great new pic stacey!!!

Janie! I am so sorry! It has to be the muscles being tightened during your surgery. I mean I had an entire body lift and a breast revision just 4 days ago and I drove myself to the mall today and shopped for bras and swimsuits. I am also totally off my pain meds. I am NOT meaning to sound like I am bragging, AT ALL! The muscle tightening is the only difference I can imagine that is making you suffer so much. That just HAS to be the difference that I am pretty normal shape already and you are still suffering. I am so, so sorry. I bet it is similar to when I had the breast lift and augmentation. Because the implants were under the muscle, I was so stinking miserable for about 5 days. I will be praying for you and fingers crossed that you turn the corner very soon. You are a week out now, so hopefully you are about to make some serious ground on the healing. UHG! I know it is miserable now, but I bet your tummy is going to be as flat as a pancake soon!

Marta - yeah, I've gained weight after my PS. I was so bummed becaused they removed 4 pds of skin and I walked out weighing 8 lbs more. Makes no sense to me, I am so bloated. What happy pills are you on? The Loratab work but make so tired. lol! Kind of hard to be tired w/ kids around.

Hi Holly - I know I just had surgery on friday, but what a way to mess up your head...... I got on the scale last night, fully clothed.... it said I weighed 164!!! WHAT!!! I know it has to be from the surgery, all gas, fluids ect.... but man what a way to mess with your head. The morning of surgery I weighed myself and it said 155 ( that's the lowest I've ever been) Soooo on that note I'll have wait till next week for a more accurate reading. Also my happy pills are not really working and had to call Dr. for another kind, hopefully these will be better. I'm startng to feel a little better, but the gas is still a killer. Hope everyone has a good week - Marta

Am I lost? Is it not Monday? Spring break was last week and my days are all off- so if I'm nuts just ignore this post. I am really enjoying checking in on everyone's surgeries- I can't believe you are all so mobile already. I am also anxious to see the before and afters- and am hoping they will prompt my husband to cough up some cash for a little tummy help!!! I had a rough week- it's so crazy how some weeks are just easier than others. I am out of my window by about 2 pounds- which scares the crap out of me. Which is actually good I guess. I was really tired and barely got any exercise in which I'm sure is contributing to the problem. I think I need to see a food therapist or a nutritionist or take up knitting- I'm looking for info on all three! HW 250 LW 126 TW 131 Have a great week!!! Holly
