OH Juli's Plastic Surgery



Recommended Posts

Excellent news Juli (well except the paying part! Lol!)

My surgeon said I could start exercising slowly from 2 weeks post op too, building up to my normal regime by 6 weeks post op. And yeah, no more crunches for me ever again, he reckons!

Not long now for us! I'm super excited! I keep wobbling my jelly belly and saying to my DH, you better take one long last look, it's going to be gone soon!

I'll be happy to have my belly G O N E forever.

He said I'll be tiny.

I'm going to go to sleep with those words in my head.

Juli, I'm getting so excited for you! I think I would have died if my doctor said the word "tiny". You must be thrilled.

Me, I'm getting excited, but nervous more than anything. Keep us updated.

Well I'm 10 days away from surgery.

Today I finish my last assignment for school. I present with my team on line this evening. I started back for my undergraduate degree in 2005 and continued on to get my MBA. It's nearly, just hours away, completed!!!!

Then I fly to Las Vegas tomorrow morning for a long weekend to Celebrate.

I'll work a week, get my scrips filled, buy pillows, clean the house etc. then have surgery. SURGERY!!!

I'm so stoked. I'm not scared yet. I suppose that will come in time.

Woot!!!

Juli,

Today is my last day at work, and tomorrow I'm packing my hospital bags and cooking up some meals to freeze for DH and my sons. Thursday, as you know, I'll be going in for surgery (and coz I'm in Australia, it'll still be Wed night for you when they start working on me!)

If I don't get to speak to you again between now and when your turn comes, please know I'll be thinking of you on the 6th of April, and sending lots of good wishes your way.

Good luck, matey! You're going to look absolutely WONDERFUL!

      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.
