Still a journey

Ok, I am so swollen and bruised! I just got on the scale and I'm 20 pounds heavier than before my surgery. I have my postop appt. tomorrow, so hopefully I will get some answers! I have been drinking water and pineapple juice and staying away from salt. I'm super worried! Any suggestions?

I am super excited and a little scared. Just made up my bed with my liner and chux pads. About to take my drugs and shower and head to the best surgeon ever.....Dr. J. I slept peacefully, now I ask that God be in control of my transformation through his man servant Dr. J. In Jesus name....it's spoken and if we touch on the subject and agree its done! Well my RS sisters I will see you on the other side......Muah!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Ladies. So my sx. is scheduled for Thursday, with my preop on tomorrow. I have had all kind of crazy thoughts in my head. I have been keeping myself busy by doing what I do best....shopping! I am sitting in bed now looking at all my postop supplies and comforts. I have 2 children so I have been busy trying to get them in order while I'm away. Ok, so I have had periods of extreme anxiety. My appointment was given to me quickly, so I have had to prepare myself mentally fast. My boyfriend is some timey! Some times he acts as if he is with this sx. and sometimes not! He told me tonight, he is not going to be able to come down til Friday night. So I will have one of my supportive besties accompany me! I have a couple of friends that think this is such a waste of money and is not a good example for my 12 year old daughter. It really hurts my feelings because I believe a friend should give their opinion and still be able to support without making you feel like you have issues! She is saying things to me, like who will take care of my babies if I DIE! JUST DO IT THE HARD WAY WITH EXERCISE AND DIETING! So all of that negativity have had me unable to sleep well and have me worrying like crazy. Not to mention thoughts of deformaties and people not being able to tell a difference. I have so much faith in Dr. J and even though my sx. was scheduled pretty fast after my consult, I have been wanting a big butt and a small waist for years! Anyways, I'm a stop ranting! On the other other positive side, which is where I am as a person 98% of the time is super excited! I have seen some amazing results! I am super excited and hope that all my RS Sisters will be in prayer for me as I embark on my body contouring transformation! I have recently lost about 40 pounds so I am definately going to have to tighten up some loose skin, which will require some hard work! I was told to gain 10 lbs, but I only was able to gain 5. I have seen many women smaller than me, who have made some amazing transformations. I am hoping for 850-900cc in buttocks, 200-250 in the hips, and a small waist line. Wish me luck and prayers, I will chat with you ladies soon...............
