OH MY GOD...21 days!!!



Recommended Posts

I need the some serious good vibes sent my way...in just 21 days I'm headed under the knife for my lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. I'm really starting to freak out. I recently separated from my husband and I'm really scared about the recovery. I won't have someone with me 24/7. I hate pain and I know that I will be in some serious, serious pain. YIKES. Send me some good, non painful vibes!!! Thanks everyone.:mellow:

I'm sending good vibes your way! You'll do great. This will be the icing on the cake after your fantastic weight loss. Will you have someone else at home to help you out after surgery? I can't wait to hear how your surgery goes. Mine will be April 30th.

Sending positive healing vibes out your way.

Sorry to hear about the marriage. You do have someone to come help you out the first few days right?

Don't stress these 3 weeks before your surgery, it will be done and over before you even know it.

Mum, Good Luck with your surgery. I had a lower body lift a little over a year ago and have no regrets. Sorry to hear about your marriage though. My Doctor would not let me go home unless I had someone with me 24/7 for 5 days. Hope you can get someone to come & stay as it really helped me. I wasn't able to shower w/o help, as I needed someone to take off the compression garment, dry me off & put on another garment. It was also helpful with getting in & out of bed & going to the bathroom.

OK, so the title says 21 more days but now I'm just a mere 7 days out from surgery. I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone. I can't believe that in just one week I will be at the hospital right now gearing up to go under the knife. Oh my God...the reality is incredible.

I am just about ready...going to get my blood work done today and going to take my prescriptions to get filled. I'm doing it...it's all paid for and there's no turning back now. Holy cow...I can't believe it.

WOW!!!!! What an amazing feeling you must be having. I send you nothing but wonderful vibes and constant support. I have bounced back and forth on this issue many times, as to have excess skin removed or not once I achieve my goal. Setting here thinking about 7 days out for you almost makes me a bit over whelmed for you and myself. To be able to look at yourself in a different light and feel so much better while doing it has got to be the most rewarding thing since the weight losee journey. If I lived near you I would help take care of you, just to watch your life change. Goodluck on this and I am sure you will do fine. You know the old advice we have all heard....NO PAIN NO GAIN right. Once all is done you will begin your life again but in a different mind set. How awesome.

Hi there everyone...the hard part is over...the six hours of surgery went well and I'm doing pretty damn fantastic. Went in for my follow-up today...didn't get any drains taken out but that's alright...I almost cried when I saw my flat stomach. I have the world in my hands now...damn...I'm so happy...despite all the pain. Here are some pics...what do you all think?

Congratulations! I have been watching the skin become looser on my body week by week. I didnt think I would need a lower body lift, but it is apparent that i do. I am encouraged by your photos and smiles!

my best to you! You look great.

Congrats and welcome to flatlands!

Apparently when I came out of recovery, I reached down, felt my waist and said 'omg I've got a tiny waist!' LOL!

I don't remember but the nurse assured me that those were my first words.

You look great, matey! It'll only get better from here!

      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.
