Redecorating going on!

I am so excited because Jen at Jen's Lapband Journey is designing a new blog for me! I cannot wait to debut the final version!

I am also very excited because I went shopping today for some capri's for Hawaii and I got 4 size 10's and 1 size 8!!!!  Holy Schmoly!  Size 8 on me?  I don't even care if it is a fluke or not, the tag says 8!  I might even leave all the tags and stickers right on the pants!

I am going for a slight fill tomorrow.  I have been so screwed up since my unfill in January.  I am not even at the level of where I was when I got my first fill one year ago!  I am going to ask for only .15 cc and that still wont bring me to the first fill level but I feel like it will give me some much needed restriction.   We are leaving for Hawaii next Wednesday so I know if I have any problems I can address them before we go.  I just dont want to go away with my current fill level.  I feel like I am almost at "the" right level and now would be a good time to reach it!

My weight has held steady since all my fill/unfill drama started in January and I am only 2 lbs lighter than I was at the end of January!  On the other hand, my measurements have gone down thanks to all the exercising I've been doing so thats all good.  However, I still have weight to lose, maybe another 10-15 lbs and its all from my lower body. When I try on bathing suits or shorts it kills me that I still hate my heavy legs.  My husband said "keep doing what you are doing and the weight will come off your legs".  I just dont think so.  I have fat knees in addition to fat thighs and really think ultimately, the only thing that will help is liposuction at the very least.  I don't have any problem with my calves so I should be thankful for that, right?

So, back to the gym I go tonight for 60 minutes of spinning with Herman the 'Hermanator'....he is a killer.  Sunday morning, he changed the name of the spin class to "Sunday Spinning for Saturday Sinners"....you get the picture.....TORTURE!  But man oh man, do I love burning those calories in an hour!  I also went to a cardio class this morning but wont be able to get to the gym until Thursday night as we are going to visit my father-in-law after my fill appt.  By the time we get to the doctor who is 100 miles south of me, my FIL is only another 100 miles so off we go!

Size 8's??!!!??? That's awesome!

My legs are fatter than I'd like too and they also have some saggy skin. I don't know if I'll ever wear regular shorts in public.

I have the same problem. I won't even get in a bathing suit because of my heavy legs and saggy skin. I figure capris are the most skin I will show and I do look much better than before surgery. Good luck on your fill and, oh my favorite place Hawaii.......lucky you.

I think having heavy legs are an issue for many women--myself included. The important thing is how far you have come and what a beautiful person you are--inside and out! Size 8--WOW!
