so far am pretty happy with it, will get better as swelling goes down and it gets flatter. Drains are AWESOME!!! NOT!! :P Was supposed to get the second and last one out yesterday, but was till draining too much. Fingers crossed for tomorrow! They are not as gross as I expected, though. I pass out easily and was afraid I'd pass out EVERY time I looked at them or emptied them. Didn't even bother me, from day one!! But.....I am sooooo over it and want it O U T! :angry:

Congrats!!!! It is so exciting! I was told that it takes 2 months to see "final" results due to sweling and settling around. I think you will be very pleased.

I notice you had quite a bit of bruising, I don't think I had any - wonder why? Is the panni with TT different then a TT? I had a lower body lift which is basically a TT with a flank and butt lift.

You could try my method....have your cat bite that bad boy.

That's why I asked how you got him to do it! LMAO

she said 3-4 months till it will be fully flat and I will lose the extra weight from swelling. She also mentioned that I am extra swollen from bruising, so maybe I am more bruised than some people. Bought a clingy shirt today, tried it on, without the binder, looks AWESOME!! Can't wait to see how it will look in 3-4 months!

Now......gotta find some HOT clothes to wear for Thanksgiving, Christmas and, of course, New Years Eve!

      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.
