True story--I thought I was curvy till I lost weight... turns out I was just fat. My plastic surgeon gave me back a bit of my curves, but everything I have left is thanks to him

Oh no!! And oh yes!!! 😁 😂

And now I'm on crutches with a torn Achilles' tendon and realizing how much each of them has come to mean to be as I'm staring down the barrel of a three month recovery!

Really sorry to hear you are injured @jess9395. I can only imagine how much that sucks for you.

Thanks! Trying hard not to feel sorry for myself. At least my upper body will keep in shape!

My 15 year old son says "hey you can do weighted pistol squats!"

Pretty sure I couldn't do those before the 20 lb cast [emoji23][emoji23]

I used to powerlift so I know that genetically weightlifting is my body type I used to look similar to the gal in the pictures who weighs 297. My weight was 293. I got so unhealthy though that I had to do something about the weight.

      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.
