I am home. Definately sore, but considering all I think I am doing very well. Dr Querry removed 8.2 pounds of flesh. I am very swollen. I have sprung a couple of leaks, but she thinks they will resolve witht thecompression garment on now!! It is very uncomfotable to sit in the chair just yet, so I won't be posting much. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. I could feel them. I will give more details later.

Georgia, Thanks for being my bestest band buddy!! It was great to talk to you on the phone!!

YAY, you're home!! Me and DS have been at his cousins fishing birthday party since lunch. I was going to give you a call if I didn't see a post from you. When I woke up this morning, my first thought was "I wonder how Renewed is doing", lol. I still can't believe how good you sounded on the phone yesterday. You rock!! Take it easy and try to get some good rest (if that's possible, lol).

Call me if you don't feel up to posting and I'll update everyone. And ditto on the bestest band buddy....you're the best!!!!

Yeah renewed!!!!!

That is fabulous that they were able to do the 360 lift :eek:. It will be worth the pain, the drains, and even (gasp) the leaks. Put on that compression garment and take good care of yourself.

Renewed - I'm glad to hear you are doing good (well as good as possible). I hope you continue to heal without complications. You'll be back up and going before you know it!

So glad to hear from you. 8lbs is a lot for a tt I think! You must be very happy - have you had a peak at your tummy? I found it really surreal at first (actually I still do). The first week was rough for me - mostly uncomfortable right? If you stick with your pain meds for as long as you need them you will get pleanty of rest and be feeling yourself in no time. Keep us updated.

Hey Renewed, Congratulations my fellow Oct PS buddy. WOHOO 8 pounds must be the magic number this month. I haven't been online much as Dr has me on strict bed rest becasue of one icky spot hes keeping a close eye on. He told me to not stress, but I m . thats just me.

OK will chat later, remember the drugs our your friend right now.

Congratulations again.~

I haven't been on much either. It is really hard to sit in a regular chair. The incision going all the way around is quite a deal. It makes it pretty difficult to get comfortable. howeve, I am not regretting the decision at all. Today DH and I changed all of my dressings so I got to take the compression garment off and see myself for the first time. Very surreal. I can't believe that is me. Lots of swelling, but under this garb is a petite little waist. I can actually see my back bone. My tummy is SOOO flat. I will definately post pictures when I heal a little more. I can still see imperfections, but I am so amazed with my results. I stll can't believe that body attached to my head is mine!! It is really difficult to put into words. I have worked so hard for this and I finally can really see the results.

BTW, I weighed today. I weighed 170 the morning of surgery. The doctor removed 8.2 pounds. I am obviously VERY swollen so I was very pleased when the scales said 166.2 this afternoon.

I feel pretty good. More discomfort than pain. One of my drains pulls funny and really gives me grief, but that is my biggest complaint!!

Renewed, I'm so thrilled for you. Your journey is very motivating and helps me when I'm feeling frustrated at the slowness of my weight loss.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
