Hi everyone,
I am new here and on 23rd i will be getting my tummy tuck and liposuction. I am so excited.I have 3 kids, oldest is 26. I am 44 years old. I put on a lot of weight due to emotional issues, divorce etc. I also ended with hypo thyroid, which made me gain a lot of weight. I am only 5'3. i have yo yo dieted for the longest time. I also did HCG lost the weight and then put it all back on because i cannot resist food and off course everything that i eat sticks to me. I have changed my eating habits a lot and will continue to do that. I am now 148 lbs. I have a goal to reach before my 45th birthday in Dec. I will make it happen. I want to be 125lbs

For me this will be a life changing thing. Now that i have realized that food is not an answer to everything. I plan to loose at least 15 lbs to 20 lbs after my tummy tuck and liposuction. I also have a very low Hemoglobin is also very low only 10.8. I have Thalassemia minor so that is one big issue. I may need blood transfusion but i will avoid it. I am juicing and also eating liver...
I will post my photos soon.

I cleaned up my room today. made space for my lift chair. Yep, i am getting a lift chair. My bed is too high. I will also start my arnica tablets from tomorrow.
I also ordered my arnica cream from amazon. I need it for my liposuction. I am really excited and nervous. My friend keep telling me to wake up from my surgery lol... I will take epson salt on Monday so as to clean my guts. I guess i will start freaking out on Monday. I am also taking Turmeric with warm milk and honey to help me with swollen and iron.
will keep you guys posted. I love reading everyone,s post here. Have learned a lot as well.

So today was my surgery and here i am all dressed up to be wheeled to surgery and then they check my HGB and the surgery was canceled. what a bummer. My HgB went from 10.8 to 9 in just 5 freaking days. So no surgery for me. I had to see hematologist today and he took 10 vials of blood. On 23rd, i have to get IV iron and then 3 times more. The doctor will see if i will be up for surgery anytime soon. My husband was traveling and i wanted to have it done before he came back. My friend was supposed to take care of me. what the fudge. let see how long that takes. I need to start working and soon and i wanted to do this before starting my real estate work.
