It's been over a year since I blogged!

Jan 13, 2010

Hello OH family... sorry I have been so antisocial.  A lot has been going on in my world over the past year.  Some good, some bad, but life goes on right? 
I won't bogg down my blog with all my family and job stuff etc... just fill you in on me! 

Tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op from my mammaplasty, breast reduction/lift.  I honestly can't tell you what size I went from to what size I am now.  All I know is I owned about 3 or 4 38DD bras that I would stuff myself into and make work.  I know I was beyond that size, but not sure where you find F or G size bras, and I was always too embarrassed to look anyway.  The surgeon took over 500 grams of breast tissue/skin from each breast.  We are estimating I will be around a 38 C/D which is still buxom enough for me.  I have asked myself, "What have I done?" but I think we all question ourselves sometimes.  I am out of work recovering and most likely will go for my tummy tuck within the next 2 weeks.  Insurance covered my breast reduction, however will not cover the tummy.  So Merry Christmas to me for like the next 20 years, cause this TT has a pretty price tag!  
I am weighing 170.  Not that great, pretty much a plateau for the past year.  Looks like I was 173 at last Christmas.  But I am comfortable with my band, don't want a fill, I am at my sweet spot.  Dr says I have at least 9-10 pounds of loose skin, and we all know we can't do anything with that.  
Like I said, last year was a lot of "stuff" going on, one being a nasty injury, I tore the Iliac crest tendon on my right hip... talk about pain.  It was a good 4-5 months of healing, and to this day I sometimes feel a twinge of pain.  So lazily, I have been off the exercise train.  Time to pick up the poeces and try again.  I will use my treadmill slowly during my tummy tuck suregery recovery.  Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Anyway, Happy New Year to all of you!  Hope everyone is living life to the fullest!
Take Care, 
Kelly
