Update and some wow's - ThinnerTimes

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

Hi.. yes I did go to Dr. Giles and I LOVED him and Shelly. They have been so great to me and I know when I am ready for my lower lift I will return. They gave me some good laughes before I went under and even took some pictures of all the skin they removed for me. 5 lbs worth! My left arm will need a little more work done but the right is fine.
Thank you thank you for telling me about him he was worth the money for sure

The surgery you are having done what is it? I thought I would be doing a lot worse then I am and after all I felt after the gbs I knew it would be so painful but.. it really is NOT so bad. Its a bit of pinching and discomfort for a few days. My breasts look weird to me and I keep looking at them thinking.. ok I hope my nipples dont end up looking like this! lol but over all its nice to actually SEE them and hold my arms up with no wings lol I went home after the op and just slept. Make sure you have someone who can take care of your needs for a few days.

Well I'm having an extended abdominoplasty and a breast lift/reduction. He will be doing an anchor incision along with muscle tightening. I suspect I will be out of comission for awhile. I know there will be no driving for 2 weeks and no lifting for 6 weeks. I also will need to be in the hospital for a couple of days.
