Hi All,
Well today is my 4 year surgery anniversary!
I have had ups and downs. I think it's easy to do after being out 4 years. You do forget, you can't have this or you can't have this. This is a tool and I have to use it. Now I have a big problem lately. I call my self fat. When I look down I see fat but really there isn't maybe some  skin. When I walk past a store front window I see I am not fat. I have always seen fat so I don't know how it feels to be thin. Like Jen said "stop it you are not fat". But why do I feel this way.I hope to stop this thinking. I am sure there is others out there just like me. I do go to the Arnot Wellness center Gym and I love going there and working out! I love to exercise there and i feel very relaxed when I go. Thanks for your time. Anita

Well everyone,
I am 1 pound below my goal...  :-) Today iIwas 149 pounds... I did 6 days of Time Out. I did this since I was eating candy bars now and then.and just not using my tool . it is so easy to loose control. now i am exercising more and trying to eat right after 4 days you forget about the using your tool and sometimes old habits come back. i tell alot of people i wish i could dump but i dont dump. now i want to make sure i eat right and i will bake but i will eat these baked goods in moderation. oh course thanksgiving and christmas will be here in no time and goodies for those days. but i will have the will power to just take a small peice and say no to sugar only sugar free. i am getting ready to do the walk from obesity and i am getting donations. i hope its not a cool morning since i lost all this weight i get cold..thanks for all the support. Anita

Hi all,
I saw Dr. Cole for my 2 month check-up from having my skin and fat romoved. Dr. Cole is very proud of me. He said I am doing very good. We gave each other a hug and he said I will see you in a year! I am 165 pounds now. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Till next time. Anita

Today is one week since my Abdominoplasty.
I went for my Dr.s appoiment today and I saw Dr. Moon.I meet him for the first time. He took out my 98 staples. Some did hurt but not to bad. After he took off all the staples he put on Steri-Strips over my incisions. He said I had two area's open and be very careful so that they could heal. So no lifting, bending and still take showers, no baths for now. And of course REST!! I see Dr. Cole in 2 weeks.

I came home from my Abdominoplasty on monday the 22nd. I was in 4 days instead of 1 day. I did have a few complications. One was my blood count was low so I needed a blood transfusion so I needed 2 units of blood. The other complication was I couldnt urinate so they did use a cathiter. They took it out to see if I could urine on my own so I could go home. So I couldn't urinate. So they had to straight cathiter me then after that was done I could urinate on my own. That was a great feeling.Dr. Cole took off 9.2 pounds of skin and fat.. I am now flat and of course swollen. But I feel pretty good. Of course I do have pain getting up and down and when my Vicodine wears out.. But other than that I am good. I tryied to count my staples and i counted 98 staples if I did count right. Time to rest now. Anita
