss (PS want it stable before surgery and I don't want to get below 160 and with the skin he plans to remove already I am THERE) but plan to kick in a 90 grams of protein daily, 3 mile walk daily to get ready for surgery. I want to be strong for this recovery as I know it's gonna be a tough one, but well worth it. Yesterday my friend and I went shopping and I bought 3 pairs of jeans in a 12! Two are a little tight due to the skin, but one fits great and I plan to update my pic in them today or tomorrow! I guess after the skin I will be a 10 ...I haven't been a 10 in years! My daughter is SO excited cuz we will be able to share clothes! HAHA! I went to a BB game at her school Thursday night and had so many compliments (One mother who was back up high in the stands hollered " U look AWESOME SUSAN " as I walked by! LOL! EMBARRASSING BUT IN A GOOD WAY!) that I really felt great about going. I remember last year going and being embarrassed because I was the biggest one there! SO that is certainly different! Anyhow, I'm thrilled with my new life, will be thrilled with my new bod once the skin is gone (LOL) and am enjoying it fully. Hope everyone else can relate to these feelings as they are too good to miss! HUGS AND HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS! TenBrook Gentry, Ark. 3-08-01 with Dr. Q 322-175-160 when skin is removed and FINI darlin!
