I'm feeling better about my appearance. I have my before/after plastic surgery pics hanging on the door in my bedroom so I can remember what I looked like.  I still see my size 12/14 clothes  on the floor and feel so embarassed if anyone saw them as they are what a really "overweight" person would wear.  I know that is insane but its my reality, though trying to conquer that daily, have lots of visual reminders to help me.  The before/after pics on this site help me immensely for support and encouragement.  I've been spending lots of money on new clothes cause after loosing my last 83 pounds I had nothing really that I bought (not hand me downs) to wear and I've been so excited.  Especially about buying new BRA's!!  I held off on the new clothes thing until it seemed that I was at a reasonably stable weight, tho I would like to lose more.  PS says I can exercise again starting 3/4 and depending upon what exercises are too strenuous for me.  I'm finally able to start cleaning the house again (there goes my recovery "excuse").  Seems I might have a job, which is new since I've been disabled for 15 years.  Things are changing and I am changing and happy. 

I'm feeling good, was scared on thurs when 1 of my 4 drains popped out.  This is the first time out of about 20 drains that that happened, but this is also the soonest that my drains were putting out so little.  Usually takes me more than 2 weeks to get to 30-40 cc's, I am at about 30 in one and negligible in the other 2.  I was feeling swollen the last 3 days (boobs) but yesterday I realized its my ribs too above my boobs that are arching.  The top half looks really good IMHO, although tonight I see a weird stitch under the right one, but not going to worry about it.  See the PS tomorrow and assume they drains will be out and then I can actually look in the mirror and see what my bottom looks like.  I was a 38DD before and asked to be a C, but I'm wearing a 42 or 40 sports bra now since a 42 B and C were both too big.  I realize they are swollen and size will change so I'm patient.  Hope all goes well tomorrow.  Bruising is gone, bromelain and arnica all the way.
