Recommended Posts

Hey to all my fellow bandsters:

:tt1:

Just posted updated plastics pics. I am now 3 1/2 months out from breast lift, breast augmentation, brachioplasty (armlift: bye bye bat wings!), Lipo of abdomen, Tummy Tuck, and brazilian butt lift. All done by Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey, Mexico in March, 08.

YOu can see the updated pics on my website hubby did for me: My Mexico Plastic Surgery Journey!

Have a productive day!!

Oh yes...the one for arms/breasts was easy to wear and fairly comfortable. The other one was horrible but I wore it for 6 weeks as instructed. I am 5'11" and way too long of a torso for them. They would dig into my privates and crawl up my rear. I was constantly trying to discreetly "dig it out". I still have them. I bought two sets. I plan on burning them in the fireplace as soon as it cools down here in TEXAS!! :thumbup::thumbs_down:

Hey Tracy,

Thanks. I am excited to begin my teaching career and can't wait to get into the classroom. It's nice to start this new chapter with a new body and being 95 lbs lighter while closing the old one with the old body.

It's amazing to me how just something like making the choice to change your life and choosing things like going to back to college, getting weight loss surgery, then plastics, and now a masters degree and a teaching career. This momentum that builds up effects all parts of our life and the lives of our family members. Guess its better than going backwards though.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
