29Feb - losingjusme's plastics day



Recommended Posts

with a panniculectomy, they literally chop off everything either at the belly button or right below. so if you are 'thick' above the belly button you will still have that and it will create a wedge ... if you do a google search on panniculectomy, it will show a picture of a very bad one (and they considered it good...) i know i posted the URL to the pic, maybe in my other plastics thread ???

I know a few plumbers with cracks that look like your belly button. Gotta love the forum... we know we're not the only ones when we come here.

I was talking to my best bud and now I'm alittle scared. I wasn't going to tell her but we had lunch today and I blurted it. She was a tad bit negative (which is her natural state of mind) - kinda said something about not getting it done until goal but I said geesh I'm 15 lbs from my goal, its not like I'll have to have another tt when I lose it. Then she flipped and went on about how good I look and how even she has the belly flab - she's like 115 lbs - but I'm a little scared of the pain now.

StepC: Read my thread and you'll see that probably everyone has friends who are going to be jealous of your TT. I was 15 pounds from goal when I had my TT and the doc told me it was the perfect time to have it. He said if I lose alot more weight after the TT I might need a slight revision, but it's not going to be a big deal. I won't need the muscle repair, just a small incision and a little nip and tuck. I'm thinking of having my arms and back side done, so I am planning on more weight loss and if I need to, I'll get a little revision of the TT at the same time.

LJM: Maybe you shouldn't get on the treadmill for a little while longer. You are doing so well, but why push it? I guess you know best, though. Let me know how it goes for you and if you get more swelling or pain when you do it.

im going to take it VERY VERY slow... literally going to start out at .5 MPH and gradually go up .1 MPH until i am walking 'normally' ... i dont think i'll last long though (went to the mall tonight* and lasted maybe 15 minutes, but that was chasing after DD)...

* what on God's green earth was i doing at the mall on a Friday night??? geesh - wayyyyy too old ... all the teens with droopy drawers... i did go back to Steve & Barry's and got a couple more pair of jeans though.

Losing, you are looking FABULOUS!!! What a difference! Glad everything is going well!

      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.
