Thought I would add the boobs here too so I can refer back when my plastics are finished at the end of 2017.

I had cream on the 2nd picture and just three weeks out.

So glad it did... keep up with the pain meds and you will feel MUCH better when the drains are out.

I bet you can't wait to see your new tummy (through the swelling of course lol)

*Gentle hugs*

Did the same surgeon do all the work? If yes, they are seriously talented in many areas. Great results! Your eyes, especially, look amazingly natural and youthful.

What's the recuperation time for the TT in terms of staying out of work/lifting?

Yes, the same surgeon did all the work. I am seeing him for my 4 week check up on Monday. I might have to hug him !! I was in surgery for over 6 hours.

I had an extended TT with a lot of muscle repair and was told 6 weeks off work.

Oh my gosh I'm so jealous!!! I want my boobs done. I JUST said yesterday that I look like a little boy because i'm seriously flat chested now...I've had mosquito bites that are bigger than my boobs! I can't afford the extra 5k right now so i suppose I'll just have to live with being the president of the itty bitty titty comity.

Find a nice push up bra that adds a cup size.

My eyes are still very swollen and tight but no pain at all, even right after the op which surprised me!

You look great, but how do you afford all this?

Your eyes look amazing. I look more like your first photo. I want desperately to get my eyes done. I'm scared that the surgeons will botch it up. Who did you go to and how much was it. I know that my insurance won't pay for it. I would take the flight to England to get my eyes done. My sleeve was done 5/25/16. Is it still too soon to get the eyes done?

They are still quite swollen in that recent photo but perfect now they have settled down.

Ian Whitworth was the surgeon. I had 5 procedures done at the same time and he did them all. Very gifted man!

      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.
