Wanting to get 3 procedures at once. The arm lift, breast lift with augmentation and the 360. Any great docs in my area? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I live an hour outside of St. Louis, Missouri. I've been watching every video out there and reading doctors reviews. Think I'm gonna go with Renaissance Plastic Surgery Center in St. Peters Mo. Now to find out how much they're going to charge.

Right me too[emoji20] Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Welcome Kris. It will get easier. Just take it one day at a time. I'm 5 mos post op and social media still sucks with food pics. I still want to eat but thankfully my body doesn't allow it. I'm still learning what foods my body will tolerate. It's great you have a fiance that is being supportive. You will be skinny with him soon enough. No need for him to hide eating though. You have to get used to everyone else eating things you can't. Like the pizza and soda my family had without me tonight. The fat chick in me wanted to eat it but the fact that I don't want to be the "fat chick" anymore helps me make better choices. The craving are always gonna be there some days more than others. Everyday gets a little better especially when you can actually chew on something that crunches. YOU GOT THIS GIRL!!!! Other than walking as much as possible I would stay away from any real exercise for a few months. Give your body time to heal. You are not eating any real calories so there is none to burn. Summer is around the corner. Try swimming or walking in a pool for the resistance. Try a stool softener every 3 or 4 days if needed. Try to get in as much water as possible to help also. Others have tried miralax or MOM. Good luck on this life changing journey.

I am almost 5 mos post op. I went on a 7 day cruise on Feb 3rd and bought the drink package. I tried wine and all kinds of mixed drinks and NEVER even got a buzz. Anyone else have this happen? I have never been a big drinker but was really hoping to enjoy the drinks on the cruise since I couldn't enjoy the food.

I had my surgery on October 16th 2018. I went on a 7 day cruise on Febuary 3rd and bought the drink package. I have never been a big drinker but wanted to enjoy the cruise (since I couldn't enjoy the food). I tried wine and all kinds of mixed drinks and NEVER even caught a buzz😓. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal? Sorry I can't help with your question. Only advice I have is try to limit how many you have or like someone said pace it to 2 drink in a 2 hour period.

You look awesome. Both of you do. I haven't taken any pics yet but I will soon. Had my surgery on October 16th and have lost 89 lbs so far. Love that everyone at work calls me skinny now. I'm looking into surgery for arms and tummy but am very happy with results so far.

Also...do you smoke cigarettes? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm at 12 weeks post op and 68lbs gone. I also have to force myself to eat. Most things dont taste good. Very hard to get in my protein. They say it just takes time. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Came home around 1:30 this afternoon. I will say I am feeling pain on my right side. They said I would for about a week. It's the side where most of the work was done and deepest stitches. Actually pretty painful getting in the standing position stretching it out. Other than that I'm great. Getting most of my liquids down and walking alot.

Right, It was nothing like what I feared.
