Set A Tentative Date For My Plastic Surgery



Recommended Posts

Well, I spoke with my doctor and I am planning to head to Mexico to get my Tummy Tuck and my liposculpture end of July, I am so happy, I have to work extra hard to try to get as close as I can to my goal weight. I have a tough job ahead of me, but the reward will be amazing. He even said that he will reshape my butt with the same fat he removes from other areas to give me a rounder, higher looking butt, I am thrilled. My husband is excited for me, he gave me the money last week and I'm all set to go. One catch, he has challenged me to get to my goal weight and my reward will be my surgery. I think this is the incentive I need. I am so excited. I stand in the mirror everynight and imagine how my body is going to look minus the fat roll overhang on my stomach, minus the extra fat on my thighs, and back. Oh, its going to be awesome, please keep me on track, I want this so bad. Can I ask that all of you check in with me and keep me encouraged to eat properly and do my exercising. I would really appreciate the encouragement from all of you. Well, I will keep you posted on how I'm progressing, I have to lose 30 lbs in four months or 14 weeks, so that is about 2.14 lbs per week, its dooable, please help me stay focused. Thanks.

I can't wait.......

      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.
