LessofApril reacted to iamsoworthit in What is the recovery like for tummy tuck, breast lift with agumentation
I am 5'2" and had a lower body lift in November. Day of surgery I was 123 and now I run anywhere between 110 and 112. My surgeon took almost 7 lbs of skin off. I went from a size 6 or 8 to a 0 or 2. Amazing what 7 lbs of skin does!! Just be careful to get too thin beforehand because I can say I looked really gaunt at 108 which was my lowest a couple of weeks ago. 110 to 115 is my new 5 lb range.

Ok now I'll be a hipocrite because that is my newest pet peeve - people telling me I'm too thin. I am like when I was 267 at 5'2" no one said anything then. My response is I am in a healthy bmi and quite happy with my new shape. I wanted to comment only because our height and weight is so similar and having just gotten the lower body lift.
Oh and my loving husband of 18 years said I was bordering on concentration camp survivor when I was 108 (I was recovering from an infection, surgery and did look terrible but still). Trust me, we had a little chat after that comment. I think people are just getting used to our new shapes least of all ourselves. I for one love my hot little body and feel great so anyone else can eff off.

I had the works...pain was not an issue, but it kicked my butt. I was off work for 6 weeks.

LessofApril reacted to AvaFern in What is the recovery like for tummy tuck, breast lift with agumentation
I had an abdominoplasty, and a breast lift and augment, as well as some Lipo in various areas done in August. The pain was minimal and recovery was actually better for me than was the sleeve. The recovery is less about pain and more about limited mobility in the sense that I found out exactly how much we use our pectoral muscles when vacuuming and how hard it is to get out bed when you can't use your abs. I was 100%, no more pain or awkwardness at 8 weeks, I was fully back to the gym and all activities at 5.5 weeks, and I was walking around grocery shopping and doing my normal activities within a few days of surgery. You just need to be careful with how much you lift, because the boobies and their new implants, feel really weird doing anything chest-muscle related for a few weeks.
I LOVE my plastic surgery results, so if you have the time to take away from work, I say go for it!

I've definitely lost all I'm going to lose. I've been around the same weight for almost 5 months. They say 6-12 months after reaching low weight before plastics because it can take that long to "stabilize" and see what your skin is going to do. My face, neck and arms have already tightened up nicely. My tummy has some looseness but nothing I can't live with. However, nothing but a scalpel could fix my thighs, butt and boobs. With that being said, I don't think I will be getting plastics. 1) all my "problem areas" are really only visible when I'm naked (or wear shorts), and I don't really care what I look like, 2) I don't have the time it takes for plastic surgery (both the surgical time and recovery) and 3) Its a lot of money that I could use in a more productive way. But I guess if I won the lottery I would find the time to get a LBL and boob job (without augmentation....I love my teeny chest, just not all the extra skin).

Thanksgiving went pretty well - I took a spin class that same morning because I knew I wasn't going to deprive myself of my very own homemade baked goods (New York style cheesecake and carrot cake with cream cheese icing ????) I had a tiny bit of just about everything (ham, lamb, chicken, collards, stuffing, sweet potato, turkey stew, mushrooms) and I just nibbled on my plate for a few hours ???????????? I got in under 1700 calories for the entire day. I track routinely on my fitness pal app. So Proud of me! How was your 1st turkey day? -

Hi! I'm just stopping by to say hi. I've been so busy lately. I haven't had the chance to check in. As far as WL goes, almost a year out and things are slowing down. I weighed myself Monday and and I'm hoovering around 174. I'll do a real weigh in on Saturday and check back in.
How was the first Thanksgiving for everyone?

I'm only 5'2. I'm a really shortie. Everyone wants me to stop losing weight however my ultimate goal is 115. I'm very pleased however I'm afraid of how easy I gain weight and go up and down on the scale so easily

Down 5 pounds since last weighin (10 days ago). Lost the 4 I had gained on my carbfest vacation plus an extra pound. Even though I didn't mean to do it, hitting the 100 pound mark still feels pretty cool!

Still 124 lbs... I've hit a plateau... my cravings are out of this world and I eat like a tapeworm. Does anyone have this issue 10 months out? I can definitely eat more which kind of concerns me
