Hey girls and boys! Gather on around while I fill you in on what life is like at almost 7 months post opt!! WHOOOO HOOOOO 7 MONTHS! And guess what my swelling is GONE! I never thought I would be able to say that but it's true. I may swell just a little in the evening or when I really go over board with the salt but overall I am flat! This upcoming summer is the first time I have ever looked forward to shedding my clothes.....well I take that back because I still have big, ugly man feet and I cringe at the idea of flip flops! But the last I checked there's no surgery to correct being born with feet like Rupaul so I will just continue to deal with that flaw! I still think this was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I still encourage anyone that's on the fence to hop on over to the flat lands. It's fab, it's liberating, it's sexy and it's free! OK I'm lying it can be pricey but so what if you have to eat hot dogs for a year and dye your own hair with peroxide you are worth it. So just go for it! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! Well I have to get back to studying now so til next time my loves!

Hey love's! I have a story to tell..... today as I was sitting at my desk pretending to work I suddenly had a burning sensation on my left side. It started off slow and grew more intense after a few seconds until I literally jumped up from my desk and started jumping up and down. My co worker's came running to see what was wrong with me and all I could think to say was "did someone just tase me"? Of course the answer was NO but it sure felt like it. My nerves are starting to awaken even more but it's never felt like this! Ay yi yi! LOL! But from my research and doctor's advice this is normal and this too shall pass. Now how bad was it? Well have you ever been bit by a toddler? If so it didn't hurt nearly as bad as some kid chomping on you with newly formed sharp teeth but it got my attention. However it ended just as fast as it stared and was located around my incision. Is anyone else having twinges and creepies?

OK so here are my latest pictures at 20 weeks 3 days. I was inspired to post by two other lovely ladies that also happen to be from Team Tattelbaum....they blew me away with their recent results! I hate to say it but I want lipo in my back and I am holding weight in my midsection as usual. I think it's only a matter of time before I go back to Dr. Tattelbaum for a lipo party! BUT I AM HAPPY WITH M Y RESULTS! I am thrilled and I am proud to show you most recent pics! So there you have um ladies!

Love you all!

Love ya, love ya, love ya! Life does get so busy...so true. I was so happy to see your post from a few days ago. Glad you're doing so well. I'm 20 wks as well (remember...we had the same surgery date). I remember telling you that I felt great but my weight redistributed a little and I now have "muffin top". So...after Thanksgiving I went back to the gym religiously. Tightened up my diet and was doing well. A week ago my mom landed in the hospital. Wasn't able to go to the gym once after being used to going 4-5 times a wk. Diet went to crap. Moms okay. She dodged a bullet. Was having tightness in chest. Went the did A cauterization they found she was 99% blocked. Threw two stents in . Now better than ever. Just a bit of depression. I'm workin on that . So...needless to say I have to get back to more regular/ try to lose the pooch routine. Not sure why I'm not losing weight. I actually gained albs since surgery. Don't get me wrong. I do look good but I still had 20-30 lbs too lose. Oh well. Gotta run...need to go grab a cup of joe and a vanilla cream donut from Dunkin. ONLY KIDDING. Lol. Take it easy Cherrybabi. Love ya girl. XXOO

Hey Lulee! I love you but sometimes I hate realself! LOL! I responded back to you with a long/lovely response and it didn't post! GRRRRRR! So I will try again. I am so very happy to hear that your mom is doing well, I know that was a huge stress and it took your full attention so I am glad that you are able to relax now as well. As far as the TT my upper abs are starting to relax which is something my doc warned me about. I hold fat in my tummy so I will never ever be super duper flat :( But for you my love I know that you can get rid of that 20-30 lbs although I am sure you look fantastic! :) It is hard staying on track but you can do this! I BELIEVE IN YOU LULEE! LOL! And I love ya but I gotta run.... for some strange reason I want a vanilla cream donut from Dunkin! LOL!

Haha! No really, you look amazing! I had lipo. Dr. T removed 6 lbs of fat from my flanks and back. He is so great!

January 22, 2013
I plan to go back later this year and get lipo on my back! I'm going to talk to the good doc on the 5th about it. I love that man and I know he will tell me the 100% truth concerning his feelings on my decision!
January 22, 2013
That is the truth. He is a kind yet straight talker. ;-) I may like to do some lipo on my thighs. I'm going to give myself another year or so of healthy eating and exercise to see what I can do on my own. Sometimes fat is stubborn though, unless you starve yourself. Which I'm not interested in doing. As well, Dr. T is the man b/c he told me day of my surgery when I was upset from not losing more weight that he was happy with my weight b/c I was in a healthy range. That was really comforting to me. We are always hardest on ourselves.

January 22, 2013
YES! He's a straight shooter he will not blow smoke up your rear end that's for sure. That is why I value his opinion because I know he want string me along. When I got my TT I had also wanted a BA and Dr. T was like...ummmmmm no. And he walked me through all the reasons why he was against it and he gave me time to think about it and I weighed my options and went with his advice and it was the best decision so I am very eager to hear his opinion on me getting lipo! LOL! This should be fun!

January 22, 2013
Thank you Usmc! I can relate I was a duffle bag of nerves before my surgery! I couldn't even sleep the night before. But you will be OK! Dr T will take exceptional care of you....before and after your surgery! But I am glad I am able to inspire you....SEE THIS IS WHAT I MEAN! Skinnywaist and WildOrchids inspired me today and in return I was able to inspire you. PAY IT FORWARD! I LOVE IT!
