Ok! Quick update. I put that I was 3 weeks on that last update. No I was only two weeks post-op. This Wendesday I will be 3 weeks. So today is the first day I've worn a pair of jeans. I went to the goodwill and bought them special lol size 6!! Still swollen of course. Anyway I got some pictures. Check out the one with my husband in the background!!! Caught!! Checking me out! We were cracking up. Sneaky!!!

Elode, you look incredible! I'm so excited for you! Have you shown a before everything (pre weight loss) and a now side by side anywhere?

@@PissiChrissi Thank you! When you go to my actual profile I have a before and after on it. It's not the best before picture. I wish I had better ones but I HATED having my picture taken. I have one I can make but I had already lost 75 lbs by the time I took it so it's not a "real" before and after. When I go to my moms I will see if I can find some......there's this one. I was so proud of myself in that blue shirt! I had lost the 75 lbs and thought I looked really good little did I know I'd lose another 50.

First day back to work was wonderful! Everyone was so helpful. One of my nurses came up and grabbed my hips saying " soooo tiny!!" It was cute. The only "problem" I'm having is my medium scrubs look ridiculous on me. Luckily I have a couple pairs of small & extra smalls that fit nicely. It felt so nice to get out of the house and socialize with ADULTS. It was also nice not stuffing my face all day laying in bed!

@@CowgirlJane I never realized how painful they could be until I did some reading of stories. I won't get to stay in the hospital but she did give me a script for 4 mg dilaudid which if you didn't know is an extremely powerful narcotic. Stronger than morphine so I'm a little scared of it. She gave me 50! Plus Xanax for anxiety, antibiotics, nausea meds & muscle relaxers. I think I'm going to be knocked out!

Dilaudid is the best post op med ever.

You look ABSOLUTELY amazing! I have my consult on May 17th. If you would inbox me pics of the lift, I would be interested in looking! I don't want implants, but a lift.. Which procedure did you have for the lift?

Elode you look great but you're a nurse right. You should not need that many Ds. As you know it's prescription H so please be careful. As far as I know it is THE most addictive stuff on earth. Why not perks of you're in pain?

@@FocusOnMeNow - I think you misunderstood somewhere. She stopped taking pain meds on day 3. It's a long post, so I am sure you just missed that part.

@@FocusOnMeNow I'm done with it all now, I only used them for 3 days.

[Elode 8,093]

Today I exercised!!!! And real exercise too! I took my baby for a jog/run! I can not even begin to tell you how much easier it is now that the rolls are gone and the boobs aren't flapping around! OMG night and day! I actually enjoyed the hell out of it!!! I also put this picture on FB! Where people can see my stomach and everything . I never in my entire life ever could have imagined I would show my stomach!

[Elode 8,093]

I got all my food prepping done for the week! Breakfast, lunch & dinners! There's just something about feeling good that makes me want to eat good!

@@cdsjjotn it's a carton of egg whites and 4 regular eggs mixed with onions, peppers, cheese & candian bacon.

[cdsjjotn 516]

Great job! I'm really trying to work on preparing my food for the week. I just run out of dinner ideas and resort to my chicken and tuna salads. Thank you for the egg idea in the muffin pan!!

how long do the muffin eggs keep? I'm thinking I could make those on sundays for the week instead of taking an egg to work everyday and making it in the microwave lol
