I’m now nine days post-op and I think my brain is finally functional again. I’ve been weaning myself off my painkillers and the benefits are real, yo. I’m not sure if I over medicated for fear of pain getting away from me or if I medicated approp

Tomorrow is my big day. Today I'm going to see Wonder Woman! Then, after dinner, I'll be heading to a hotel close to the hospital I'll be in. I'm doing liquids today to make sure that my stomach/bowels will be happy post-op. And yogurt for antibiot

I'm having a lower body lift and brachioplasty on Monday.

What help can I expect to need? I plan to spend most of my time in one of those anti gravity lawn chairs. Will I need help standing up? What is the best way for a person to help me

Woke up feeling great! Then I started talking and started coughing :P But I feel great otherwise! Yay!

I'm hoping to finally get to the farmers market this morning to say hi to my friends there. I can't really buy anything since I'm not p

I'm feeling MUCH better today. Yay rah! Tomorrow I'll feel even better - can't wait!

Today is my last chance for fitness classes until July 28th, so I'm planning on going at least to Tai Chi. I'll evaluate whether I feel up to staying for

I ended up doing my last meal yesterday as a yogurt instead of a protein shake. I realized that I'm going to need to eat yogurt post-op due to the antibiotic, so I needed to make sure I found a variety that I could eat and that I like. I opted for th

Prior to VSG I'd seen a lot of posts about what to take to the hospital, so I never needed to ask. But I haven't seen information about this for plastic surgery!

I was thinking I'd just take:

chapstick
iPhone

Good morning! It's a rainy Wednesday here. I'm getting ready to head off to fitness classes and then I get to read for the rest of the day! Well, read and cook dinner and put away laundry. But mainly I'll be reading.

I slept horribly last night due to pain from a weird head thing so I ended up opting not to run this morning. I'll do some yoga after I post this.

Today should be a good day - but busy considering I'm on vacation! I've got a lunch date and

I'll get us started since I might as well own my gain. I've had four days of indulgence due to graduation festivities, etc, and my scale "rewarded" me for this.

HW: 319
LW: 167
TW: 169

Next goal: 159.5 - half my starting

I have had four days of indulgence and my scale "rewarded" me for this by being up 8 pounds from my lowest weight. No surprise here. I know it'll come off quickly with diligence and that's what I'll do as plastics is in 13 days! But I survived last

Yesterday was a great but exhausting day. My party went super well and I zonked out the moment my head hit the pillow. Today is another crazy day, but hopefully slightly less crazy. I've got my voice recital (last for the year since I won't be able

Today is my graduation party which means my eating will be off plan. I'll make the best choices I want to make - I'm providing most of the food, so there are lots of great protein-forward choices!

Well I'm pretty tired! Yesterday was commencement and the weather ended up being gorgeous. It started out too warm, but cooled off as the ceremony went on. I looked super cute and felt really great about myself. :) I also got to introduce my mom an

Today is the big day! Commencement! Yesterday I went to the honors convocation and received the award for "Outstanding Achievement in the Social Sciences" which goes to the one outstanding student in the department. I'm still blown away that I was se

Good morning! My pre-op appointment with my surgeon yesterday was awesome and I think I'm all ready for surgery! Maybe. At least I have all of my instructions and I've paid all of his fees in full. I still need to pay the hospital in full, but I ca

To the people who friend me on OH - I'll accept any friend request but I'm afraid that I don't use any of the OH friend features.  I don't even know what the OH friend features are!  So I'm probabl...

Today I've got my pre-op appointment with the plastic surgeon. I'm super excited and super nervous! But first, I'm going to go run for the first time in forever because I woke up not in agonizing pain from my kidney stone. I'm going to keep it easy

First - surgery in three weeks! OMG yay! In three weeks I'll be knocked out and getting fixed up. I'm super excited and nervous and have started having anxiety dreams. My plan is to keep as busy as possible between now and then. I'm getting my hair h

Happy Monday! Three weeks until plastic surgery for me!! I'm excited, nervous, and really happy that I'm busy between now and then. I've got a dermatologist appointment this morning, then a hair appointment so I'll look pretty for commencement, and
