Its been 2 months since my revision and I am very happy with my results. Unfortunately at my gynae visit last weeks I was told that I now am going through menopause and everyone I talk to tells me of the weight they have gained once reaching menopause (this weight being mostly around the mid section) I am now dreading this and am going to have to start watching what I eat and exercising more. After having to go through lipo I definitely do not want to look as I did pre lipo. He told me that when a female stops producing oestrogen during menopause that our shape changes from a pear shape to an apple shape and lots of weight gets put on around the waist, but that this could possibly be prevented by taking HRT. He explained the pros and cons and I decided to try it for a while and see how it goes. I should actually start taking pics every couple of months and posting it here in order to see if any change takes place in my body shape.

7 weeks post op

Its been 7 weeks since my revision and I am totally thrilled with my results. My stomach looks much flatter now. I think I am starting menopause as I have been having night sweats occasionally and have cravings for chocolate so have not been very good as I cannot control myself and have been munching away at the choccies. I still look good, but I am worried that I might just start putting on weight which I definitely do not want to do. Many of my friends have ended up putting on quite a lot of weight on their middle when going through menopause so I have to really be careful now. Will be putting up some new pics soon.
