Hey Liz! You look like you are healing really well. And just like me, no bruising, and little swelling! You must be so pleased that it's all over, and went so well. Just remember to do as little as possible in the next few weeks in the way of lifting, housework (lol) and stuff like pushing shopping trollies (found that one out the hard way)

You look fab!

hi, yes ive lost 3 of my 5 old scars and the 2 that are left are very faded so im pleased about that, as it gives me an indication on how my new scars will heal in time.

Hey Brandychick, cool name !! thankyou for your comments, ive had my check up and most of the scaring is healing well, i have a little bit leakage at the bottom, so still have to wear the corsett for a while longer, im on weekly checks so every thing should be ok.

thanks Liz xxxx

I am told that the longer you can wear the corset the better the end result will be! ( my friend is a nurse)

I'm sure that your leaky bit will heal up quickly!

Did you have any liposuction in the end?

Hi anon, i think i will have to wear the corsett for a few more weeks, no i didnt have liposuction as its only 3 weeks today since surgery, i dont know if that will be a option further on in time or if i even want that, as i feel like my bodys had enuff as im still in so much pain, im just taking it day by day at the moment.

      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.
