Regarding Graphic Pictures



Recommended Posts

I am wondering how much people really want to see on this site. I have some very graphic pictures of my recent Tummy Tuck and I know some folks would be interested. I also have before and after pictures from the tummy tuck and breast lift. I am naked in these pictures and would hate to be offending others with posting a graphic picture.

I don't have a problem with these photos as I would want to see what I planned to have done on someone else and am always curious about other's weight loss journey. My question is, is it best to email people in private or should the pictures be posted for all who are interested to see? Thanks for your input!

I'd love to see the photos. As long as your face isn't in the photos, I would go ahead and post them here if I were you.

On a side note, how bad was it having the drainage tubes in for so long? How much time did you take off from work? I actually want to have everything done -- thighs, tummy, arms, boob lift, face and neck lift, too.

Yes - others have posted photos that were graphic - they either blacked out the delicate parts - or cropped their heads out.

I, for one, am interested to see the whole process. I know that the TT is in my future.

If you want to post but are concerned about some of the more graphic areas, you can email them to me and I will censor out the parts you're unsure about. We've seen many a blurred nipple and pooty around here. :)

:( Hehehehehehe! I'm sorry I'm laughing but I'm just struck by the phase "burred pooty". I laugh even typing it!

My head is not in shots but the tattoos are there. I was not concerned for myslef as I could care less. I just did not want to offend others. I work on the pictures for the plastic surgery ans post them by the weekend.

FYI - My doctor said he has left drain tubes in for for as long as 6 weeks so i should stop my bitching1 At that point my drain was already out so we were friends again. :)

Spydr, I'm glad you've decided to post the pics, I'm interested in seeing your transformation too. PS is almost a certainty in my future and it sure does ease my mind about the $ I will have to spend to see the results people get.

God I'm so scared of the TT and the breast lift but I know they are in my future... cry!!!!

So yes I would like to see the pics, but I am really more interested in a verbal description from you as to how much it hurt and how long your recovery took.

I posted the pictures in a new thread via a link. That way, the pictures on not on this site so those that veiwed them made a choice to do so. I thought that would work.

FYI - My pooty was not blurred so be kind! :(

I think when you post a warning that they are graphic, that is fair enough.

      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.
