Good Thoughts Needed - PS Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow morning I go in hospital for a Tummy Tuck, breast reduction and a bit of Lipo on the hips. I never thought I'd be here. I've decided that while I'm not at my original goal weight, I am happy where I am. I'm not skinny by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel comfortable. I can shop in regular shops now and my doctor says I'm within a healthy weight range. I wear a size 12 US or 14 AU now. I may lose another 5kgs or so in the next few months, but I'm not going to stress over it.

My hubby took the dreaded before photos for me. They're horrid lol, but I expected that. He's out of the country on business until one week post op, so I'll have him take the first after shots then.

Anyway, if ya'll could spare a good thought, white light or prayer to send this way, I sure would appreciate it! I think I'm more nervous this time than I was before the band, because this surgery is very much, just for vanity reasons for me. I'm just trying to keep busy so I don't think about it lol...

And thanks everyone, for your support the past few months. I wouldn't be here without it.

Hey Jess - I'm sending over lots and lots of peaceful and comforting thoughts for you, and I'm praying for a successful surgery and quick recovery for you as well.

Can't wait to see your results. "FlatBellyKellie" looks awesome, doesn't she? You will too! I'm so grateful to you gals who are braving this ahead of me. It gives me the courage to follow after you, cause I know there's no way this bod is going to return to any reasonable shape this time. I'm too old and I've done it too many times.

You'll do just fine. I'll be thinking about you all day tomorrow. *hugs*

Lots of prayers coming your way. What a magnificent accomplishment. I don't think you are vain at all. I think after losing weight that sometimes in order to feel really good about yourself it's essential to get rid of the loose skin. I say more power to you. Let us all know how you are doing.

Well, I jumped on and immediately logged into the general forum and posted a thread for you. I should read evrything properly first. Oh well...2 well wishes threads can only be better for you.

I wish you all the luck Jess and I know once you get through the initial discomfort life will be sooooo different, in a way you really cant imagine. Concentrate on that, especially when you start stressing tonight.

Cant wait to hear how you go.

Hugs

      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.
