Heading back to the gym today! Officially 4 weeks (and one day) post-op. Just spin class. I have a single trainer session on the 24th to go over how to 'start over' with weights (and protect my back since I have a herniated disc).

I am scared. LOL. It's been since September since I've been at the gym.

Just had my 7 week followup. One more week of compression garments and then he said I can burn them. LOL.

I have my final followup in June. During which time I am consulting for breast implants, a butt lift, and inner thigh skin excision for October. HOLLLLAAA.

Also cleared for ab exercises! Let the buffness commence.

Nice. Though I've read that the longer you wear them (if you can stand it) the better...?

I have started to grow fond of mine, when I take them off to shower I just feel weird.

I'm itchin' to build up some abs too!! Don't tell my surgeon but I've been doing mini crunches in bed, lol.

Is your swelling all gone?

I never had any swelling at all. Or raised incisions. I barely had anything come out of my drains, either. I had a blessed surgery. LOL.

I did 100 crunches (50 basic, 50 bicycle) yesterday at the gym before yoga. Took me longer than would be typical, and I did less, of course... but no problems today. No soreness. When I got out of surgery, my stomach was as hard and flat as a rock - no swelling or pockets of Fluid. The skin is a little more lax now, but it's still flat.

Tummy pics? (please?, lol)

Do you find that the skin in the area that connects your torso to your thighs to be tight? I can feel my skin tighten alot there when I push my pelvis forward. Wondering if its just me...

BTW, your recent arm pics are awesome. You got some guns, love em! I've always longingly looked at the women with nice toned shoulders and arms. Even when I was thin I never had toned arms. Things are different now 😎

Nothing on my stomach is tight anymore. I am free of the compression garments, too. Well, technically Tuesday but I bailed a little early. Still going to wear the tummy one during spin class for support. The pics are me laying down... because I am lazy. lol.20200111_114347.jpeg 20200111_114331.jpeg

      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.
