T the change from your profile pic (you were still a stud) to now (you are now a stud muffin) is incredible. so proud of you. i cant whistle but i can do alittle nc hoe down for you whoop whoop

Oh my, you are looking good in that biking outfit! Great job. and those wolf whistles from your wife are well deserved!

in the words of rupaul (and your super fantastic blog), if we cant love ourselves. how the hell can we love anyone else. can we get an amen in the house

Isn't nice that you can go to a store and not worry it is not going to fit or have to go to a plus size for (women) or big & tall or larger size specialty stores . good for you and if you, your wife ,kids and band(mistress) are giving you the bells & whistles sort of speak then keep on keepin on biking and doing what you do I know you are feeling good .

Looking good in the lycra! Keep up the good work!

I have to admit, seeing the look on my boyfriend's face whenever I buy something he likes is ALMOST as much fun as actually buying it. You look great btw!

excellent place to put it...well wrote and loved it

That emotional part sounds just like me. We are so used to "stuffing in", now we have to face it. Hang in there and I hope you recover quickly!

Hey Jen..... Love your post and can relate to a lot of it. I also looked in the mirror and saw a pretty average looking woman. Growing up i was always a small kid. after my second son i lost all the weight i gain (a whole whopping 35lbs) So yes i delivered via section at 135lbs... omg... looking back now... i thought i was huge back then. Anyway, so that was section #2 and the final one. I would say that LB was not even in the same ball park. my LB surg was so pain free. Most uncomfortable for me was the gas pain after. I equate my TT as being the same as the Sections. LB was like the hysterectomy and the gallbladder surg. back to the subject... I too looked in the mirror and still thought i looked good, until i saw a picture and didn't recognize myself. I was horrified.....How, when, what did i do to my self. How and the hell did i go from 100lbs to 223lbs... it seemed like over night. So i had the LB done nov. of 09 and i have not looked back. The first few months were hard.. i won't lie. I was thinking that i would have the surg and whammm bammm .. i would wake up skinny. Surprise... nope didn't work that way. So i got my ass in the gym and started working out... and low and behold... the weight kept coming off...Slow, but it was going away. The first year i lost 60lb and the second 20.... i have been about the same for a while now.... i did put back a few since my hubby lost his job only because he is 6'4" and can eat anything... Ohhhh FYI: I too carry a lot of weight in my chest... I started at a 44H bra... and 80lbs later.... im only a 36G... So don't count on them all going away. if in the past you have lost in the boobs... then maybe there is hope for you. But every time i lost weight in the past... boobs always was the last too go... Go in with a positive out look, keep telling your self.... Self, i will do this... I will do this... I will do this..... And you will. All the best too you...

My surgery went very well I did not have any problems. The surgery itself only took 1 hour. I just did everything the doc said and all was well. The only problem I had was after my first fill I got stuck real bad and was slimming and vomiting but it was my fault. I had microwaved chicken and that is a no no, and for some reason it slipped my mind. Other than that everything is good. The waiting was the hardest part for me . It'll be here before you know it. ~~~Stephanie
