Omg I think we are twins! I had a c section and 2 natural births, 7 tattoos, AND a breast augmentation. Everything except the hemorrhoids! Haha. I think you'll be fine to go back to teaching in 10 days! Most ppl take off a week or so,max. Some people go back to work in 4 or 5 days (I've heard). im a full time mommy of 9 month old twins, a 2 yr old, and 8 yr old. I will have 2 days in hosp after surgery (in juarez, mexico) then im flying home to georgia. when I get back, it'll be back to being a mommy with no time off.

are you very curious how your implants will look when we lose all the extra fat on them? I know I sure am! Hopefully we wont lose all our assets, and the implant will keep them full. *fingers crossed*

Hi all. I will be submitting my paperwork to insurance for approval feb 11 hoping for the end of march surgery date with dr chau at princeton - plainsboro hospital in nj ( yes where house "takes" place) I'm 5' 5" 250lbs. Pre diabetic, pcos, no gallbladder, and have been struggling with infertility for 3 years. I too have had a breast augmentation in the past and have starved myself down to 160lb in the past. I am very open with having the surgery ( family , close friends and co workers know) 1 because I'm so excited and 2 because maybe there is someone out there who is considering wls as well but needs someone to talk 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.
