I had abdominalplasty on June 11th, 2010. Here I am sharing some pictures of the results. If anyon is thinking of getting it done in the future please feel free to ask any question. I would be glad to answer anything you want.

Hello OH Friends. I haven't bloged in a while, but I have to share that I am finally getting a tummy tuck. Its been two years since my surgery and its time to get this tummy of mine a make over. My surgery should be sometime in June. I will keep you all posted.

So its been 1 year on April 15th, 2009. I feel really great. People see me and call me skinny! It feels so good. At times I feel fat still. But I try to tell myself that I have gone a long way. Today I was looking at old pictures and I can't believe what a difference 100lbs makes. Its unbelievable. Well, I still want to loose 35 more pounds. But i am actually happy with where I am I just want to get rid of my stomach flab! Its horrible. Oh and my bat wings (underarms) I feel like I am able to fly away! HA HA! But overall I feel great and  I am alot more confident and I am loving life. Doctor says I am doing great and I am now taking some more vitamins. I feel like a drugie with all the pills I take. I will have to go back in 6 months to see the Doc. I am hoping to loose the 35lbs before I go see him. Crossing my fingers!

How's everyone doing? Just thought I update since i haven't  been on here in a while.  Its going to be one year since my surgery on April 15th.  I am now down 175lbs. Although I have been pretty much the same weight for about a month or so. Not sure if thats good or bad. I am kinda scared that I won't loose any more. But I am still working at it. Nothing I eat makes me sick. So I guess its good in a way. I have had problems with my sugar dropping. I need to ask the doctor about that. I believe it has a lot to do with me not drinking my protein.  But its so nasty! lol. I don't know but I need to find something else that will taste better. Anyhow, I just wanted to update on my status. Everything is going good. I hope you all are doing great also....I will be updating again after my doctor visit on the 16th of April. Crossing my fingers I hope I don't get in trouble too much....lol

So today its been 4 months since the surgery, and I am proud to say that I am 72 pound lighter. Wearing a Size 16, I never thought I would ever fit into that size. I am doing great and feeling great. I haven't had any problems. All the foods I have tried haven't made me sick. I guess I am doing well so far. The only thing I have noticed is that I get tired. And that is something that I would have to bring up at my next doctors appointment. I am trying very hard to drink my protein everyday although there are days that I slack. And that is why I belive my hair is falling out. Everyday I brush my hair the brush is full of hair. Its kind of scary. I hope I don't wake up bald one day! That would be horrible. I did start to take Biotin so hopefully that will help. Other then the hair falling, everything else is great.  How are you all doing? Leave your comments! I wants some updates!

So how's everyone doing? Well, I am doing great. Went back to work. I had 6 weeks of a long vacation. It was boring but I enjoyed not doing anything. I went to see my doctor and got my lab work done so that I can go to my one month check up. Did that and went to see Dr. Tanaka on April 28th. Everything looks good. I am loosing weight!!! LOL Its kind a hard to believe that I am already 2 pants sizes smaller. I went shopping this weekend and got me some shirts because I have my good old mom fixing my pants and so I won't have to spend that much money on a new clothes. Life is getting better by the day. I am so happy! I just hope I stay healthy!

So I Visited My Surgeron on April 23, and all went well. I tried to explain that the liquids were getting on my nerves and I couldn't take it anymore. But he didn't want to hear it and bascially he said too bad deal with it! LOL Well, I understand I have to do everything the docotor orders or something can go wrong and it will be worse. So here I am today, eating my pureed foods, good ol' cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. 

I tried fish and well it didn't go down easy. So I found out I am not chewing my food that well. So I tried to eat some again today and all went well. It was the first real meal I had. I am started to feel normal. I know it sounds wierd but I was feeling very depresed the first couple of weeks. 

I also had my frist resturant expirence. That went well. I ate some soup and a little bit a friut and everything agreed with me. 

My whole day went well until I went to my friends and decided to have two servings of sugar free ice cream. Well, lets just say me and the restroom became real good friends! HA HA! I will tell you one thing I will listen to my stomach from now on when it says its full! IT MEANS ITS FULL! 

I am home! Thank God! I didn't want to stay another minute in the Hospital! Although the staff was nice! I was tired of seeing them already! LOL I am glad the Doctor let me go home and not make me stay in San Diego until my Follow Up. I had to drive 3.5 hours home! And let me tell you it was the longest 3.5 hours ever! I had to stop every 30 min to Pee and to walk! 

So I guess I can say that I was nervous and scared for nothing! Everything turned out good just like everyone said it was. I am so thankful that I made it! Thanks you to everyone for your support and kindness. You all helped me through this, but it has only begun! Know it going to be even harder. 

Right now I am on a clear liquid diet! And it is HARD! I see my family eating and I so want to have what they are having! But I talk to myself and say "Hey you can do this! Before you know it you will be eating real food!" 

Well, I can't wait to get to my goal weight which is 140lbs. I know weigh 253lbs.  (according to my scale at home, anyway)

Ok. So I am having some mixed feelings right now! I feel excited, sad, emotional, and nervous. I am glad that I am finally going to have my surgery and I just want it done and over with. But I am sad cause I can't believe I let me myself get this big and now I am having to suffer the consequences to be thin! I know it sounds harsh but I just can't help it! 

So Tuesday is my Surgery and I am getting ready for it but I decided to stop packing and write a couple of things on this blog because I won't be around the computer for about a week! So I ask all of my friends on here to think about me and pray that everything will come out ok. I am nervous but I am leaving everything in the hands of the good ol' man upstairs. 

I am happy that I am going to have the most important people in my life next to me when i go through this life change. I don't think I can make it with out them. My father, Mother, my sister, my best friend, and most of all my closest friends. I have all the support I need and now I am ready to get this done and over with!

So I will keep you all posted and let you know how everything went! I can't wait to be on the loosing side! See ya!
