How about some NSVs!?!?
iamsoworthit replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My last two drains were supposed to come out today but they still aren't ready. Now it might be wednesday. The drains are the pits!! I can't get over how tiny I am now. People have been telling me for month's but now I see it. I like being 117. It feels right for my frame. My clothes all fit so much better now and bottom now matches the top. I am so glad I did the lower body lift even for as painful it is it is worth it for me. -
Happy thanksgiving! ! I am certainly thankful for a lot. I love being at my goal, having my health back and the support I get from you all. This journey is hard but knowing the support is there has always helped.

Today is a bit better with the pain. I am getting 2 of my four drains out Friday and hope the last two on monday. I am doing pretty well and was 118 this morning. I think I'll be around 115 when all the swelling is done. I can hardly believe I am under 120 lbs.

Yes the lower body lift is pretty rough. The muscle tightening is pretty amazing. I am taking my pain meds on schedule and definitely need them. I love the way my butt, tummy and thighs look now. I am so thankful my insurance paid and I get to be home resting. the drains are annoying but I had one for a full month after rny so I knew what to expect. I just feel weak and tired still but every day is a little better.

Oh and on tip of that I started my period last night. seriously unfair. Lol
-
Wow you look great! I still have all my drains in. How long until yours were pulled? I was hoping next week but honestly doubt it. Yesterday the swelling was awful but today a bit better. I can't stop looking at my rear wnd. I never in a million years thought it would be this cute. He tucked some of the fat in to give me a rounded shape instead of the flat tush I had. The muscle tightening is rough and I am still in anesthesia fog.

I am doing ok. This surgery is no joke. I have a small blister on my but bone and that is what is driving me most nuts. Swelling is pretty intense. I have been resting and walking a lot. I can't believe how great it looks tho. I can't remember having a flat stomach and my surgeon gave me the cutest little tushy! He took off 6.8 lbs of skin. Every day gets a little better but I can say rny was a picnic compared to this. It will be worth it in the end.

Wednesday is my lower body lift day! I'm a nervous wreck!
-
Less than two weeks until my lower body lift and I am getting more and more excited!
-
Wow! Great job!! I hit 123 this morning. I am excited about my lower body lift coming up in November.
-
No I was wondering as well.
-
I am so glad you are feeling betyer! That is great!
-
I finally hit my goal this morning!!! It is stupid but I have been at 126 for months but 125 was always my goal. I finally saw it on the scale this morning! I have been working out a lot in preparation for my lower body lift in November and think all the cardio has helped. Yay!!!

LBL, swelling in calves and ankles?

Do you try and put your legs up in the evenings? That may help. I am having my lower body lift on November 19th and am so excited! -
Yay good luck!! You'll do great!!

Amazing transformation! !! Great job! -
This is all great information thanks for sharing!! I had drains for a month post RNY so I am comfortable with that part. I was a band to bypass. I don't own a recliner but asked my plastic surgeon for a script so I could rent one for a month post lower body lift. I am planning to take 6 weeks off from work. Did you buy two binders?
-
Are you able to sleep in your bed or are u in a recliner still? Did they place drains? I am having a lower body lift on November 19th and am most worried about how I'll sleep afterward. Take care of yourself and keep us posted on your progress!
-
Yay!! That is great and I am so proud of you!!
-
You'll do great! If you have to eat eat meat on a stick. No fried butter or twinkies. Walk a lot and have fun!! Proud of you getting to 124! I can't break 126! 125 was my goal so you know my body is just teasing me!
-
RJ you look awesome!!!! So fit and happy. I bet the ladies are swarming.

I am super excited! I am very petite. Only 5'2" and small boned. I am constantly messing with the skin on my belly. It is so gross. My highest weight was almost 150 higher than I am right now so what can I expect? I am walking three miles every day in addition to my normal workouts. My surgeon , a mayo Dr said it is the best way to prevent blood clots. So on top of all my normal workouts I'm a walking fool.. My hubby and I are going deep sea fishing this weekend. I haven't been on our boat in forever and am actually looking forward to it. When is your tummy tuck scheduled?
-
Happy birthday!! You are a smart girl to get your weight under control in your 20s. I waited until my 40 and that is my only regret! I am having a circumferential lower body lift on 11/19 and am excited and scared. I considered the tummy tuck but I want my spare tire of skin gone. I I look like a sharpei puppy from the waist to my upper thighs. I am in a size 4 now and hope the surgery will make that look good. Good luck with your surgery and fast recovery!
