I Choose to Live and Live Life at Its Fullest - South Holland, IL

Ok, ladies, I did it. June 11th was the day and I know it has been a while and I have not posted. The reason being, I did not know what to say. This is major surgery and major pain. I am 12 days po and very uncomfortable. But I have to be honest, the TT is not bad and not the worse part. I also had lipo of the lateral thighs and that is pretty painful but manageable. The worst part of this whole thing is that I got a terrible rash on my vagina on backside. I got the rash because for the first three days after surgery I wash these areas with anti-bacterial bar soap which is something I never used before I only used dove soap. I guess I was not rinsing the soap well though the compression garment and the soap literally ate my flesh. The rash in conjuction with sitting and laying consistly, needless to say left me in alot of pain. It is now just getting better. I will post po pics soon. happy healing ladies.

Wow 35 more days until surgery. I am a nervous wreck. Last week I had no appetite this week I can’t stop eating. I had my second consultation with my ps last week and it went great. I may add a breast lift to my surgery; I am just waiting on my ps office to give me the good news I am hoping for. Fingers crossed. I think I have talked about this so much to everyone; everybody is tired of hearing about it. I feel really alone and I don’t think my husband knows how to be supportive.

I have so much other stuff going on right know. My oldest daughter is graduating from eighth grade and I need to get her all set and registered for high school. Her birthday is also the day before my surgery and I don’t want her to feel overlooked. Money is also a little tight right now, so I feel a little guilty spending this much money on myself.
Well, I’m going to start updating more I think this is very good for me. Happy healing to all the ladies on flat land and happy waiting to all with upcoming surgeries.

Well it’s done. Today I booked my surgery and paid my deposit. I am scheduled to have a full tummy tuck and lipo of my lateral thighs on June 11th. My pre-op is scheduled for May 28th, which is also my birthday. I can’t say that I’m exactly exited, I feel a little overwhelmed and a little disbelief. I still have to lose my last 10 lbs and of course it’s the hardest. I’m thinking about trying the HGC diet. Has anyone had any luck with it? 82 more days to go until I am on the other side. Happy healing ladies!
