I'm doing well, keeping the weight off. I'm not skinny, but I'm shaped up much nicer. People have noticed. I will probably have a reversion on the abs. My Plastic surgeon offered me that, as I mentioned before. I like my legs now, he put all his efforts in them I believe. I still have a little bit of cellulite way high up on my backs of my thighs. But I can still wear a shorter skirt, that's a nice plus!!! My breasts are too fat. I won't go for breast reduction though, but I will let him take some fat out on the sides..I hate the breast buldge. So I have photos. Be kind, I am 61...but haven't given up. I still want my figure back. So I will keep up with the gym as I have for a year and a half. And I am enjoying it also. I feel great if I exercise. So wishing all my Real Selfers a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!! Stay healthy!!!

Looking great there lady!!! Keep up the good work. I will see my PS again in November and if there is any remaining scar tissue, he will inject with steroids which will break this area up and dissolve. It is going down by the day (area around belly button) and I am working out the abs hard at the gym - I've been doing at least 2 hours at the gym 4-5 days a week - 3-5 miles on the treadmill, 30 minute weight circuit and 20 minutes on abs - ugh, but you can definitely see my changes - getting arm, shoulder, chest and leg muscles rock hard and abs are coming along. Have a wonderful Labor Day!!!

Thank you..I'm trying..still have stomach woes. But I have irritable bowel issues, they come about once every 4 mo. for a couple of days then they gone. I have to stay away from certain foods, and no coffee!!! I just read exercise is good for it, so I went swimming. It worked..but returned after I ate:(( but it does blow up my stomach like crazy!!!! I'll take photos when it's over. Only way I can tell I'm toning is my clothes get looser, even though the scale won't show a lot. Weathers getting beautiful here in NY. We had a very humid hot summer, but tons of fun. Enjoy your work outs!!!!

I, too, have IBS, but with constipation - I take a probiotic every day or I'd be in trouble!!! It's way worse when I eat bread - have been tested for celiac disease, but it was negative - must just be sensitive to gluten. I know about the blown up stomach and the scale not budging, too!!! It was a very hot and humid summer here and now the rain has set in - yuck - love my golf - probably won't be golfing at all this week - that just means I'll be a gym rat - sometimes I feel like I'm a hamster on the wheel - lol!!! Enjoy your workouts, too - I'll be watching for your updates funny lady!!!

Two more days! Are you excited?!

Excited....mmmmmmmm...now I'm getting a little rumble in my stomach. I've been to my Primary Dr. for his signatures on my clearance. The Hospital was trying to Fax the blood test to my Doctor, and it wasn't going through....wwwwwwwhat???? The nurse in my Primary Dr.'s ,is kind of spazzo!!!! But good, she just gets going on so many things at once, and starts babbleing. So that was a delema, and my Dr. needed to review that blood work that they were trying to Fax. The nurse even handed me the office phone to try & call..ha! Well, I'd call and ask for surgery clearance dept. and there's a recording of entering your mail box. So finally I went up to the counter at Dr. Office and the clerk said here it is, are you "my name" so we're set. New Yorkers can really be kind of rough around the edges..they are so nervous and overwhelmed that they totally loose thier composer!!! Seriously!!! Everywhere in this Metro area of NY and Long Island, they speak what's ever on thier mind, never minding their manners!! In this office anyway. My PS's office is wonderful, they're friendly, and have the utmost composure. (Of course, as should be, it's elective surgery...right?? I hate confusion added to my stress. So tonight I shall get the hell out of here and go swimming with the girls!!!! Damn I need some fun!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!

Thanks Makeitup, I will try to post as soon as I can. I won't be really afraid until the Surgeon walks in behind the curtain. Reading review last night of some younger woman, how she had such large breasts, and then when she woke up after her surgery, looking at her smaller breasts, is the thoughts I will keep. I want my smaller breasts back that I always had:)

Didn't know you were going through this Inspector Cruse 59 - wishing you the best always!!! Keep us updated.

You are 61!!!! You look great! I thought you were 20 years younger. Regardless of any work you have had done, you really should feel great about how you look because even if you were 40 years old, I would still think you look great.

Good luck today! Positive waves coming your way!!

I think you had quite a journey and hope you are feeling fit now. How are the leg cramp issues doing? That concerns me because I basically have same frame as you before the surgery and I am ten years older---Im not heavy , go to gym , just have the exact issues that you had pre-op, my flanks, lower abdomen. I want to have this done in October.

The leg cramp issue was very early in the game, it was from over doing walking/being on my feet too long too soon after the surgery. I think if you read it was 5 days after surgery. But the plastic surgeons never responded to my question I asked until like 2 mo. after the fact, in fact another one just responded again..like a week ago. Pffffff!! Actually it was very normal to feel the ache in legs the 1st. mo. or even the 2nd. mo. a little....you swell if you over due anything in the 3 mo. after the surgery..hence the ache. I'm over 5 mo. my legs never ache now. They haven't ached at all in over 2 mo. If your a healthy 70 yr. old..and you exercise regularly you should be fine. You will have pre-op tests done...ekg's blood tests a whole work up to see if you qualify as a good canidate.

I love these Fablectics crops. They are shorter for summer. I am still considering doing Lipo on under arm, but I haven't made an appointment with Plastic S. I hated them from the beginning!! Late Fall is good for me, if I do anything. We shall see. Hoping my Dr. offers to do ab reversion, it needs more. I will make my appointment soon to see him in Sept. But just enjoying my summer now. Take care out there in Real Self land!!

You can't teach an old dog new tricks!!! Lol!!! Need some of your tough cookie fight in me!!!! You rock girl!!!!!!!! I'm not gaining but I'm not losing!!

I think you look wonderful!!! I just joined planet fitness last week - walking on the treadmill 4.2 MPH for 1 hour, 30 minute weight circuit, then ab machines, hydrotherapy bed and then their vibration/light machine. Doing everything in my power to flatten the gut and get my BMI down - it is 21 percent now. My weight is still the same - just need to tone what I have!!! Keep up the good work and I will, too!!!

I got to google those machines, I know we don't have any vibration/light machine? Hydrotherapy bed?? I do the weight circuits, I'm not a treadmill girl, the cardio I get is in the pool. I should though, burns fat, but sometimes aggravates my spine problems. I'm all for building muscel with Pilates, which has been tough lately I am on Crestor, it can make your feel weaker, and make muscels ache, but I plug along. Never use to be a problem before the Crestor, hoping it goes away. I mainly feel it in the thighs, where I didn't before..mmmmm? Side effects suck!! My gut would flatten more, if I would eat less. What the heck is the matter with me lately? Maybe the Crestor makes me hungrier??? Upset with myself!!!! I'll defiantly have to have that damned reversion, my tummy looks puffy. Keep up the good work, I envy your stamina!!!!

I just googled the hydrotherapy bed and vibration light therapy, nice!!! They would do a body good for lymphmatic drainage!! We defiantly don't have them at out fitness club. We have 2 pools..ones a therapy pool, heated & a lap, we have hot tubs and saunas. Tons of weight machinery and many classes to participate in. Enjoy your gym, they are worth every penny!!!!
