19 months post op and just had a breast lift and reduction



Recommended Posts

So, 19 months post op, after an 85 lb loss and very successful surgery (I have been at goal weight for 9 months), I decided to have a breast lift in both and reduction in one. That happened a week ago and all is well!

I posted my story on my blog, so take a look. Most of you know I did a weekly blog for the first year of life after the sleeve and posted faithfully every Sunday. I stopped after a little over a year, but thought this was worthy to share. I thought I would need implants but after some research, found out that a lift and reduction would be best and I am so happy not to have implants! I am almost 60 but for the first time in my life I now have nice breasts!

My blog is www.queenofcrop.com I have more details of what happened there and yes, there are photos (that I couldn't post here).

Haven't been on the forum for a while so I'm sure there are lots of new people here....hope everyone is having a very successful time of it. The forum was so helpful for me in my first year!

Very happy for you. One question though, why would you bother to post pics of boobs that are not yours, what's the point of that? Remove the pics and just let us use our imagination as your writing tells the whole story very well.

At ERP; thanks for the nice words and words of advice. I picked similar photos because I didn't have a before photo of my own breasts; and even though the after photo has the same look and shape as mine, mine are till taped up and bruised. And even though words can describe things, I feel photos allow the reader to see the possibilities when you don't have implants. I am not the least bit ashamed of any part of my body; I don't believe in 'bad' body parts vs. 'good' body parts. I'm sorry if it offended you, but I feel this forum is place where we all learn how to navigate this new world we are in and I for one appreciate all the information I can get.

      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.
