Had surgery March 5th :)

Mar 07, 2010

so I finally had my arm and boob lift and breast augmentation done friday morning at 9am! I've been in a good amount of pain, thank god for pain meds to help sooth it over and make it barable. my arms are looking really good so far, it's hard to put them down tho because i have one continuous incision from my elbow down to under my boob because they took that excess skin you have on the side of your boobs so it's been crazy. I finally got a shower today since my surgery and I feel alot better, got more color in my face now. I have some pictures of my arms so i'll try and get those posted soon!

Update and surgery in March!!

Jan 07, 2010

ok so lets see! I'm going to be 8 months post op this month and I've lost like 86lbs which puts be down to bout 180-179 ( I keep going bk and forth). I'm so excited, but I'm nervous I'm going to get bk to my bad habits. I'm not missing the pop, the chips I'm able to live w/o BUT!! the sweets are killing me!! I love chocolate and candy, ugh it's to tempting and I know I need to...no I HAVE to stay away from it!! I need to keep my head on straight and not regress.

In other news, March 5th I'm going to be having my arm lift, boob lift and breast augmentation. I'm stoked bout my arms but nervous bout the boobs. Now some of you are prob. wondering "why in the world would this 20yr old be getting a breast lift and  BOOB JOB!!?" the breast lift is def. needed because even before all this weight lose n wut not, my boobs weren't perky and were already heading south even at like 17. talk about major self concious problem w/ that. but now that i've had all this weight lose, i've lost ALL the volume in my boobs. Which I was originally a 44 DDD and I'm down to a 40 D, so to me it's a lil depressing cuz I loved having big boobs and I know that if I just had the breat lift, I'd be down in a C cup and I wouldn't be happy with that. I don't want to go bk to a DDD, but I would like to be at least a 42 DD, get some of my fullness back that I lost. i just want to have perky normal 20yr old boobs. Before I was never one for the whole boob job thing and I was (and still am) nervous and terrified that they are gonna mess it up and they look totally fake and dumb. But the more I got to thinking about it I knew that if I wanted to truely be happy with how my boobs turned out I'd need the augmentation.

Wow that's a lot about boobs lol, guess I just want to explain my side of it so I don't sound like I just want big boobs for the hell of it. I've always had biiigg boobs, I just want a little bit of that back.

2 days until I'm 3 months post op :D

Aug 16, 2009

hey everyone! sooo i'm almost 3 months post op. and I'm 56lbs down. I started out at 266 and i'm not down to 210. :D i'm so excited, I'm able to eat stake, shrimp and chicken but I make sure I chew it up alot just to make sure it doesn't get stuck or anything. I've been feeling great, more energetic and a lot happier. Recently my boyfriend told me that he's noticed that everytime I see my reflection in a window/mirror I always look or watch myself lol. I didn't really notice it until he'd said something but it was very true and ya know wut, I don't feel stupid or anything like that because for the first time in like 3 yrs, I look good!!! I look at my legs, my face, just everywhere. I look great and I feel great. granted i'm like 60lbs away from being where I wanna be but I'm just half way there!! On kind of a sour note, I've been on a platue for about 2-3 weeks and I'm thinking that its just cuz my body has to catch up since it's already been thro so much shock and stress. Another poss thing, and I dont know if this could be true or not but I was on the smaller spectrum of ppl who have had this and I'm not losing it as much as someone else would that weighed more than I had. Idk, I'm just trying to fig. out wuts up with my body and this weight loss. Back on a good note!! earlier this week after I got my bike fixed, I rode my bike for 7 miles and then walked a mile, next day I rode 2 miles. OH!!! and I'm gonna be joing a Zumba class here in kokomo!! I'm so excited!!  Check it out on youtube, its awsome!! welp thats about it for now. take care everyone!!!

2 months out!!

Jul 21, 2009

so I'm 2 months out and I'm doing pretty great!! as of right now I'm in LeHigh Acres, Florida visiting a friend that moved a year ago. I've been here since the 16th and I'm leaving the 24th :( I've had such a blast. I was a little nervous to check my weight not because I hadn't watched what I've been eating, but afraid I might of hit another platue. but I weighed myself today and I'm officially 51 lbs down!!! I'm so excited!!! i haven't lost this much weight since back in 06'!! this is so big for me, I went from weighing 266lbs down to 215lbs now! omg it feels so great, i'm looking so much better, I feel better. I've been swimming a lot and doing a lot of walking, i need to get those elastic band that you use for ur arms that you can stand on and pull up on n wut not. my arms dont look as big as what they used to, i can tell that they've slimed down but now is gettin to be just kinda flabby skin ya know. I'm eventually gonna have to have the excess skin removed (even tho i wish i didnt have to need to)  any ways, just had to update and tell everyone what's been going on with me lately!:D:D

2 weeks 2 days post op...I need people to talk to...

Jun 03, 2009

ok so I'm 2 weeks post op, feeling sooo much better. Still a little sore sometimes but it's definatly managable. I've had maybe 3 breakdowns since my surgery, the worst was going to my grandparents on memorial day. when we got there I had taken like a 2hr nap because everything I had done tended to wear me out, but when i woke up, I woke up to the smell of all my favorite foods. Potatoes, chicken, mac and cheese etc etc. I'm not gonna lie, I started to cry cuz i knew I couldn't have one bit of it and I was sitting in the living room while everyone was in the kitchen, laughing, having a good time and EATING! My bf had shown up when I woke up because I was going over to his aunts with him thankfully. I called for my mom becuase I was NOT going to go in the kitchen, and I just broke down when she came and gave me a hug. I'm a strong person, but I didn't realize how trying this was going to be. I'm able to be around ppl a little more when they eat, don't get me wrong it's still hard but ya know, this is what I wanted. I brought this on myself, and I have yet to say or think that I regret having it done. i know i need to be positive but it's hard for me when I have no one to talk to that has also had it done. i feel alone and my mom isn't entirely helping. She's trying to be so so supportive and she is a lot of times and she worries about me non stop, but it just feels like she forget how "vulnerable" I am right now...idk. I just need people to talk to. On the other hand and happier note, i'm down 25lbs :Dlol

May 21, 2009

ok sooo, it's 3 days after my gastric bypass surgery, and wow, the pain. I've been a trooper this whole time but man, im ready for the next week or so to get thro the pain. I was pretty happy w/ myself, the day of my surgery and into that night when they had me up every 2 hrs to walk, I finished a mile and tues. I walked 2 more miles there at the hospital. so far i've been tryin to get into a routine as to taking my vitamins and wut not, getting my walking in and when I'm not walking I try to sleep thro the worst pains. The day of my surgery I weighed 260lbs. I gained 6 more just because of the fluids but now I've lost 3-4 n a 1/2lbs of it so. I'm truckin along.

The waiting and post poning

Mar 30, 2009

ok so it's been a while since I've been on here and just thought I'd update. Orig. my surgery date was Jan 2, but got post poned because we found out I have a hyper active thyroid meaning its causing my metabolism to be super slow (its all backwards and complicated) so I was put on thyroid med. so then my surgery got post poned to Feb. 5, TWO days before surgery they told me it had to be post poned because my thyroid levels were high again. they told me the basically my thyroid is not working at all so I've been at the dr.s so much, getting blood work done checking the levels and now I'm gonna have to go and see an endocrinologist april 1st to have a biopsy done on it. As of right now I have no idea as to when i will have my surgery and it's probably gonna take bout a year to get my thyroid in check. i have all my classes done and everything else I'm supposed to have the surgery done, I'm just now waiting on to get this stupid thing fixed so bla >.<
