Wow! Time has flown by.... My weight has stabilized at about 185lbs. My measurements are 36-32-36 and I wear a size 10-12. I've really enjoyed shopping at Victoria Secret and having to buy a medium!!!!! I'm looking forward to summer and rocking a new bikini I bought from there.

I still struggle with some body issues. Its mild but I definitely worry that I may return to my previous form. And funny enough its like I'm going to just wake up one day and be back in my old body lol

Hands down BEST decision I ever made! Now I am trying to decide if I want implants :D

Hey Albany!!!! I know I've been MIA for months myself. My life has changed incredibly. More on that later. I still want to take off 20 lbs too. Not really the lbs but I have areas that are not toned and I want to get more definition and less mushy parts lol :) its so good to hear from you. I'm excited to add pics but I only have my phone to use.

Quick update.... Drain 4 was pulled today! Yippee. My scars are looking fantastic. It really does look like he drew them on with a pencil. The infection is at bay and barring any return of symptoms I do not go back for 3 weeks. Yay! I do have to start massaging my drain sites. The infection left some pretty large lumps. The NP says massage will get rid of em. I'm a little nervous to start but I'll do it. Best part of it all...I got to shower. It felt great but was a little painful at the same time. The skin on my lower back and butt is sooooo sensitive. The water was really strange feeling. I also got to wear real clothes today. I wore a size 14 jeans and they were huge! How exciting. Even the nurse commented on my baggy butt. Best problem to have EVER =)

Nope, never smoked. I did have a really severe reaction to the tape and had large tape blisters that ripped open when the tape was removed from my front incision and drain sites. That is where I got the infection. It is gone now but I have some lumps that I have to massage out. From what I'm told its a result similar to a severe burn/sunburn that results in cellulitous. Thanks for the thoughts and I'm really doing great!

@ Mustangwine. I just read your whole Bio.. amazing you are!! Forgive my writing Im not a writer, I have never blogged before... other than this site I recently found... I love it. June 4th on your blog really touched me. I to recently moved from Hawaii to Canada with my Husband he also is always on the road in Aviation. I have decided to do a TT/ lipo and Ba on October 15.. I have asked him to help me for the first 3 days and then i think can do it on my own. My mother is in Hawaii as are all my friends and 1 son 22. I hope i have the stamina after 3 days to get through this with no complications. Thank you for sharing your story. I know Im not the only one out here that feels this way. Prayers to you.. Get well and see YOU on the other side soon:)

Ok, so I finally got a chance to add some photos. Now I'm wondering if we're limited on the number of pics we can post? I have 2 week updates but it looks like I can't add more photos at this time.
