HUGE UPDATE (134lbs lost & plastics)



Recommended Posts

hey guys!

ive been gone for a while but i wanted to update you with my numbers and BIG NEWS!!!!

a lot of you guys probably remember me and for those of you who dont, you can go to the complications section of this forum & read my thread "i definitely regret surgery" or something to that effect.

i started at 273lbs.

i am now 141lbs but my lowest was 139lbs. i kinda bounce between the 2 numbers.

on march 22nd, i am having plastic surgery!!! i am breaking the bank to get this done but i feel its much needed & cant deal with looking as i do now.

before surgery, i was probably a size EE in bras but squeezed in DDD bras. i am now probably like a D. you cant imagine how much skin and wrinkles my boobies have. im 24 with grandma boobies. so, im getting a breast lift with implants & im getting a fat transfer to my butt. a fat transfer for those of you who dont know, is when they Lipo your mid section front and back & transfer the fat into your butt. this will leave my tummy very wrinkled which means after i pay off this $9,000 debt that im jumping into, i will have to then pay for a Tummy Tuck. i found a plastic surgeon who i love and trust & he doesnt accept my insurance so im paying out of pocket. im having this procedure done in westchester, ny.

please pray for me! xo

Hi Jasleeve. So glad you are doing better. I am new to this site (sleeved 1.19) and did not see your previous posts. Congratulations and good luck with your upcoming surgery. If you would not mind, would you please tell me the name of the surgeon who is going to preform your surgery? I live in Yorktown Heights, and had my sleeve surgery done at Northern West. Hospital. Once I get to where I need to be, I am definitely going to look into having additional surgery for the excess skin and to make girls look perky again. Be well.

      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.
