Tummy tuck *pics*



Recommended Posts

You look great. :clap2: I know I am at the beginning of losing the weight but I know I will be at that stage someday where I will need the Tummy Tuck. I dont like surgery :nervous and am not sure how I managed to get through being banded. I know I will have many questions down the road. But right now I am taking it one step at a time. Again you look fantastic. I hope I can look that good someday too.

I didn't get a chance to see the pics it looks like they have been removed/deleted. Is there anywhere else I can view the pics? I myself will need a Tummy Tuck in the future and so I'm curious to see your transformation

Thought I'd go ahead and add mine to this thread as well....

The post-op pics are less than 24 hours after surgery.

Hey Chickie - The drugs must still be throwing me off a bit. I thought I was posting my pics to the PS Before & After Thread last night not your personal thread. Sorry, for the mess up. I've loved reading your PS thread and everyother post of yours I've stumbled on. You have been and are an inspiration to me throughout my band journey.

Chickie:You look incredible! Did you lose additional weight in the ten months post-surgery? I bet nobody can believe you were ever heavy you look like a natural skinny mini!

It's ok! I wasn't worried at all. I just realised that a lot of my surgery pics were not viewable by anyone but me for some reason (It's odd, really)

I am glad I was able to be of some inspiration.

Thank you!

I lost about another 30lbs in the first few months after the tuck. I haven't lost anything lately. And I do get some very surprised looks when I tell people that I was overweight, I have had people gasp, and say "No way!!" at times too.

      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.
