Ya, Buns of steel, but a belly of jelly, that's me (well the buns aren't actually steel, but they don't look lite two big barrels anymore). Gotta take the good with the bad!

I was wanting a Tummy Tuck and then I watched it AGAIN on YouTube. Horrifying man, just horrifying! I gotta stop doing that!

my friend had a tummy tuck after a c-section with twins. She said it was the most painful thing she's ever experienced. Also, 10k and 7 years later, she's pregnant. Doh!

You look great! I'm not brave enough to post a tummy pic, but I have a funny little story. I'm on vacation with the fam, as we speak. Yesterday I was getting dressed with a small amount of sunlight coming through the drapes. As I'm standing in front of the mirror in a panty and bra, I say to myself "I don't look half bad! Hell of a lot better than I used to!!" Then my daughter turns on the bathroom light and I say to her "turn that light off, I look better in the dark!!" lmao!!! I can't complain though! I love my flab a whole lot more than I liked my fat!!

      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.
