I'm 4 weeks post op from an extended TT, breast lift and Lipo. I'm starting to get a little mojo back but couldn't be more thrilled with my results. I don't think I've dared to wear a bikini since I was a toddler.

Starting weight 252 current weight 144 and 5' 1". VSG done December 2012. I'd like to see myself get to between 130-135lbs when all said and done.

I can't wait to get back to the gym so I can work on these cottage cheese thighs. It's the only thing I think needs some work yet. I sure miss my Zumba!!

This journey has been life changing. I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to focus on me!!

Me too! Not working out is driving me crazy. I love to exercise and it's my stress relief so not being able to do so is hard. I also can't start light exercise until 6 weeks. Every day I feel myself losing muscle tone but I know it will come back quickly.

You look wonderful!! And I agree, it is very important to focus on yourself. I can't wait to get back to the gym either, however I am 9 weeks post op from thighs and arms. Just taking my time and doing slow walking.

I hope you continue to recover beautifully.

Happy Healing:)

Had my 4 week checkup today. I asked PS when I could resume activity. He said go ahead you can have sex. I said no no that's not what I meant. What about walking and Water aerobics? Got the green light. Yeah!! A step towards being myself again. He said the exercise will help with some of the residual Fluid as well.

No follow up needed for another 4 weeks. At that time he will be checking my scars and be sure the tape is working. What a process!

I'm loving my new body! Each day it looks better and my tummy is flatter. Can't wait to get out and see some friends and wear some real clothes.

You look wonderful! I'm seriously thinking about a TT. I haven't been on these boards for probably a year but am back to get advice on plastics! I feel like I just need to be taken in about an inch at the seams all over!

Congrats on your weight loss and now fantastic make-over!

      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.
