Recovery time for arm lift with breast lift?
Elode replied to bluedreams86's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
@@jess9395 Do you have pictures to share?!! I want all of those too.....well I'm worried about arm scars so I'm not sure on that but the rest! Did you have a good Dr? Are you happy with the results? Was it crazy expensive? I'm I being nosey!? Probably but I'm getting excited!!! -

Do all Doctors require two week liquid preop diet?
Elode replied to Sleeved Nurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Everyone's different I did a two week pre-op. Depends on your surgeon, better wait for that meeting. -
@@samantha614 I had to pay a 50 co-pay for each NUT visit. She ended up costing me more than my actually surgeon. My whole entire process from start to finish was $350. She was 150 of it. Still nothing compared to what some people have to pay.

Tomorrow is my surgery 11/17/2015

Congratulations! You may not have regret. I have NEVER had any regret, not even a second. -
So what are some of your favorite breakfast go-to's? I love cooking but I've never been a big breakfast person. One of my favorite and simple breakfasts is salmon lox. I know it's not going to appeal to everyone but it does ok on covering a lot of the nutrients I'm looking for. I very rarely eat any bread products but these English muffins are ok for me. I've added the totals for my breakfast. My tracker doesn't subtract for dietary fiber so my carbs would be 9. I'm aware that it's not a lot of calories but it's all my stomach can handle in the am. No, I don't eat and drink. I still wait 30 mins before and after. I've tried to drink with food once and it was not pretty! So what do you eat for breakfast?! I use to be a shake girl but I'm trying to get away from so many shakes! I MUST have my coffee, if it comes between coffee or food sadly I will chose coffee. My son knows his momma! Ha! don't judge!

@ They put them on FB for all the world to see. I get the sarcasm remarks via FB messenger.

@@VSGmary I'm sorry to hear about your mom. If I lost my mom I would be a mess. I hope I get to read some wonderful updates from you soon! You can do this!

Ok so I'm sitting here and I REALLY want something sweet! My husband brought home Krispy Kreme's..ummm NO! My daughter is having a sleepover and they made homemade chocolate-strawberry cupcakes.....ugh! Noooooo! So of course now that I'm surrounded by sugar I want something too and NOT protein! So what do you eat that's sweet without the guilt? I've run out of ideals. I've included pictures of the hell I'm sitting in because I'm bitter!

Ok, I keep having issues with my notifications. The other day it was messed up for a good 2 days. It's messed up again right now. The problem for me is I don't "follow" threads. Not even my own. I get numerous notifications a day and my phone kept going crazy. I have to keep my phone on me and on at work for Dr calls ect.... I can't have it dinging while I'm with my patients. I go back and check my post periodically to see if someone has sent me a message without directly mentioning me . I don't check every single post so having notifications is helpful for me. I hate it when I make a post and the person never responds back so I try to answers all of mine for that simple reason. So anywho...I use a IPad Air 2 99% of the time and I don't know if that's the problem or is everyone experiencing these issues? Some insight would be nice. Also, when I'm making a post such as this if I even push one button wrong it deletes my entire post! I've done that a good 4x with this one. It has to be hands down the MOST annoying thing in all of EVER!!!! I have to copy every two sentences "just incase" it does it. Is there a way to fix that?

@@Sophie74656 Well guess what?! I use to hate sitting in my school desk and now not only do I sit at it comfortably I also sit Indian style in my seat because my whole body can fit in the chair! What your "friend" did was a bitch move and your husband should have said something! What was her point in doing that? I don't know what the paying situation was but if it wasn't you paying I'd be racking that bill UP! Next time your husband might say something. I'm a big mouth though so I would have corrected her to the hostess and got my dang seat!

@@KindaFamiliar I would appreciate it if you could just NOT be horrible to me today. K, thanks! Unless you're asking me for a mailing address to send me a present our business is done here! Toddles!!! : ) Don't make me "Holly Holm's" you!!! -
@@TinyTink I eat them, I fact I just bought some of the "hot" pickles that Claussen makes. They aren't kidding when they say HOT! Dang! And I like hot stuff but I can't handle too many of them! There should be a warning on the label!!

@@Starting to shrink I have had those chocolate and they are delicious but my "just have one " filter gets broke and then you know what comes after eating a bag of SF candy!!! I've even tried freezing them to slow me down. -
@@glitter eyes Backatcha! It's hard to watch. It's almost like a reversal of roles. I feel like I'm the mom and need to protect her. Prayers for your mom!

@@kisha585 If your talking about her plate I can't say that she did because I wasn't there. That was a recent FB post. Her mother called me because she was worried about her eating behaviors. I see her food post on FB all the time. Eating breakfast pizzas, razzel dazzle pie (whatever the heck that is) chocolate pie, Apple pecan bread, Burger King.....these are all just from this week. I don't have to know exactly how much she's eating to tell that she's screwing up. Heck I didn't even need her mom to tell me that the proof is in the pictures.

@@Licia'sjourney Its hard because food still taste good!! At least you realized what you were doing. It takes a ton of willpower to say NO! Like I've said I have done some wacky stuff like throwing things off my porch, letting the dog lick them and throwing them away. It doesn't even matter if it belongs to me or not at this point. My family knows how I feel and there are plenty of cabinets they can put their junk in that is out of my sight. If They can't give me that respect then they will lose the junk. It's as simple as that.
