okies, went in today filled out some paperwork talked to the nurse about what I wanted / what I expected etc.

Met the Dr. he seems like a nice guy, much more chatty than my band Dr lol.

Anyhoo, he looked at me said he wouldn't do a Mini Tummy Tuck on me! Said I didn't need it and he wouldn't scar me over it. He did say Lipo in tummy upper tummy trunk (thighs) and my arms instead of the arm surgery. He said Arm hanging fat is hard to get off after Weight loss and I was so young and my skin still has alot of tone in it that I should be fine w/ alot of lipo lol and wearing a supresion garment for 2 weeks.

About my breast he said to wait until after the lipo to get my breasts done and a basic breast lift would be great for me and it would take me down a size DDD to DD which is fine w/ me :)

On my donation site the goal was set to 12k the est given today was 14k for it all. So that pretty darn near what I first est. I've already received on 10.00 donation and have made almost 35.00 in ad clicks :) , So I'll at the ad click money to the donation pot once they send out a check.

So long story short I went expecting pricing on a tummy tuck and breast lift est 12k, and left with the est. for a basicly full body lipo and breast lift 14k.

I guess I am happy he didnt think I needed a tummy tuck, I'm not big on scars. I was really hopeful when he said my arms shouldn't need surgery just lipo, cause to me they are the worst grossest thing on me :)

Anyhoo now I have to go re-type my website and tell people what I just told you! :D basicly the $ still goes to my body make over just not cutting on 3 area I orig. thought.

Thanks for caring guys~ I was really nervous this morning.

My mom is now nervous I guess its that "My baby wants surgery, and she had her consult" mama fear lol.

Anyways Thanks for your thoughts!

I need to go update my blog and website.

      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.
