I have read and enjoyed the posts. I am very excited. I am having lipo with a tuck. I am 5'5'' and weigh 170. I have been in really good shape most of my life, running 1/2 marathons until about 3 years ago. Husband died, menopause kicked in, and my coping skill is eating. I changed things around, work-out almost everyday and eat healthy. Lost about 20 pounds and have been stuck for the last year. Got remarried and new hubby said to go for it! Excited. Not really scared at all. (yet!) Would love to hear any suggestions from those who have been through it. Any tips for getting into the miracle suit with the drains? Will appreciate any advise. Thx. XO

Well, I am almost ready! Bought a recliner, washing sheets and comforters today, took off all nail polish, stocked all my comfort (healthy) foods. Bought a couple of really cute aprons with big pockets. Hoping this will cover my breasts and hold my drains while around the house. Also got 3 terry cloth bathing suit cover ups that zip all the way and have pockets. I am worried about all the steps in my house and how to carry things up and down. They should be easy to get off and on and I should still be able to hold onto the hand rail. I have pre-tied a comple of long summer scarves that my husband can just slip over my head. I have also have taken everything I think I may need for the 1st week down for the higher shelves and placed them on the counters so I won't have to reach. I want to get some photos today, but as a girl closer to 60 than to 50, I am unsure how that works. Any suggestions are welcome. XO

Well, Friday is the big day. I am still not nervous. I am trying to look at the recovery period as forced spa time. I intend to treat the age spots on my face with the cream I bought months ago and never take the time to use, grow my eyebows back, (overplucked in the 70s), treat the fungus on my big toe and read the trilogy of 50 Shads of Grey, which I have also had for months. I am still worried arout the stairs and considering going down on my butt like a kid. May practice that today. More later. XO
