Biggest Plateau Ever
Jul 06, 2011
I think I'm pretty well done with my weight loss now, at least until I have my plastics done to remove all the excess skin on my tummy, arms, & inner thighs, I plan to get my breasts augmented too because they're nothing but pancakes now & I hate them. I'm not sure if I'll do anything about my butt. We'll see.I haven't innitiated anything as far as a consult yet for the plastics though because my husband & I were hoping to go on a fertility journey via IVF & I thought it would be best to wait to have my tummy & everything done until after we conceived a child. Unfofortunately, it turns out we're not only dealing with a low sperm count & motility but I apparently only have half a uterus (called a Unicorn Uterus) as well. I could still conceive but the risk for pregnancy loss all the way into the 3rd trimester is quite high & the more I think about investing the thousands of dollars IVF takes to possibly only come out at the end with a broken heart & a lot of debt made me more or less drop the idea & we've moved onto adoption again, however this time we're going to do it privately instead of via the State like we did for our girls.
Anyways, without the plans of getting pregnant on the table any longer I plan to get a referral put in for a plastics consult soon. I at least want to find out how much our insurance coverage will be & how much we need to save up for out of pocket. I know my insurance (Tricare Prime) will cover the tummy tuck & possibly a breast lift due to skin issues but everything else will be on me.
As for my weight loss, I've been pretty well stuck fluctuating between 151 & 149 for the last 5 months. I finally saw the scale drop to 148 about 5 days ago & then yesterday I came down with an awful stomach flu (first experience with one post RNY) & it's been AWFUL. The only perk is today I saw the scale drop 2 more lbs so now I'm officially at 146 & just 11 lbs shy of my goal. Sucks it had to take a nasty stomach flu to get there but I just hope once it's over I don't bounce back up to 150. Either way I'm happy with where I'm at weight wise & just looking forward to getting rid of all this excess skin so I can feel good about the way my body looks at this weight too. It's been a long journey but so totally worth it & it's not over yet!
