I went for it and got a bit of botox between my eyebrows about three weeks ago and I freaking love it. It sort of gave me a tiny eyebrow lift, it cost me only $9/unit for a total of $108 bucks and was sooooo worth it. I look refreshed and the little furrow lines I had creeping in have relaxed and dissipated.

I also had dermabrasion and an IPL (laser treatment) also known as a photo facial done to my skin and it is currently lightly flaking off the top layer of skin. It is not red or raw it just looks like I am maybe peeling from a slight sunburn (without the redness) and the skin underneath is revealing to be soft, with smaller pores and really even skin tone.

Next appt is for a revision I need on my Tummy Tuck and some abdominal Lipo I am going to combine with that revision. I guess it is the year of taking care of me? I think this might be getting addictive.

You haven't been round for a while, so THAT was the reason! Good that your doing things to looke better after all the hard work, that's what I think, as long as you don't take it toofar_I'd rather be addicted to that that than to food :lol:

I booked my TT, liposection and boobs for december (in Paraguay-we're going for Christmas to see our family) and I'm so excited. I haven't reached goal yet, but I'm exercising loads and hoping to lose it all by december.

Good luck with your TT revision!

Chilo I am so happy for you and your appt to get the TT. It is going to rock your world. Is the price in Paraguay better then your neck of the woods? I have been just out living life I guess. I feel like I don't hide around the house now that I am at a weight I feel comfortable at. I start back to work tomorrow, I have been off for over a year and I think it will actually be just the distraction I need to keep me away from extra goodies.

NJMOM- I live in central California smack in the middle of Bakersfield and Fresno, so the middle of NOWHERE hehe. The prices are getting really competitive with the doctors on botox. I like that healthy competition hehe.

Becca-Thank you so much for the cheer, it is hard as a mom sometimes to spend that money on luxury things especially when I paid cash for a TT then cash for the VSG and now the little extras but I guess since it isn't breaking the bank and my kids are well taken care of I shouldn't feel to bad about it.

On another post, I mentioned that I got a quote for a TT. I have about 1/2 of the amount & trying to find a way to raise the rest. I would love to see a flat tummy again. Again? What am I saying, I never remember having a flat tummy. tongue.gif

Oooh!!! I want it! Right between the eyebrows is where I need it too. Sometimes I think I look irritated when I'm not, and I think my new glasses only emphasize it. I didn't now that it was starting to get so cheap... hmmmm, think I'm gonna look further into this!!

      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.
