A 2 year post-op and 1 week post-reconstruction

Fri, 08 Jan 2010 20:44:00 -0800

I've had a lot of emotions going through my head lately. That's probably due to two things - 1) I hit the two year mark and 2) I recently had plastic surgery.

2 Year Mark - Wow, 2 years! That went by so quickly that all of the pain, issues, ...

Almost my 2 year surgiversary!

Wow, how fast time flies when you are actually having fun

This week, I will hit my 2 year mark. In that time, I have managed to go from a high of 336 to 207 (give or take a few pounds). My looks have changed dramatically as has my outlook ...

Is it time?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:02:00 -0700

I've been wondering if now is the time to research plastic surgeons. For a while now, I've been really unhappy with my appearance, the way my clothes fit - specifically related to my tummy area. I'm no longer happy 'as is'.

So how do I go about finding the right ...

Is there a connection?

When I'm on vacation, my eating plans just fall apart. I end up endlessly snacking and eating stuff I wouldn't normally eat (or eat so much of). During last weekend, I ate cinnamon rolls and hummingbird cake (seemingly non-stop). When I got back to work on Tuesday, I had a ...

Why did the scale finally move?

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 07:53:00 -0700

To be honest with you, I'm not accepting that it has actually moved - despite what is now documented in the chart. If I can maintain it, I'll accept it.

The scale may have moved because I shook things up a bit. I think calories and balance has a lot to do ...

18 Month Check Up

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:05:00 -0700

Yesterday, I had my 18 month post-op visit. The results...

Weight: 202.8
BMI: 30
Vitamins: All great except, B1 was slightly elevated (no concern) and B12 was on the low side. I will be increasing my B12 intake to 2000 mcg.

Concerns that I discussed - vitamins, plastics, heart palpitations and protein ...

Reality bites!

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:21:00 -0700

And my reality is that I haven't been trying to lose any more weight (just wishing for it to happen).

This hit me hard yesterday (on Easter). We were traveling from my in-laws to my parents, and I was complaining. Basically, I'd like it if no one every said anything about ...

Where am I?

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:18:00 -0700

I've been missing from the OH scene for a while, just checking in occasionally. Today, I might as well give an update - even if there is little to report.

I'm still a food addict. I think about food a lot - maybe not as much as before surgery, but still ...

Could it be?

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 10:58:00 -0800

Could it be that my scale is finally on the move? According to the Wii Fit and my scale, I've lost about 2 pounds. I won't officially count it until I see the same number more than one day in a row. I've been bouncing around too much to get too excited ...

All these emotions

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:47:00 -0800

The emotional rollercoaster has left me exhausted. I've been dealing with the potential of losing my job due to restructuring... and then a flood of work. I've been dealing with my oldest DD... the triangle of friends issue, the anxiety issues, the crying, the homework, the inability to plan and ...
