I too need a hip to hip TT. For the extended TT Dr Ross quoted $8,000 and Dr M quoted $8,300. Both quotes include all fees, anesthesia, and compression garments.

Where is this doc at and how much did your TT procedure cost?

I had consults with Dr Ross and Dr M at Liposuction and Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Naperville and both were great. I've not had my TT or breast lift/aug yet but am planning on having Dr M do mine in December.

I'm only 5'5 so I'm right there with ya. I eat around 1,000cals/day. I don't watch my carbs too much but try to not eat too much bread/rice/potatoes etc. I get at least 60g of protein and about 60oz of water a day. I track my food and exercise on my fitness pal. Username is tarastars1 if you want to add me. I workout 4-5 times a week doing both cardio and weights.

Surgery was 8/26/13. HW 291. Day of Surgery 270. Today 209. Total loss of 82lbs including pre-op.

Oh thank god lol I totally thought I was eating so much more than I should. I felt the same way!When was your surgery and how much have you lost??

That sounds like where I want to be I still have about 50lbs to get there but I know it'll be here before I know it. Congrats girl!

Ok thanks. Can I ask if you are at your goal weight or will you be before your surgery?

I too am eating about 5oz.

Can I ask how much your surgeries cost? I'm looking into getting a breast lift w/ augmentation and either a TT or lower body lift. I've lost 80lbs so far but still have about 50lbs to go to get to goal so I do still have some time, just trying to plan ahead.

I'm starting to think about getting a breast lift & augmentation and a TT or lower body lift. How far out are you all from your wls and how long have you been at goal?

Since surgery on 8/26 I have lost 29lbs. Nearly 7wks out and I usually eat 3, 4oz meals per day and usually no snacks. Only drink water, crystal light, and powerade zero. I manage about 40g protein and 40oz water per day.

So I just ordered the protein hot chocolate, BBQ and sour cream & onion crisp/chip things, an Oh Yeah chocolate & caramel bar, and the WonderSlim diet cheesy Mac pasta. Hope it's all good. I could use some go-to quick or on the go snacks.

I just tried to use the code but it said it was expired. Oh well, still got free shipping.

I too am interested in this protein packed hot chocolate!!!

Hi all! I had my surgery on the 26th, that puts me at almost 2wks post op. I have been on the puréed/soft food diet since the day after I came home from the hospital. The doc wants me to only have protein so I've been eating eggs, egg salad, tuna salad, taco meet, cottage cheese, etc. I am dying to incorporate some fruit like watermelon, bananas or strawberries and some veggies like steamed broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans. Really wanting some cream of wheat with mashed banana in it.... When were you all allowed to incorporate fruits and veggies?

As far as I was told about the FB page is that it is private and others cannot see that you're in the group or see your posts in the group page. I'm a member and none of my friends have said anything about me joining or commenting in the group so I think you're safe.

Today I am 4wks exactly post-op. I also hit 40lb loss from my highest weight and 20lb loss since surgery. A good way to start my day I was in a stall all of week 3 so stepping on the scale this morning and finally seeing it go down was great!

What are you eating? And are you working out? I'm on soft foods and plan to start working out this weekend.

I was sleeved on 8/26/13 so I'm about 3&1/2wks out. I'm at 18lbs down.
