Fanny Moves to Phase Two



Recommended Posts

Congrats Fanny!!! Good luck and happy flatlands tomorrow! That is so awesome that you will be in the hospital for 7 days. I just had a Tummy Tuck and breast lift with implants 2 weeks ago, I was in surgery for 8 hours and went home that night..ugghh. I and I am sure my hubby would have preferred to be in the hospital having nurses care for me. I am so excited for you! Please post when you can and I will be keeping you and Kate in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow!

Aw I missed wishing you luck before you left, Fanny! But remember you're in my thoughts and Dr Allbrook is a genius, so I know you're in good hands!

If you manage to log on and feel like a visitor, I've got some time off this Wed and would love to come see you! (You're in Murdoch SJOG, right?). We can compare notes. :thumbup:

Sweet dreams, matey. When you wake, you'll be waking to a brand new you!

Hi everyone. I made it through ok and not in any pain as yet, except when I had to get out of bed for thm to change the sheets. Standing up hurt!! Lellow, I'd love a visitor, but I'm in Hollywood Private Hospital, on Monash Avenue, just behind Charlie Gardiner Hosp.

I am amazed at how flat my tummy is and I think the boobs will turn out great too.. Allie Morris - they sent you home that night???? OMG!!! I could NOT cope with that!

Fanny, thanks for posting your status, I hope you continue pain free. Why did they have to change your sheets so soon? Do you have a lot of drains?

Best wishes for a pain free and speedy recovery.

Hi Mimi. I had 4 drains but they took 3 of them out this morning, so they were only in there overnight. I think they changed the sheets partly because they were a bit mucky from when they took the drains out but mostly as an excuse to have me stand up. I only just managed it but hoping it will be easier tomorrow. However, as the anaesthetic is starting to wear off, I think it will actually be worse tomorrow. In all the ops I've had over the years (and there have been many!), Day 3 is usually the worst, as the anaesthetic is fully flushed from your system, they drop the drug dosages but the pain is still there and comes through finally... Oh well... it's been an easy run so far, here's to hoping it continues :thumbup:

Wow Fanny! Sounds like things are going very well for you. I hope day 3 isn't too bad.

Take care and rest, rest, rest.

Hi Fanny! I am so glad to hear you are doing so well! Welcome to the flatlands Fanny! Isn't it so wonderful to feel a tight smooth tummy? I can hardly wait to see your pics. I found that walking as much as possible really helped to speed my recovery. It also helps to get the gas moving.. keep us posted Fanny!

It was fabulous to meet you today, Lellow! Thank you so much for coming in and comparing notes with me :) I am amazed at how well I feel and how little pain there has been. You're right - Dr Allbrook is a genius! I am absolutely thrilled with my new boobs and flat tummy. I love what it has done for my thighs and bum too - couldn't be happier!

      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.
