Hi guys and gals.. I know it's been awhile.. life has been hectic. I had an operation on Tue to take care of most of my upper body, breast lift, arm reduction and side tuck. I am still in a lot of pain but I am getting by.
Somethings that were wows to me were.. I went on an airplane 3 weeks ago to go to a funeral and I was SO afraid I would not fit in the seat.. it's a silly thought I know but I still feel like the fat woman who wont fit. I sat in the seat and just laughed to myself... there was lots of room!
My uncle did not know who i was.. he stuck out his hand to great me and acted very strange when I huged him.. about 5 mins passed and he said.. oh my gosh, April? lol Seems odd to look so different family does not know you.. but wow.
When walking through a store and some guy looks at you.. and follows you.. its not because you look like the big fat pig it actually might be because he wants to ask you out!

more wows for me..
Driving long distance is SO MUCH better when smaller.. you can actually sit indian stlye in the seat or pull your legs up to your chest and its so comfy!! I didnt know these things! lol
I hope those new will see hope and those old will remember the wows.. because all these new life moments mean more then we realize. All of this just keeps pushing me to be healthy and try harder.
I will post some pre op and post op pics of my upper body lift soon. Hope all are doing well!!
Oh and yes... after a year I did dump.. on all things, CHILLY! why, I have no idea but it was not nice and not pretty.. I dont know if I ate it too fast or the place put sugar in it.. no idea but ouchie
