My band after my full tummy tuck.



Recommended Posts

I was banded July 3rd 2013 and had fantastic results. 170lbs gone forever. So much so that two weeks ago I had a full Tummy Tuck. Removing nearly 9lbs of skin and fat from my tummy. I was in the green zone before my surgery my band at 10•5cc I had to choose carefully but where that failed exercise made up for it. I'm an exercise junkie. Prior to my op I had my band released to 1•75cc's. And now the skin on my abdomen is so tight eating even small portions is a real challenge. I feel painfully bloated after a few mouthfuls in the mornings. Evenings are slightly easier, I can eat a reasonable amount. Has anyone else had this procedure or any ideas? I'm definitely not going for a fill anytime soon. Originally I thought it was because of the aggravation from surgery but it can't still be that now surely. Thanks xx

Hey there, congratulations -- so happy for you! Have been wondering how you're doing as I'm not on MFP much these days. So this is what you've been up to! Way to go.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
