Gloomy Tuesday in Pacifc Northwest...

Oct 04, 2011

Okay, here is where I am standing with regard to getting plastics sooner than later...  I have another consult on November 7, but I am also concerned that I will only be given "one bite at the apple." If I need a revision, I may be outta luck, so that will be a foremost question in the consult. 

Someone asked if I knew how much my pannus weighs, my primary doctor estimated 30 pounds, but since it is still attached to me, this is going to be a wait & see sort of thing. 

I am still paddling away, and have swam 363 miles so far this year.  My back is giving me trouble, so I really need to switch up what I am doing.  Having to wear TWO swim suits (one is a bottom, under my one piece, I wear BACKWARDS) just to hold my flesh inside the swimsuit.  I chose black, as it just looks like part of my suit -- I try for some color matching, come on, I am still a girl!  And for those wondering, YES, I have to wear what I call my "body armour," or "undergarments," you know, latex & spandex, my two bestest friends!!!  The wobble I make just walking sort of cracks me up, but at the same time makes me aware I need some heavy duty help!  I guess I knew this would be an issue, so I am not too bummed at the deflating of my fat.

It's a good thing I LOVE corsets!  Ha ha ha, I haven't tried on my old one that I had custom made, partly out of fear I am still too fat to wear it.  I have some Halloween ideas, and the dress length corset, will look fabulous!  It is ivory brocade, has a sweetheart neckline, and goes almost to my knees -- sexy!  Someone actually posted on my Facebook page a photo of me wearing it -- ironically, I bought it for my birthday, oh so many years ago!!!  If it fits, I promise to post photos.

I did something I thought was kind of fearless at my Support Group Meeting, I shared my nude before photos -- and my one month post op - to show where I have been.  I need to update them, as I only have three months worth of nude comparisons.  The photos were printed to show the plastic surgeon, and I still had them in my purse on Saturday -- just imagine if a stranger got a hold of them - YOINKS!  Like you never saw a REALLY fat chick before?  I also had some cheesecake shots -- yup, even close to 500 pounds I poised on the beach, sans clothing, on Maui... Imagine how I would get out of the indecency ticket if a cop ever saw me?!  Maybe I share a little too much?

Things are cold up here in the Pacific Northwest.  I actually gave up & washed my truck, including a good vacuuming!  If it rains, I don't care, I could not stand the dirt living on my pretty truck.  It's good exercise, and frankly, I like driving in a pretty truck!  Staying busy, that's me!  Get out there - even if it is cold - and get MOVING!  I did gardening yesterday, will do some more today, and I swam before I washed my truck -- what did YOU do physically, today?!

Stay positive!!!
