Here we go
Oct 29, 2011
Well here we go about 2 weeks from excess skin removal off my inner thighs.
its not what most would think,i'm not getting a total thigh lift just removing excess skin that is causing skin infections. I am scared some as when I had the panni done I had lots of complications again it was not a tummy tuck I do not have a flat tummy but my panni don't hang to my knees anymore.
I can say almost 2yrs out and I still have my days that I struggle to maintain. me and scale have words often these days. It still is a battle But a battle that I can say I am winning to a point. working out for me has become a problem not because i don't want to, but with my fibro it makes every step sometimes unbearable. I am forcing my body to work out to a point. so lately the scale has not moved which is good but i need to start losing again since I gained some wieght and none the less I truly am not the bit happy about it.
So I can say that working out is something i must work on again and take it slow which for me is a challenge at times. My hair has grown back! and well my tummy didn't explode from drinking soda either!! I don't dump..then again I wish I did!!!
mini snickers are evil:)
Eating is going wonderful bread can be evil at times... water has become my best friend right along with crystal light pkts.
oh yea bars are my go to protien on the run when there is no time or tummy is too stressed to eat a meal. Yes that happens I still have grouchy pouchy days.
pasta is a killer for me rice is fine go figure.
I have learned through all of this FOOD IS NOT MY BEST FRIEND ANYMORE!!! Yes that is right food now is something i must do to remain alive.
I enjoy all the things that have come my way since my surgery... fitting into non strecth jeans,buying non wide width shoes, shopping at walmart,fitting properly in my truck,fitting in the bathtub, and sitting in a booth at a resturant and not getting stuck!!! fitting in a public bathroom stall without stradling the toilet to get in or out.. and so much more. relizing that a kids meal is a little too much to eat yep that is right too i used to eat two giant value meals and still be hungry yea i look at the amount of food now and think what the hell were you doing to yourself..
life with my family is so much more fun and enjoyable i am not afraid to go out with my man and not think he is embarssed by me now he lets other men know i am takin. he always did that before too but now its different.
Riding my horse again was a great moment I could fit in the saddle and not think i was gonna break her back. I can ride a bike again with my kids. I am looking forward to winter somewhat I am goin sledding with em even if it hurts damn it.
Don't ever think having this surg was a mistake cause it will save your life!!! it saved me and my family!!!!!
