Question for the women



Recommended Posts

Btw, I never thought I had a chubby one until I went to get my 3rd plastic surgery consult. The surgeon assessed my loose tummy skin by pulling it down and sideways. Then he tells me "You're a great candidate for this. I can probably remove about 4-5 lbs of skin." Then he proceeds to pull UP my abdominal skin and says, "It'll even make you look better down there." I was thinking Wtf. Down there.....I didn't think anything was wrong with my cookie jar, but apparently I was wrong! Sure enough, there was a noticeable difference after surgery AND made you know what much better.....since my chubby part was gone! Lol! Hope this helps!

haaa! I love that cookie jar! I had the same thoughts. Having been heavy my whole life i never had to worry about showing that part. But i have been thinking alot about how it changes. Loose skin between the legs can be really uncomfortable and cause problems. Id really like to hear from people if it shrinks or hangs

I've lost about 100lbs. My mons does not have hanging skin. It is still very chubby, maybe even chubbier. Or it could be that I lost all my stomach and boobs so now I just have a better view of it. I hate it!! I am just starting to research plastic surgery and this is the main reason.

      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.
