Oh yes, and I forgot to mention that I will have the fat transfer to the rear, which happens to be almost as flat as my bust is, lol!

@@Think can't wait to see that! I had a butt lift and my upper rear is better than the lower half. I was thinking about getting fat injected, but I'm about out of fat, so I need to decide that before I have any Lipo. I have a little fat left in my thighs. Never thought I'd ever be worrying about not having enough fat, lol!

I completely agree!

Yes, I hope he is able to get enough to make it look like I have at least a resemblance of a rear end. If not, I will live with it, since I have no desire to actually have implants put in there, lol!

A bit more about me. I am a 47 mother of 3 grown children, last one by emergency c-section. Obviously I have had other surgeries, the open gallbladder, heart valve replacement and spleen removal. I completely understand this is not going to make the vertical 'stem-to-stern' incision vanish. It's more about the obnoxious overhang I have of my abdomen and the deflated boobs.

I am 5' 3.5", and 118 lbs. Highest weight was about 220 lbs before the heart surgery.

Pre-op photos, ugh! Bless one of my dear girlfriends for taking these hideous photos!

@@Think you don't look that bad and your thighs are great. I'll bet you have a really nice outcome. Are you getting an anchor cut? Safe surgery and speedy healing to you!

I agree, you've got a great starting point, and I think you'll be amazed at the results. Your thighs are better than mine after having 2.5 pounds of skin and fat cut off of each of them. Good luck, and can't wait to see how great you look!

      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.
