53 Yrs Old, 5'4" 170, 34G to D with Lipo

Amazing. Kind, caring PS with a sense of humor and golden hands! I've had an upper bleph, breast reduction and lipo with him and his team, and I couldn't be happier. I'll be heading back to finish the job (back lipo) as soon as I can.

No pics today because I'm lazy. I've been MUCH more active, and some of the bloating (and actual fat from lying around, lol) has receded. It all feels great. Today I'm a little down, but I'm probably just tired from a huge week. I had shows two night in a row, and it took me over two hours to drive home last night/ this morning. I am still adjusting to the reality that I'm not a swimsuit model after my surgery, so I've been perusing my before shots. It's easy to forget how far we've come, and I can understand how people keep doing the next procedure, chasing the dragon. My issue now is really just excess weight. I'm just thicker than I'd like to be, and there's really nothing for it but to move more, eat less. I realize now I was using my boobs as both camouflage and excuse. Ah, well, one day at a time, one bite at a time.
My husband texted me last night to pick up some bottled water. Our water pump broke (we have a well) and no one was available until tomorrow, Monday. It's kind of a pain, what with hauling water from the lake to flush the toilets, but there's an upside. We decided to order in sushi and eat it on the pontoon - no dishes, and a beautiful, memorable evening. The boy is growing so fast, and eating his weight in food, so moments like this are more and more precious. I found myself trying to duck out of a picture because I was afraid I wouldn't like how I looked, so I had to have a little talk with myself. In twenty years, I'll be glad I have that picture, and I'll wonder what the hell my problem was for not wanting to take it.
Wishing you all amazing recovery, or surgery, or run-up to surgery. Self-esteem issues aside, It's the best decision I could have made. xo

So yesterday I took an hour long walk in the hills, and then swam over a kilometer in the lake. I felt amazing! It's now been 7 weeks and I feel like I can do anything. My clothes don't really fit (nor do my bras) so I'd love a wardrobe overhaul. I think, instead of spending a lot on new clothes, I'll get a stylist friend to come in and do my closet. I can donate what doesn't work, including all my boulder holders, and put outfits together from what I already have. Maybe I'll need a few pieces that work with my new frame, and one or two bras, but not a lot. I still want to get the back fat sucked out, so my body will shift yet again. I kind of think it'll end up happening next summer, although I'd like to do it sooner. Recovery time, though...
Weird little things have changed, like how a necklace hangs, or the proportion I need in jewelry now vs before. It's not like I wear a ton of jewelry, but it's noticeable. These are the little inconveniences of this procedure, but they are LITTLE inconveniences. Totally worth it.
