Here is a pic of my arms a well, I didn't feel like taking my arm garments off but atleast you can see how skinny they are.. I will post a pic later with no garments so you can see the scar line. I also had my breast lifted and implants put in.. I chose 375cc's and my surgeon chose 375cc's mentor smooth round high profile. I decided against putting pics of them online without clothing, I just feel better about it not being naked so sorry : (

I lost over 120lbs. I'm now 110lbs. and a size 0. I had gastric bypass last March so its been a year and 4 months. My plastic surgery took 7-8hrs. Total... A long time to be under! But I'm glad I got them all done at once! I tried to talk him into adding a medial thigh lift, but e said that was too many procedures at once. After surgery, I was glad he didn't do it because the rest of me hurt soo bad!

My energy level is pretty good most o the day! But I start to feel bad around 6pm and by 8 or 9, I am done! I still wake up at night in pain and have to take a few Tylenol, but during the day I haven't needed to take any meds for the last week.

You look fabulous!!! So tiny too!!! The tummy looks great and the arms are so tiny. Glad to see you wearing your sleeves, they helped me so much, they made my arms feel so nice and tight, I am sure that's one reason I didn't get the "spread" that some do with arm incisions...Each week you will feel better...Time is going by really slow I know, but now that the drains are gone you are free...take it slow this is your healing time...

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks! It really makes me feel better, especially right now when I'm not feeling so fabulous! I'm taking it really easy, no lifting anything heavier than a glass of Water and no housework or going places besides my dr. appts!

I'm 12 days out today from my LBL, TT, Butt lift and Lipo. I know how you feel! Recovery is tough and I'm ready to be back to normal but I know that will be a while yet. You look great.

YES!! It feels like forever because I'm so used to being active all the time. I will say that for me the last couple days I have been feeling better and better and it's been kind of nice to sit and relax! I know I'll look back on this in a couple months and it'll all be a fleeting memory.

Lil...do you still wear a binder or garment around your waist? When did you get your drains removed?

I had two removed the other day and I still have two that won't be removed for 11 more days. My doctor told me he's very conservative about the drains especially in WLS patients. I knew that before I decided on him for surgery so I was prepared for it but I cannot wait until they are out!

Yes I am still wearing my binder around my waist.. I hate it! But he told me I could use Spanx instead, however as much a I hate the binder I am still wearing instead of spanx! It makes me feel secure like it doing something protective to my body. I know it's just in my head! I will be wearing it for a few months I believe. I had my arms drains removed after a week and my abdominal drains removed after 2. Thank goodness they are gone! You will feel much better when all your drains are removed!

I'll have to wear mine for a couple months too. It doesn't bother me right now. It makes me feel secure also. I like how it holds everything in real tight!

      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.
