Im on a (nut, seed, meat, raw veggie, light fruit) Paleo Diet. My baby is now 6 months so I signed up that the gym with child care services. I start tomorrow. =D

First off. I considered going to the Dr.....uh.. I cant remember his name even. Anyway I paid the consult fee and as usual I could hardly stand to be in his presence. At that time i heard of Cardenas through browsing this site. I loved the enthusiasm of her clients. I needed dental work and was going to TJ anyway so I made an apt for a free consult. :) If you go for a consult Ill tell you what I did. I walked over. Which there is a trolley that goes through SD right up to the border. Then I caught a Taxi and told them to go to Zona Rio. Calle De Heros and Diego Rivera. It should cost $4 I give them a $5. Maybe Im getting ripped off but I was told that was about right.

I also might I add first had a consult at the same place I was to receive my dental called Hospital Jerusalem. It was awkward they seemed dumbfounded and confused by my request for a consult. I left there went straight to Cardenas. Nice area. Business people dressed to the hilt walking along the sidewalks. Its somehow comforting to be in Mexico and have everyone dressed nicer than you are. I ended up finding the best dentist Ive ever had next door. I had my work done there instead. I was convenient to hit both places at once for apts bloodwork, results ect.

Today, 4/27/13 11 weeks PreOp I transferred the $500 deposit from my Chase acct to her Chase acct. Easy as Pie.

Holy Crapola! S-Day in now MAY 17th!! I called to see how soon I could get on a plane home. I would be leaving my baby with my sister just dont think I could be away from him for a week. Much less the 2 weeks they recommended. Plus I breatfeed. My boyfriend has a 9 day vaca from work May 19th-27th. They told me they had a cancellation for the 17th of May. Thats in 17 days!!! This way he can come and bring the baby a few days. Yay

I need to get mentally prepared and organized fast. Down side is I'd hoped to loose more weight before the surgery. :/ Working out 1.5 hrs a day as well as healthy eating. Well see what can pull off. 5-10 lbs maybe?

They advised not to take certain supplements.E, A or Omegas. Guess ill quit all supplements. I wonder if a wholefood muli would be ok.

Another thing. after my C-section I was in a hospital bed for days. Then when I got home I sat constantly nursing and holding the baby. I developed some sort of bruising on my tailbone. More than 5 mo later Its still VERY sore if i sit too long on anything hard. Now, here I go again. Ive heard of sore backs after TT what about tailbones anyone?

Would love to meet others who will be having a TT around the same time.

12 days to S-Day. For my birthday recently my boyfriend bought a gift card to a high end dress shop. He wanted me feel catered to and have a ball trying on dresses. Unfortunately it was more embarrassing than fun. They just wouldnt fit!! The poor lady tried so hard to zip me up too. I went home empty handed.
Soooo now that i know im def having the surgery, I went online and bought the 2 dresses i really wanted before they sold out.
Wait there is more. ;) I also purchased my wedding dress online and it should be here any day. Im sure i will have to have them altered but thats ok. So excited!!
