    tampa got a reaction from TheRealMeIsHere! in Ready for plastic   
    I had my sleeve in Sept 2013. I have over 100lbs. I am about 20 lbs away from goal. Looking into plastics finally. I just can't wrap my head around recovery time. All the sites say something different. I feel like I have to get a lot done! Ugh.
    My first question is what was your recovery time for the following surgeries? Please tell me age and activity level. I feel that makes a difference. I am 46 female and moderately active. I work out.
    Recovery time for Tummy Tuck with muscle tightening?
    Recovery time for Thigh lift?
    Recovery time for Brazilian butt lift?
    Recovery time for arm lift?
    Recovery time for breat lift with implants?
    I am not sure if I will get all that but as of now I feel I need. The TT and thigh lift are a must.
    My 2nd question is if you had more than one procedure at the same time. If so which ones?
    Thank you in advance for your help!!

    Thanks so much for your insight. Everything is a trade off. Because I am not lifting and really working out hard I can't complain. I would love to know of any success stories but at the end of the day I feel great. If I have to get a body lift I will. Ugh. Don't care to think about the recovery time

    I had my sleeve done on Sept 30, 2013 in MX. It was a little rough at first but almost 7 months later I can't believe how normal I feel.
    I did not weigh prior to surgery. Day of surgery 300lbs. Today 220!!!
    I don't follow the rules as much as I should. I rarely have a shake. I try to get all my food from Protein. I rarely eat bread or past. I mostly eat meats and vegetables. I eat a sweet every night. I need to drink more Water. I drink alcohol about 2 to 3 times a month.
    I probably could have lost more but honestly I am happy with my progress. My biggest concern was never eating the foods I like. I eat small portions if whatever I like. So loosing and eating what I want on occasion is success to me. My goal weight is 160 and I hope to get there by Sept.

    tampa got a reaction from Jessicatcmi in Advise please with no judgement   
    I had the sleeve 3 months ago. Start weight was 298 the day of surgery. Did not weigh before. I have lost 46 lbs. I feel great. It was tough in
    The beginning but I can eat anything I want in small portions. I have been very good for the majority of time with high protein/low carb foods. I did however enjoy the holidays with carb enriched foods/alcohol and sweets. Not excessively.
    Honestly I am fine with my decisions!!! I am
    Already back on track. I have way more control than I once did
    I am ready to go hard and I want to spend the next 3 months focused and really loose.
    My question is this:
    Has anyone really stepped it up in months 3-6? And lost as much or more than
    They did in months 1-3
    Thank you!!!!!

    tampa got a reaction from laurab136 in Help! Feeling crappy again..   
    This so cliche but it does get better. The first 3 weeks were tough. I never got depressed but I did have slight buyers remorse. Why did I do this? Why didn't I get the lap band? Nothing to major but I def over thought it all. I quickly got over it. I am almost six weeks. So far have eaten small portions of everything I want.
    Please know it gets a lot better
