Things I Want.....



Recommended Posts

So im almost 4 months out from surgery and almost to my personal goal.

I see my body changing in ways I dont like. I really want a TT, breast lift , my arms done and Brazilian butt lift.

When do you start checking into this?

I am young and have not had children yet, would you wait?

From what I have read on here most people wait till about a year out before they get surgery so maybe should start to look into plastics in about another 6 months at least...you wnt to be at maintenance first from what I understand...good luck on whatever you chose

i personally plan on waiting until after kids! They change your body completely and I would hate to have had all that work done to have my body change on me again but thats just my personal opinion :) Good luck in whatever you choose and congrats on your weight loss

Our surgeon recommends 1 1/2 years.

I'm 10 months out now and plan to start visiting surgeons at the end of this year (between a year& a yr 1/2 out). I'm wanting breast lift w/ implants & TT first (possibly lower body lift). Then later arms and thighs done. I also don't have children (and don't plan on having any anytime soon- maybe 6-10 years from now). I figured I deserve to look like a "normal" person for the rest of my 20's for sure. lol

Sometime being young has its advantage. The elasticity and collagen in the skin is much better when you are younger. Give it a little time before you decide to have plastic surgery. A lot of your skin might just go back into place with time. A Tummy Tuck will pull your stomach skin tight and also repair your loose ab muscles. However, a baby needs room to grow, which might stretch your skin again, cause stretch marks and ruin all of that beautiful surgery you have paid so much money for.

This is very true! I think I would wait until I have at least 2 children before I get any work done

      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.
