So now I am looking into getting my thighs and a butt lift done { to get ride of the love handles}. I have had several reconstruction  surgeries done. This will complete it. I am nerves but I always am. Here lately I have been struggling more with my weight more than ever. At this moment I am trying to get back on track, Mainly I need to stop eating crap. You know snacking on stuff I shouldn't even have in the house. This Feb it will be 6 1/2 years since I started this journey. I don't plan on letting my self down. So wish me luck with controlling myself and with this upcoming surgery.

I am proud to say that at five years out I have not regained. This has been a hard road. A road I would travel on any day. My weight has gone up and down around 5-10 pounds. When it gets close to the 10 I get nerves. I find  the hardest part of being this far out is that I am in control now. Its almost as if I never had surgery. I have to chose to put the fork down. I am still learning how to do that. I will say that gastric bypass is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I wish I would of done it 10 years earlier. I will have to say I never got real skinny. I am not saying I am fat. I look normal. Normal for me. I will have to say the one thing you should know is no matter where you end up be happy. I mean really be happy. Be Happy with the out come. I know to many people who are like I should of lost more and they fail to see how wonderful they look. I am proud of me. Be proud of you!!!

I was suppose to get my lower back done in July but my doctor is leaving. I am still wanting it done I will just have to wait and see. I also would like to get a thigh lift. I tell you I need more money!!! LoL

Well I went to see my doctor and have asked her to remove the excess skin off my lower back.  I will hopefully be getting this done in July. Its so hard to have lost all this weight and exercise and still have all this excess skin. My body is starting to look good again. I have had a tummy tuck and an arm lift already.  My weight seems to go up and down 5 pounds every other day. I would like to lose about 10 or so pounds but at this point and time I am just glad that I am not gaining my weight back. This month makes 4 and 1/2 years out. I would do this all over again. I wish I would of done this years earlier. Till next time.

I finally got my arms done on April 30. It hurt more than I thought. I got my left arm drain tube out at one week and today I got out my right arm drain tube. Which is 17 days in on  May 17. Not fun at all. I am loving the way my arms look already. They are so pretty! I will have to wait until next year to show them off so the scar has time to heal. I hope I can wait. I want to run out and buy a sun dress today. Even though I still wearing the compresstion sleaves. Its not to bad. Well  until next time.

I went to see the doctor and I will be getting my arms done in January! This is the big one for me. The one I have been waiting for. To wear a tank top, a sun dress, a cute top. I can't wait.                                                                                                       Here is a update. My prealbumin was to low. I am hoping to have the surgery in Feb. Its is now March and I am schedule to have surgery this month. I have gained a few pound trying to get my prealbum up and just really over eating. Getting back on track today. Surgery in two weeks. I can do this. Postponed again Now I am waiting for  April.

Well I hit the 3 year mark. I am so thankful to be in such good health. I went to the doctor  and she said that my labs are great and to keep up with what I am doing. That was so nice to hear because most of the time I feel as though I am felling. I weigh every day. Which seems to keep me at my weight. If I go up a few pounds I will take myself back down. I am very happy with my weight lose. I was trying to lose a few more pounds but my body seems to be fighting me. As long as I don't gain I will be happy. I actually have clothes that fit and look nice. Keep me in your prayers.

 

Well, I made it through the tummy tuck. I am still real swollen. But my belly looks great. It was not what every one said it would be. I was thinking pains of death. But that was not the case for me. Yes I was uncomfortable but dieing  NO. I think the worst part is not being able to get up and down on your own. My family helped me a great deal. I am still recovering but doing great. I think that you have to go into this with the mind set that you will be up and moving fast. I have a daughter and she needed me to be somewhere on day 3 and I was there. I think that helped me out a lot. I cant wait to see how my belly will end up looking. I know that my belly button is so cute. I never thought I would be able to say that. Well thats all for now.

I am having my tummy done on Nov 13, 2008. I am excited and nervous. Pray for me!!     :)
