5 Days Post Op Mommy Make Over



Recommended Posts

could you that have had the skin reduction surgery.......Did you wait till you reached your goal and stayed for awhile? Some people say they did it at about 75% done. Also did insurance cover any of it? ll this saggy skin is horrible. Does any exercise help?

I wasn't to my goal but I was ready for the surgery and had kept the weight off for close to two years. No insurance doesn't cover it sure wish it did tho because its spendy. And exercise didn't help with my excessive skin. It does with some people but not me.

So worth the money! I was at 85lbs down. Surgeon removed 4lbs in the breasts and 3 in the abdomen and somehow I quickly dropped another 15 quite quickly after surgery. So my goal was weight was hit! Oh and I had not maintained at all, had just reached the 85lb mark when I scheduled surgery.

      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.
