    Breast Reduction After Vst Help

    wait I have very large breast I hav e gone from a 42G to a now 38G. they are like tennis balls in tube socks. I am going to wait till goal and then just get a lift. I wanted to add that I am only almost 80lbs down I have a lot more to go the next 30 are till the goal set for me by my doctor but I think I will want to loose more.
  2. The scale has not been my friend latley it has been saying 203 since 9/7. I try not to weigh in every day or weekly but I have been so close to 199. I have been weighting myself about 2 times a week since 9/7 and NOTHING it has not been moving it would get to 202 but then back to 203 and back and forth. So this morning I hopped on and it was 199.4 I was so excited. I have not been below 200lbs since 2003. Then I got up to 240 had my first baby then PCOS, then pre menopause at 27 Then 10lbs gain a year I would gain and loose but stay between 255 and 290. I could never get below 258 to be honest with myself. This is the best choice I have made for myself in a long time. I am so happy to have the outside match the inside.

    The Skin....skin!

    NOPE because I look great with clothes on.. Just how I want to look. I even stood on the kids stool in the bathroom today before my shower to see how droopy my butt is getting.
  4. If you drink too fast it will HURT. I am 6 months out and if I drink to much to fast OUCH!. I also for some reason post op till about week 8 could not drink anything cold. It hurt to. I had everything at room temp, warm or hot. I did find it really odd as Popsicle's were fine.

    Can You Eat Out After This Type Of Surgery?

    Yes you can. The only thing I have noticed is I surprise myself all the time by what I end up ordering.

    4 Weeks Out Feel Like Crapp!

    I would suggest hydration G2 or pedialyte. Also I did better with room temp and warm drinks. I felt like every time I drank something cold everything would just tighten up on me. I also felt like I had a lump in my chest/deep throat area for a while till about the 6-8 weeks mark.
  7. I am about the same as you as far at stats go. I was 278 decision weight 261 surgery date and at the 3 months out mark I was down to 235. I would say talk to your dr about the travel and see what he says to wait post op. If I were you I would try to schedule it right when you get back from San Fran. I was good to go by the 6 weeks post op and at 4 weeks out feeling good. How do you deal with pain? Also how was recovery from any other surgeries?
  8. I was Mexico also and I was Days 1-7, at least 3 days Only clear liquids I could start drinkable yogurt day 3. Day 7-21 I could start liquid protein and to get at least 30g a day Day 7-11 add creamy soups day22-28 soft foods. Tuna, cottage cheese, oatmeal, apple sauce, pudding, puree veggies, mashed potatoes.

    Different Pre-Op Diet?

    Yes I could have chose to do Atkins but my Dr would have wanted me to do it for 30days preop.

    Can Anyone Tell Me.......

    this depends on a lot of things people didn't really notice right away I was wear the same clothes and they were lose on me but I think they started to make me look bigger than I was. There are a lot of variables also if they are people that see you all the time they won't notice as much as someone who doesn't see you that much. I just say my inlaw Aunt and shew as shocked but the last time I saw here was 50lbs ago.
  13. Gatorade I loved the G2, water, it is more important for your body to have the hydration for healing.

    Laughing Cow Cheese

    I LOVE rice crackers and they give me that chip fix if I am having one.
  19. I am experiencing it now 6 months post op. but I am a special case as I have been under anesthesia 3 times in the past year. May/11 March/12 and July/12 and all were surgeries. So I think my body is really protesting now. I also just saw on Good morning america I think. that Vitamin D is suppose to help with hair loss.
