3 1/2 wks post PS

Apr 11, 2010

It has been almost 4 weeks since my PS.  I am healing better than normal according to my DR.  My stomach and face in front of my ears and under my chin are still numb.  My incisions are healing very well.  My arms have been the most tender, maybe because I use them so much.  I have lost some additional weight, most likely what they removed during surgery.  The swelling seems to be almost gone.  I am pretty much a size small on top and a 4/6 in pants.  I lost a cup size with the breast lift (C now) which is proportionate for my size, but I miss the girls.  I have been big busted most of my adult life.  That is an adjustment too.  LOL
Had anyone ever told me I would be this size I would NEVER have believed it.  My husband says I'm tiny (LOL) but I don't see it in the mirror.  I am definately smaller but the mind still has yet to catch up with my body.  I do not want to lose any more weight.  I am 61 (62 in June) and can't afford to look like a twig - that's for the young.  I need to build a butt and define my waist.  My but looks like a deflated balloon so when I get the okay to start exercising I need to do lots of squats.  My waist is pretty straight, I'd like to thin that down a bit.  I am short waisted so I don't know how much I can do about that. 
Regardless of any improvements I would like to make, I am thrilled with where I am right now with my weight loss and my surgical outcome.  Both of my  DRs did a great job. 
It's hard to believe I am at goal, when I started I thought I would be the only one that WLS wouldn't work for.  I have been very fortunate to lose weight steadily and I don't take for granted the gift I have been given.  I don't ever want to go back to where I was 8 months ago.
