JulieNYC's medial thigh lift, breast augmentation and mons lift



Recommended Posts

These are not terribly informative pictures. I took "befores" but on film (how last century) because I forgot to bring my camera to the hospital and I stopped by a drug store to get a disposable so I'd have realistic befores, but I haven't developed them yet. And, I'm working off my parents' computer tha doesn't have good photo software, so the cropping and sizing is rudimentary. I'll do better in a couple of weeks when I get home but didn't want to keep you waiting that long.

I'm very happy with the breast size. I'm in a full C right now, but there's a lot of swelling. I'll settle into a mid-C or maybe even a smallish C in the end, I'm sure.

Also, there are no weird shadows or scars other than the t from my lift. There are some shadows in the photo.

Julie,

You get many well deserved comments on your bravery and willingness to share your experiences. Add my comments to the pile. You’re an amazing human. Kiss your parents for me because they made a fantastic person.

I wish I had the vocabulary to really express just how meaningful reading about your journey is for me. Not just because it gives me hope for my future, but because it shows just how caring you are.

Instead of telling others what they should do or how yours is the only right way you’ve embodied showing by example just how life transforming (literally and figuratively) lapbanding can be. And though your pictures are amazing and telling and I devour them, your words stick with me more than you might imagine.

You’re better than a rock star. You’re just regular with a great heart…

Thanks so much,

Juli

Congratulations. You look great. How is it psychologically to not have stuff (skin) hanging? It's probably too soon to tell?

I've read a lot of your posts and have learned a lot! Can't remember if you did your arms too? They appear so firm!

Julie, I wanted to say all the things OHJuli said, but she did such a WONDERFUL job of writing it and putting words to the thoughts in my head too, I'm just going to piggyback onto her comment and say:

Yep, what she said! (Because OHJuli is freaking BRILLIANT!)

      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.
