Is the Honeymoon Over?

I am 9 months post-op and I hear I am probably at the end of the "honeymoon" phase! 

Well it has been a great 9 months and I feel wonderful but cautious on how to maintian where I am at.

I do not realy want to lose any more;  but would love to get my some of my butt back!!! 

I joined a health club for the winter to help with that goal.  

I just love being outside walking and running so staying motivated through the winter months scares me a bit. (who I am kidding) it scares me to death.

Any tips on staying motivated over these cold months? 


 

Butt back?   Butt back?  You can join a club for that?  Seriously?  What club?  Do they serve cosmos?

LOL, that made me giggle! 

My butt looks like an 80 year old woman!  I am used to having a little junk in the trunk.  Its my luck, when big butts are fashionable; I lose mine!!! 

I joined Lifetime to work on strengthening/toning over the winter!  I still do Yoga weekly, but I think I need more focus...

Thanks for the chuckles!!!

Joining a gym sounds like a fabulous idea.  I have been walking and riding my bike all summer and into the fall, but I won't be able to spend 1 - 2 hours a day outdoors all winter, so I am looking at either joining a gym or starting a training regimen at home.  I think it would be easier to be motivated at the gym, especially if you can find a work out buddy.

On the whole butt thing....I wrote a post not too long ago about not being able to find my ass with both hands these days.  I wish that was neither funny nor true.

Good luck!

Good for you joining a club NOW in preparation for winter.

You try FIRST. 

LOL... my goodness they are perfect!!  Just what I need.  They come in packs of 3 so we just need one more woman to go in on a pack!

Thanks Kristy - have a great day.

They come in singles too I see.  Plus we'd be different sizes.

I just Googled "butt enhancing underwear" lots of sources and varieties I think.  I might seriously try something like this.  I find pockets with back flap pockets help a little, but definately not enough.

You are all welcome to have as much of my butt as you want! 

As a matter o fact.. I'm having a fire sale on butt today... First come, first served - actually I could accomodate about 3 or 4 requests.

Seriously, I have heard about the honeymoon period and some say it lasts 6 mos, 9 mos, have even heard 18 mos.  Is this something made up by post-ops or did your clinic give you that window to lose as much as possible in the time frame.  Just curious because I just passed the 6 month mark and want to lose more!

Thanks,

I am sure you will lose more; I just heard through other post-ops over coffee etc. the general rule of thumb is in the first 9 months or so it literally feels like it melts off of you!  It is a lot easier to lose the weight.  After that initial loss; then it becomes more work, but not impossible!  
Just like a marriage I guess....

Good luck and congrats on your success thus far.
