Had final check up
WORTH IT
Well today I had my final checkup with my PS and I will miss him and his staff because they've been wonderful. I'm healing well and basically now it's just a matter of maintaining. I know I keep doing the same poses and seems like the same picture but I will post where I'm at now because it's almost 4 months post surgery. I'm very pleased with the outcome in this scar to be lightning quite a bit. Happy with my shape and I'm trying to love being in my new skin. Anyone that's been through massive weight loss can understand that mentally even though your body and the scale may look different your mind is still very much attached to being heavy. And I was heavy for so many years that I got used to being chubby and although I am very happy to have shed the weight I just I'm having a bit of a mentally hard time adjusting to being smaller. I definitely don't regret this surgery one bit it's just taking a bit longer for my mind too catch up with the changes. Here is my recent photo at 4 months post almost

Hopefully better scar photo
Okay so I lowered my underwear and I'm hoping that this picture you can see the incision line better . Also I wanted to show you how well the underwear covers it when I'm wearing it properly even though you've seen me an underwear a billion times at this point.

Waist/jeans update
So this is about 7 weeks post. These jeans are size smaller then my size pre-surgery. I am finding a little bit that it's becoming challenging to find jeans that fit around my waist but also accommodate my legs. Believe me I'm not really complaining I don't want anybody to think that I'm not happy in any way it's just something that I've had to figure out what brands of jeans I can wear and things like that. I need more space in my upper thigh area but after the surgery I'm finding I need a lot smaller waist. Needless to say I'm thankful for thrift stores not saying that's for everybody but it's for me. I've had so many clothing adjustments through this journey and I'm talking not just the surgery but I'm also talking the massive weight loss as well. You know I really can feel all sides of people's pain so for this I'm thankful. I know what it feels to be heavy I know what it feels to be fit and I know what it feels to be skinny. I know what it feels to be out of shape I know what it feels to be in shape. I can say though my mind hasn't quite caught up to where my body is so I still find myself avoiding looking at myself naked or Mirrors 2. I avoided these because I felt depressed. I'm slowly trying to accept everything and I am very happy with the results but I still get highs and lows with my moods regarding my body. I just thought I would share that

I also wanted to add that if you look at picture number 4 you can really see how dr. V was able to Define my waist. I'm really glad that I chose to have the liposculpture with the tummy tuck . I just think given my situation one or the other just would not have been enough .
I completely understand where you're coming from. In 2008 I lost 80 lbs, I went from a 16/18 to a 6/8. It took me forever to get my head wrapped around the fact that I was no longer the "fat girl". Give yourself time...it is definitely an adjustment. You look amazing!
Aww thanks very much for your understanding. It's really mental. Wow good for you to lose so much weight! I'm always amazed that we can do these things with our body. Definitely takes time to adjust in the mind. Have a great day n post some updates when you get your surgery.
I will definitely be posting updates after my surgery...only 4 more days!!!
Wow so close!!!! I'm excited for you. You must be anticipating it so much I know I was.
I am, but thankfully my anxiety has subsided, now I'm just ready to get it over with, and start the healing process.
Yes I know exactly what you mean. After a while you do just want to get it done with. I can't believe it's two months for me almost. It goes by pretty fast.
