Beginning of Abdominalplasty/Breast surgery

Thanks BooBoo - was a bit worried it could come across as more like a stalker. Though I went overboard with the receptionist to emphasize I wasn't trying to get any personal info about her or even confirmation I had the right office just that she would ask if the doc knew who I was talking about so they could get a message to her. The most I suggested was if there were some terrible problem that maybe someone could make an anonymous post or to ask her family to let us know so we could pray for her.

My DH has no idea I started my own PS thread. He actually forbade it (didn't want others seeing the pics). But I have told my neighbor about the site and have asked her to be in charge of posting a message if something were to happen to me.

Why did he forbid you?? lol...men can be strange! I started mine today since today will be my first appointment. I am not sure yet if I will post very graphic pics...but what do I care? lol...

He's wierd, or maybe he's normal and we're the wierd ones. I don't pay too much attention to anything he "forbids". He is a very private person and I'm very outgoing. He's always complaining I tell people too much about my/our lives.

Hi Ghost - I think we are soul sisters - we have the same pantry and the same husband!! I am always embarrassing him because I will tell anyone anything! I am worried about FSC too, I hope she will get in touch. I live in Reno so I am not too far from her. I will have to hop over to your ps thread and see if you have updated. Thanks for the pics - my husband would be horrified if I posted mine I am sure. I think that he is not thrilled that I am on this site since it can eat up the time. I never used the internet for anything other than shopping before!!!

Yeah, My DH is fond of repeating that stuff about how you never really know who you are talking to online. And that some of us on Lapband might just be pervs in disguise pretending to be WL Patients. I can just see the Headlines "Serial Murderer Stalks Emotionally Vunerable Bariatric Patients Online". You know even if it were true I'd rather live my life out in the open :hippie:than hiding behind some wall. :car:

FSC YOU'RE BACK!!! WOOH HOO! Give us an update. How are you doing? Life treating you OK?

My stats are very similar to yours. 5'2" 170ish. I'm only 7 weeks out from PS and thinking that once the swelling goes down I'm going to call whatever my weight then is goal. I'm curious despite your stats I think you look 10 times better than me and still dream of looking as good as you some day. Don't know if it is all in my head and others would say I'm closer to that reality or what. But my question is, are you happy with how you are looking and satisfied with this being goal for you? Or is your mind playing tricks on you as well?

      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.
