5 weeks I'm off for a Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation. Can't wait and will post lots of pics throughout the process! Scared, excited and ready to get my body back :) I'm 165 lbs and just wonder what I'll end up after all this skin is gone.post-180464-0-66486600-1414710486_thumb.jpg post-180464-0-99061200-1414711363_thumb.jpg

I lost 165 lbs and just had a TT 2 weeks ago. It's amazing and wonderful to see you stomach so flat!! You will love it! Day 2 was the worst, but take the pain meds and you will be fine. I look better that I had hoped at only 2 weeks PO! Surgeon took 5 lbs of skin and I have lost 11 lbs total since day of surgery.

Wow! Your progress is so inspiring. I have been debating about whether I would want to aspend any of my retirement money on plastics, but it sure would be nice to get my "perky" back. keep us informed and include pictures. When people post before and after pictures, I am just amazed at the difference.

@@sherry24184 I agree! VSG was the best thing, and plastics was second. I had my arms done and a LBL in August, and look way better than I ever dreamed. I just didn't realize what it could do for a person! I still need my legs done and breast lift so everything matches ;) You already look wonderful, so I'm sure the last surgery will really be the finishing touches!

Our stats are also similar - I'm barely 5'4", and my all time high weight was 325. I had about 5 pounds removed from my arms and lower body, but I haven't lost any weight. It was 2 months ago, and I'm still a little swollen. I have a tendency to retain Water, so I'm not surprised. My surgeon said it could take up to a year to go down, and I'm sure it will.

I had my surgery done near home, and I can't imagine having to travel with what I had done. However, I am considering going to Mexico for my next procedure because it's just so expensive to have it done here. I see so many people with great results...but I'm just afraid of being miserable and having to travel, and Mexico is a really long way from Michigan!

Anyway, congrats on so many wonderful successes!

      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.
