Vim,
What an incredible post! Thank you! I'm only having my op in May so have a looong dreadful wait, but in the meantime am trying to round up as much info as I can. Please keep posting with your ongoing experiences - even if you think it's "uneventful" - the smallest thing could be something big for someone else!

Thanks again...

An

Dear Vim,

I think we are thinking on the same wave length re-christmas etc. I decided that once i'd booked the opp that i would not worry too much about what i ate from then on (within reason). Im planning to enjoy my last christmas feast!! It's funny that you mentioned doing a bulk cook-off, as ive taken three days off work prior to the opp so i can do exactly that. I seem to be spending all my spare time searching the net for good low fat, protein rich soups etc. My mother is giving me a Jack Le Lannes smoothie/juicer for christmas which is the bees knees in juicers, and im buying myself a pink smeg fridge freezer in the sales for all my ice cube sized meals! I do believe im actually begining to look forward to the journey ahead...

With regard to the permanet makeup eyeliner, depending on your age, skin type and your sunbathing lifestyle it normally lasts around 2 - 5 years. Im lucky to work very closely with some top cosmetic surgeons and scientists, and after alot of research i launched a new pigment two years ago that lasts indefinitely.

Thank you for your compliments, but I dont feel very beautiful at the moment. You wont believe it but that photograph was only taken in april this year, i think i was about size 10 then and im a 20-22 now. Over the last two years i have actually lost and gained over 17 stone. I think working within the beauty industry puts alot more pressure on me to be 'visually perfect' whatever that means. I dont particually care that much because i have been modelling doing bits on TV, i figured i cant be that bad if they still ask me back!! The decision to have the opp is because of my health, i had liver failure due to gall stones just over three years ago. Plus i hate the fact i cant paint my toe nails anymore... :-)

Looking forward to chatting to you again soon.

Olivia.

Ps. That food shop in kensington is fab! Did you ever go to the Babylon Roof Garden restaurant? Its the one thing i shall miss the most after my opp.
