:clap2: Hooray, for flat tummys... :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Momoffour, when did you have your Tummy Tuck? I'm sitting here wondering if your belly button is healing well. It looks very different from what mine looked like. Mine looked like a small little belly button right off the bat, I am just wondering if yours is okay. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, how recent are those pictures? Just concerned for you. And make sure once its dry and healed that you put a marble or something so that the wound doesn't heal itself shut. I didn't know this and my belly button is kind of tiny because since its a circular cut the natural tendancy our body would have is to heal it shut, I myself am scared to stick a marble in there, but the ps said that is what they recommend. I just take a square of toilet paper and fold it really tight into a little cylinder type thing and stick it in there and it has helped. And is worse comes to worse, the ps said he could correct it a little with local anesthetic to open it a little more.

Thanks for the pix...I am wondering what it costs, since I'm sure none of it is normally covered. I know I will need a TT, and a boob lift at the very least. Thighs aren't too bad, upper arms not great but still elastic somewhat. Belly gotta go though any qoates on how much?

OUCH, that picture with the bellybutton hole looks kind of raw. Is that the way it's suppose to look while it's healing? Yikes, that scared me, but you're looooooking good.

The Tummy Tuck took you from a size 14 to 10??? OMG, that's great.

Believe it or not...I had NO PAIN with my new belly button :) It's still a little red, but when I saw my PS today for my 2 month check-up she was VERY pleased at the way it's healing and I must admit it looks so cute..better then my original :clap2: I'm going to upload some pics from my 2 month check-up tomorrow to show my progress. I still have some swelling....but everday it gets alittle better :biggrin1: and I'm loving my nice flat tummy :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
