WAS TOTALLY AGAINST PLASTIC SURGERY UNTIL I WOKE UP....



Recommended Posts

I was hoping they would be age-appropriate saggy, but I'm "only" down 60 lbs and have another 40-60 to go, and it's sad what is happening in the chesticles area. The bat-wing arms aren't cute, either, or the rolling thighs. I'm walking and spinning and doing weights 2-5x a week, hoping with time and exercise some of it sorts itself out a bit, but I figure 2019 or 2020 there will be a Tummy Tuck, breast implant/lift that needs to be budgeted for.

I didn't think I was this vain, but I am! I'm finally liking how I'm looking and don't want to waste this opportunity to look good for the last of my young-ish years. continuing to be self-conscious. Plus, getting skin tags on the underarms and breast area from skin chafing. Gross.

Lift me up, baby!

Right , I figured in the beginning of this "I JUST WANT TO BE HEALTHY". now that the health has improved and the temptation to show off the hard work is here the TWIN TOWERS will not let me be great. The stomach, i can tuck in and conceal , been doing that for years. The boobs only look good completely covered. Nothing low cut because even in a great bra they look like they need to be ironed. Could i live with it, technically, would i be happy still having to cover up at beaches NO. After my one year check up i will start lining up consultations

      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.
