      Oh I can do that. I pulled my own drains out so I'm good there what I can't LOVE is the picture of the whole stomach stretched up over the chest as the repair the underlying muscles. Then comes the big flap of skin they cut off and throw in a pan. Seeing = feeling it. I'm going to have this done. I'm just going to sedate myself enough to forget the images on the day of surgery!

      I tried to watch a lot of TT and breast augmentation videos before my plastics too. It was all I could do not the throw up. The blood and gore don't get to me, it's the pulling and stretching. Like when they stick that hook inside your breast and pull it apart to stuff the implant in there.... OMG!!!!

  4. Merry Christmas all you crazy hyenas!! You guys make life worth living, that and Mexican wedding cookies!!!! Xoxxo!

      My problem with this site is trying to go page to page and often get the message "This Page Not Available" then I have to hit refresh and try again. Ties my panties in a bunch!!!!!!

      Elode

      Lol! I haven't had that issue. I'm on a iPad though.

      my nut said to have a spoonful of peanut butter, it not only has good protein and is decent in fats, its been proven to help burn a lil more fat while sleeping. I did it last night and no tummy rumbles! allergic to peanut butter? I have no clue then!

    3. Jefferyc79

      Jefferyc79

      That's a great tip @Veronica Page, I will def try that too. For me I have found that drinking a protein shake before bed helps me not feel like I'm starving when I awake.

    4. Elode

      Elode

      Thank you @Veronica Page, I will give that a try.

      Mine started falling out the week after my 3rd month anniversary. It noticeably slowed down in my 7th month. I now have all these little fluffy short hairs around my head. I'm hopeful it will come back in given time. Scary, though, when it's happening.

      Same with me! 3 months - 7.

      Oh it is! It's like my treat! I add a teaspoon of heavy whipping cream (O carbs) to it and a touch of Splenda. I learned that from Starbucks lol!

      Have you tried boullion? I have found that very satisfying. In fact, I take some canned beef broth (4 oz) add 4 oz water and half teaspoon of beef boullion to it. VERY satisfying. Lately I've added a teaspoon of unflavored protein. Now I'm getting fluid and 10 grams protein. You can try chicken and vegetable flavors too.

    4. Elode

      Elode

      No, I did that when I was new out of surgery though, thats a good trick to do though when you need more protein!
