    Here's a side by side of pre-op vs 4 days post-op. Can't wait to see how they look once the swelling goes down.

    Yesterday was my last skin removal procedure… vertical inner thigh lift. I'm pretty swollen, but that's pretty standard after surgery. He removed 2.6lbs of skin & decided to do some Lipo (that was an added bonus!) & removed 1600ml of fat. They put me in my compression garment while I was still in the OR, so I have no idea how I look! I get to shower tomorrow, so that'll be my first look at the new me.
    Just some history:
    5'4"
    HW 292.6
    SW (VSG) 268
    GW 175
    CW 148 (pre-thigh lift)
    Fleur de lis TT/LBL 2/23/17
    Breast lift (no implant) 4/18/17
    Inner thigh lift 5/16/17
    I'll probably get on the scale tomorrow, and I expect it'll be back in the 150s because of all of the swelling… but it'll come back down soon enough. Can't wait to see where I land!

    Sorry for the late weigh in. I had my last skin removal (inner thigh lift) this week & I'm still swollen. 149.2 this week.

    Surgery only took 4 hours, yes, it was outpatient, & no drains, which is a first! Took a shower but forgot to take pictures before I got back into compression garment. Even though I'm swollen & the incisions look pretty bad at this stage, I'm pretty pleased with the overall shape of my new legs! I definitely over did it yesterday (spent about 3 hours out with friends & not elevating my legs), and I'm paying for it today, so I'm trying to be extra good today & hopefully I'll feel up to going home tomorrow.

    I'm scheduled for a vertical thigh lift on 5/16 to take care of the inner thighs. Already had a fleur de lis TT/LBL, which dramatically improved outer thighs & most of the back issues.

    I didn't have much of an appetite for several weeks after TT/LBL. Typical day was Protein shakes/bars & one meal of actual food because I just wanted to get some veggies in! But keeping protein at 100+ was primary focus. Like Stella S, I'm sure I've lost some muscle in the process (I've had 2 of 3 procedures with the last scheduled for a week from Tuesday), so I've been pretty much out of commission for real exercise since late Feb, and don't expect to be fully cleared until late June. I try to stay a bit more aware of calories & carbs than when I was just maintaining & have managed to lose a few lbs on top of what was removed. I feel like I'm more vigilant now than I have been since I was actively losing, because the fear of regain is real!

    C/D was my dream, so I'm really happy with my results. Had my TT/LBL on 2/23, BL on 4/18, and my (hopefully last surgery) inner thigh lift is scheduled for 5/16. Looking forward to be done with surgeries and recovery. I just hope my thighs go as smoothly as the first 2!
