losingjusme goes for plastics



Recommended Posts

mazie,

that's the plan. maybe a slight revision when i get my thighs done after i hit goal, but my pannus is creating major balance issues now (i tripped a few days ago, sometimes even just getting up off the couch, i get off kilter of sorts, etc..)

i am really excited, but nervous now. my dad was really great about it, made me wonder why i waited to call him ...

i would love to drop another 10-15 before the surgery though ... nice short goal ...

LJM, I am so happy for you. Bets of luck and a speedy recovery once you get it all done. Hopefully afterwards you will feel so great you will make goal in no time!

....Enterprise, pics are attached ...

Wow! Your progress is just incredible! You should be so proud of yourself.

How's your husband doing with all these changes? Is he supportive of the plastic surgery? My boyfriend is still having major issues with both my weight loss and the brachioplasty. I hope you don't have to deal with that.

DH is simply amazing. he likes the fact that i am losing the weight for me, but it does benefit him too ...

he does not know about the mons lift, its not something you just bring up, ya know? we both know that i reallyyyyyy need it (tmi, sorry, but can you say scrotum? :speechles)

he is very proud of me and just wants me to be happy....

i think i will be more proportioned after the procedure... i have a 40 bust, 38 waist and 52.75 hips ... that's just so wrong. and yes, i am big boned, but the bones arent that big...:):rolleyes:

i have a date...

it is a little later than i'd like, but it will give me lots of time to get in the best shape possible for the surgery.

now all i need is my boss to say OK that i can move my vacation.

oh boy...

Congratulations.... you have to keep us updated for that long too! lol

You have inspired me to make a goal of 100 pounds lost by Christmas... I was not far away... but a little pressure never killed me. And with the Holiday Cookies and candy everywhere... it's not easy. I have been jogging a little bit every day, and it is working!!! With out your posting, I would have not thought it was possible, with out total knee replacement any way!

Best of luck with your continued success.... any goals before surgery you care to share?

PS... I can (unfortunately) relate to the.... scrotum comment... you are not alone.

Note to self... LBL/Mons lift... etc... Christmas list 2008!

you can so do 100 by christmas, concentrate on lean Protein and veggies ... YOU CAN DO IT!!

my goal before surgery is to lose another 20 pounds. right now i am in the losing inches mode i guess, pounds are few and far between but last month i lost 2.5 inches... i just want to get as fit as possible for the surgery so i can have a quick recovery..

Fit before surgery is a must - you can/will do it!

My Mother was set for band surgery on Dec.19th.... failed a stress test as pre-op requirment, had triple by-pass heart surgery a week ago today... she was on one week of liquid diet and lost 22 pounds! (lost a little more before that too) That my have kept her alive through the heart surgery! Doc says if she went in for the band on 19th... she would have crashed on the table!

Being in good shape for any surgery is a must! You can do it! Thanks for the Protein advice... is beef out? I do well with shrimp.. is that good lean protein? Thanks-Kimberly

      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.
