So the pain is gone, but the general "I don't feel quite normal" is still hanging around. Things are healing well and I am happy with all but the boobage. He did a FABULOUS job, but with the reconstruction from my crappy breast reduction and the lack of tissue/thin skin issues...he had alot to fix. He did well, but I don't think he will be done. He places them higher than normal initially for WLS patients because we tend to drop more than the normal person. But I guess my body disagrees, because they won't quite drop all the way. They look fine in clothes, but nekkid you can tell. Not terrible, but I paid too much to not have them perfect! He said he can adjust that in office, but I am dreading being cut on again at all. Overall, things have gone as well as could be expected for doing so much at once.I am not tracking my eating anymore and playing it by ear. That is dangerous, because I seem to be splurging daily now. The difference is that I still make sure to eat generally healthy stuff and even the splurges are in tiny amounts. I would have had an entire bag of chips before, but now it is just 6 or 7. My body seems to be ok with it so far, but as I get further out I will have to watch carefully in case it starts to absorb more calories. I don't think my calories are high even with the splurges though, so all should be fine. I watch the scale like a hawk though!
I am sooooo lucky to have made it this far...I almost feel like it is too good to be true. I worry something (like me) will comprimise my success somewhere down the road. But even if I gained half of my weight back I would still be healthier and thinner than I can ever remember being. I would have been guaranteed a short life span and a life riddled with health issues had I NOT done this. So, even if it doesn't last forever, I bought some precious, healthy, happy time living life. I guess time will tell.
