Congrats! I wish I could get the tummy tuck done - maybe one day. As someone whose weight fluctuates, my best recommendation to you is to start doing some minor exercise asap and get your diet back on track, because we both know how hard it is to lose weight once the first few add back on. You have done such an amazing job getting to this point! Don't lose that momentum now!! For me, it's portion control. I'm 56 and eat like I did in my 20's and my metabolism can't keep up... I know it, yet seldom remember to keep it in check. You look great - now get to the gym :) I'm heading there shortly :)

PL'ie thank you! I appreciate the pat on the back and the kick in the bum! ... lol. I started to log in my food in MyFitnessPal again. That helps me stay on track and REALLY see how many calories I've consumed. It's a reality check when I don't think I was "that bad". That's a start. Now, it's the workout part. Honestly, I enjoy working out, it's just that my day is so busy sometimes that I don't make an extra effort to make time. AND... I'm too lazy to wake up at 430-5AM like I used to (smh)...

You are looking fabulous! Weight is a constant battle! Try just going for walks if you can or try something new! I am into kickboxing now! It's an amazing workout! Don't forget to hydrate! People forget how important water is!

Yes ma'am thank you! Water is life! Kickboxing sounds fun and painful!!! Lol. I'm trying the independent workouts (not really working) the YMCA classes (not organized and not schedule friendly) and lap swimming (too lazy to go swimming at 530am - AND make it back on time to get myself and the kids ready for school by 720 am). Seriously! What else can I do?

You could try running! I run on the days I don't kick box 3-5 miles! Running was the first exercise that helped me lose all my weight and I love it once I'm out there!! But two years ago I would have laughed at you if you had said I would be a runner one day!

Hello! I went MIA with my busy life. Here's a short update:

1. Feel about 90% myself. - tummy is still tight and back gets random stinging/burning sensation from lipo.
2. Gained 10# since surgery BUT still look WAY better than before. I see some back rolls creeping back. (Ugh)
3. Can't seem to get myself motivated to eat
Clean and back in shape (sigh*smh). I NEED A WORKOUT BUDDY!!! All my peeps are gone! (Wah!)
4. I'm a size 14-16
5. Breast 38 DDD or 40 DD (yay!)
6. Scars are healing but look yucky! I emailed De. Hughes and he recommends BioCorneum. I'll buy that next paycheck.

That's it for now. Feel free to message me or leave a comment. TTYL! Xoxo

Update on erupting stitch

User Avatar

Negrura24
Went this morning at the crack of dawn. Dr. Hughes was right! It was an erupting stitch making it's way out very slowly and painfully! It took some digging to find it and it hurt!! He did use lidocaine which was helpful for the cutting but the pulling was the worst. Thank God he found it because it was it was pretty big. He said sometimes they are hard to locate and he doesn't like to make a large cut because it may lead to other complications. I didn't get a chance to take a pic of it (pain makes me forget things.. Lol). But, I did take pics after. It was gross, a lot of liquid came out (still draining..ugh) and some pus. He said that was normal. He said I didn't need to go on antibiotics but to keep an eye on it and change the dressings often to keep it dry. So, once again, I have an opening that needs to heal on its own :( I have to be patient and take it easy peasy for a little while longer.
Happy healing to me!!! :)

Hi! I haven't massaged them but I will. Only makes sense... They don't hurt but they sure feel gross! I'm up 10 or so pounds since surgery (woops!) but today is my 1st day back to work and I'm doing my paleo cleanse and back to business! I'm looking forward to the gym so that I can stop feeling like a sloth.. Lol! I still look good considering the weight gain BUT I'm not stressing. I'll be just fine once I'm back in my routine:) ... I've missed you corky! Take care in that Arizona heat... Xoxo
