Oh goodness, Yesterday was a VERYbusy day. I went back to work,went for my 2 week post-op appointment, and attended a party. I also slept sooooooooo good last night. As for my checkup, the tape was changed again, and I was told that I am healing very nicely. I have been given the okay to start walking upright instead of like an old lady. I can also start with light cardio.....whatever that is. So another appointment is scheduled for next week to start my after photos. I really need tone eating better foods so I will look great in my pics. So if I can stop smoking for 2months, then Icansurely get back on my diet hardcore. Wish me luck! Bythe way.....I wore jeans yesterday!

I have spoken to a few of doctors in LR, but Dr. Yee was by far the most down to earth and personable I have met. She has an EXTREMELY good reputation, and her credentials are out of this world. Dr. Yee's staff has also been so great calling me and checking to ensure my question are answered. They have also been so supportive regarding my efforts to stop smoking.

Hey girl! I researched your doctor for a friend of mine that lives in Jacksonville. I was EXTREMELY impressed! If I was still stationed in Little Rock she would have been my first pick!
She is an artist for sure.....and to think she chose medical school! Soooo very glad she did.
Hoo-ray! Jeans? What are those? Mine wouldn't button even wth the torture corset on. I think I must visit Old Navy for some low cost size 8's. I go back to work Monday. Is your job a sitting one? I see my Doc, again, tomorrow and hopefully he will give me the ok for "light cadio" as well. I won't see him again for two weeks so hoping. I get the diet thing. Trying but there are some serious sugar binge days and who knows about weight? Can't tell what's real. I think overall, we were lucky and did pretty well here Mrs. P. Some folks are really struggling and even though I know we are still early in recovery, I feel blessed. Glad you are doing so well.
Hi, you haven't posted in a week and I'm wondering how you're doing??
What did you do to take care of your incisions and belly button? On Friday, I will be 4 weeks post op and I feel like I am not healing fast enough and I wasnt given much info or even great post op instructions!
mspsychoman-miss you! hope all is ok!

Hello ladies....how is everyone doing today? For...

Hello ladies....how is everyone doing today? For me, I'm not so sure. There is A LOT going on in my brain today. First, I have to admit that I have done a VERY bad thing. I put on a hormone patch last night. I was not supposed to do that until Monday, but I did it anyway. The constant fluctuation of internal temp was just getting to be too much, especially when the zingers are creating more hot flashes for me. Also, I have been feeding my face all the bad things that I KNOW I shouldn't. You know chocolate milkshakes, chocolate brownies, Mac & cheese, etc. I haven't eaten these things in nearly a year. What the heck is going on? So there is my confession of what I've done. Now, the things I haven't done, but have thought about....SEX. OMG, I have been thinking about it nearly non-stop over the past several days. I would LOVE to jump my hubby's bones until he begged for mercy. I even tried to get hubby on board with the idea, but that man has got some willpower. It must have carried over from his first marriage since he said they only had sex once or twice per year. anyway, I guess I should be glad that at least one of us is making sure I follow post op instructions otherwise I could be putting myself at risk for developing seromas and other issues associated with complications from being to active too soon. I have also been jonesing for a cigarette today. Again, this has been on the brain, but I HAVE NOT smoked. A few days ago I was so glad that I haven't been smoking, but today I'm thinking about it. Thankfully I'm too chicken s*** too go against doc wishes or else I'd probably be firing up right now. One more thing, I haven't been cleaning or anything.....really trying to follow my doc instructions, but this family of mine needs to do a LIL better on cleaning cuz this house is also getting on my last damn nerve. Confessions....y'all got any you want to share?

LMAO! It's all good!
I love it! Wish I had your willpower regarding food. As for the rest of it....it's all good! Enjoy the hotness!
@tjuana I LOVE your confessions! I have the same thoughts running through my mind!
You're so vain.. you probably think this post is about you... LOL!!! Gawsh I cannot WAIT to be on the other side of the fence!
I had the smoking thoughts too-before and since the surgery. Not hardcore, fleeting thoughts and I would NEVER, but curious since I haven't had them in 2 years. Sex-eh...BF, and he doesn't live with me so not so difficult. I did go to Target today (drove) and was there for 2 hours looking for cheap, baggy clothes since my size 6's won;t be fitting for a while. My cravings come and go and I DO have a killer sugar addiction but not so much. Met a friend at Einstein's and had a bagel and a large coffee for unch. After this email checking, a serious long nap cause I'm whipped. I'm bored to tears and that may be part of it-boredom.
I hope the appetite is due to boredom. I return to work Monday. Even working from home I am usually to busy to think about food. I just don't want to ruin the progress I made prior to surgery.
@msrubi at least you went out. Good for you!!
I don't stay put very well-lol. I didn't nap either- a friend came by and then I went to Whole Foods.
Luv ur confessions!!! Yes my number one confession I AM A FAT ASS!!! I love to eat and find myself obsessing over food. Trying very hard to control my appetite by eating fruits n veggies but damn how many apples and carrots can u eat LOL!!!
It's a learning or re-learning process. I love my goodies but replaced my artificial sugar cravings with fruit-all fruit. I don't have a good fruit/bad fruit high GI , blah-blah. Pineapple, melons. grapes, apples (one a day!), bananas, oranges, name it. Whole foods aren't bad for you even if you over indulge on them a little. But cookies are and the artificial/added sugar will slam the fat back on your body faster than anything.
it's true... after awhile, you'r body starts to crave fruits and veggies and eventually even fruit will be 'too sweet' Usually it takes me 3-5 days to detox my body from sugar/processed foods. I am an advocate for clean eating. I totally think it's helping me heal, too!
That's right sister!!! Anything ur body doesn't recognize gets stored as fat. And sugar is one of them!

I know that I was blessed with a set of ta-tas that a lot of women pay good money to get, and I'm not saying that to be boastful or arrogant . I have always had a love hate relationship with my breast because I was either young and embarrassed by their size or overweight and did not appreciate them because I was big all over. Today I took some more pictures......all without my clothes on. Just getting the usual updated shots of the work that was done. I also decided to put on clothes today....you know, something other than pj pants. I know it isn't much of a step up, but I put on yoga pants and a tshirt. HOLY COW! Look at that....I have a little waist and big boobs. My shape is EXACTLY what I dreamed of all these years. My boobs are awesome! Dr. Yee is wonderful and I am so very grateful I found her.
