May thoughts
May 05, 2012
I just re-read my last blog post so thought I'd update some things. I had a workout with my trainer on April 26th and he told me " you know you are back, don't you?". He had really upped the weights on me and with the exception of one set when I said it was too much, I did it all. He wanted me to know I was back at the intensity and weight levels I was before surgery. It was less than two months since the surgery, so I was very pleased...and canceled another activity that Saturday so I could work out again.Overall, I really feel good. I'm happier with the results and am finally able to say I'm glad I did it. I think about having my legs & butt done, but don't think I ever will. My issue with my legs is they are still Shar Pei like so I won't wear shorts or short dresses, but reality is if I had the thigh surgery, I'd have a scar inside each thigh and wouldn't wear shorts or short dresses, so why bother? So for now my game plan is to stick to my original truce I called with my body - if there is something I don't like, I'll find a way to deal with it nonsurgically. If that doesn't work, I'll just have to accept it and live with it.
I go back to see my plastic surgeon on Tuesday and will likely have to do the revision on the boobs. He said it can be done in his office with a local, not general, anethestic, so that's a relief. We'll see what he says on Tuesday.
We went away for a few days with two other couples. The one guy has always been very intense and can be blunt to the point of being rude. He hasn't seen me in a couple of years. It was amazing how much more respectful he was to me this time than ever before. I'm going to be part of a panel at MVH in a couple of weeks talking to staff about how people treat you differently after losing so much weight. I hope there is enough time to share all the stories. It's been eye opening but people are human. So .... more later....
