fingers crossed this will be my last surgery come hell or high Water

@ @@Djmohr et al

3rd time is the charm!!!

thank goodness!!!!

saw doc yesterday

including DOS, it's only been 6 day since magic!!!

in and out surgery (never had that with any of alllll surgeries)

things went well :rolleyes:

surgery, recovery about 2 hours

after pain meds wore off

breasts felt very tighttttt, they really hurt

within 2 days i could feel the improvement

every day better and better (like the sleeve)

my chose of breast size is medium

when i was heavy, they were big by nature

now, they feel and look great

wearing a special bra 24/7

that's ok - i have to heal

see the doc again in 2 weeks

by then, hopefully no more special bra

i temporarily am sleeping on a big

wedge, with a pillow

not uncomfortable - i always sleep on side

sleeping on my back is weird

3 surgeries are a lot to go through

but at the end of the day - it was definitely worth it!!!!

almost 5 years PO - 105 lbs weight loss - two new girls, life is good

i look cute a button

hmmmm, maybe cuter?? :lol:

nawwww, that would be too much to handle LOL

thanx all for your good thoughts - they helped

You'll be lucky to get rid of the surgical bra at only 3 weeks out. I had to wear mine 24/7 for 8 weeks! It was the worst. Every woman knows that feeling where you can't wait to take your bra off after having worn it for like 16 hours? Well I had that feeling every second of ever day for weeks and weeks! But it was all worth it in the end and it will be for you too!

doc told me to be "lazy" around the house - NO sweeping, vacuuming, cleaning floors etc til i fully heal!!!/feel better

hubby always comes to my appt - doc told HIM to clean up for a while (i slipped doc a $20.00 to say that) LOL

i'll give him another $20.00 next appt if he tells DH to clean up for the next YEAR - isn't bribery great!!!

Yahoo for the girls!!! So glad you are doing well!!!

Kristen - thanx for your nice thoughts - i've led a sheltered life - before i came to this board - i never heard the expression "the girls" -_- amazing what i've learned here LOL - even learned about food and nutrition LOL

worth it in the end and it will be for you too!

Jamie, thanx - relieved everything eventually did work out for me- concerned/scared that they wouldn't!!! - alls well that ends well (i love all those silly cliches')

You deserve it! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

@@OutsideMatchInside (don't know your first name( boo boo!!)

silly head, of course i deserve it!! (we all do) ;)

feeling better, stronger every day - living the dream i never knew existed!!!

@ - thanx for appreciating what i'm going through - even though you are JUST a dude! LOL

      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.
