Nurseamy's tummy tuck/Lipo/Mastopexy



Recommended Posts

Amy: Looking great! I'm suppose to go to Puerto Rico with my DH in 3 weeks. I was wondering about the compression garment and a bathing suit, but I guess you just don't worry about it?! Did you have to travel far? I still hurt when bouncing in a car. Did the travel make you swell more?

I only had to travel 1.5hrs.I just wore the garment when I did not have a bathing suit on(you can see the marks from my garment on the one with my pink bathing suit)I was swollen from the trip..I weighed 4lbs heavier

last night when we got home than I did this morning. Have fun in Puerto Rico!!!

Amy: Can you be more specific about how you feel? Still having a hard time standing straight? Lots of swelling what? Just don't have the stamina? Wondering if I'll be saying the same things in a couple more weeks!

HIi Karey, I am just still very sore and still having a hard time standing straight.I do have some swelling,but not much.I am just very achy sp? It is hard to describe:rolleyes:Best way to describe it is I feel like I have been beaten with a baseball bat sliced in half and put back together:confused_smile:I have 3 little ones so it has been hard for me to just relax so I think this has effected my recovery.I am really not a wimp either,I had my 1st baby with no epidural and have done great with other surgeries.Post Op Blues...big time!!!I am sure you will be fine in a couple of weeks!!!

      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.
