My Exciting News



Recommended Posts

On Friday I am having a forehead lift and my upper and lower eyelids done. Since losing weight I kind of look like I have a permanent frown. Yep, my face has sagged. Since it's the only saggy bit I can't cover I thought I would start at the top and work my way down.

Good luck! I'm looking into blepharoplasty too as my eyes have sagged and Its the one place I think I can lift now, well before my WL has stabilised. Keep us posted!

Day two, so far so good. Not much pain at all. Lots of ice packs and waiting. Bandages have to stay on until Thurday so have to wait and see. Will report when the new me is unveiled.

How are you keeping yourself occupied, and have you much bruising? Glad the pain is minimal- must be mending fast!

I had a brow lift, lower bleph, and necklift about 7 weeks ago. I had the coronal incision for the brow lift - from ear to ear over the top of the head. I'm very happy with the results. I hope your recovery goes well!!

My recovery has been great. I am so happy, I look 10 years younger. It was well worth it and would not hesitate to do it again.

      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.
