This tummy tuck is completely kicking my ass. I always thought I had a high threshold for pain, & I thought i was tough but shiiiiiit sometimes I think I'm dying. I already know that this is all more than worth it, though. I really did need something done with my tummy, but I didn't want to go all out with arms & thighs. Those people are inspirational. Either way, I'll post my before and after tummy tuck pictures once I get them from my doctor & take some new pictures. Don't let the pain scare you, Jane. If you think you need it & can afford it... DO IT! Buuut, I think it may be time for more pain meds haha.

Five day post-op 4lbs of skin removed Extended tummy tuck

It means it went almost all the way around my torso. There is only about 5 inches that didn't get cut. Those tubes are drains, & I can only assume they just drain the gross blood from the inside? I have to empty them every 12 hours. They are probably the most annoying thing about my TT. But I get them out on Monday! -
Before 280lbs After 150lbs Five days after extended tummy tuck (Pardon my cooter)

I don't know how to cover my cooter. Sorry! This is five days post-op. I didn't take a picture all the way around but there's only about 5 inches they didn't cut. Ouch.

I'm alive! But barely. My pain meds keep giving me the worst nausea, but they said they can't give me any nausea medicine sooo.... what can you do? I can't really take any pictures right now, I do have a couple but they aren't the best. I'll upload them later. But yes, I'm alive!

Possibly 10 more. My friends say I shouldn't stop now, but my family is getting nervous that I may take it too far. I'm pretty sure once I get a tummy tuck I'll lose at least 4-5lb in skin. Whenever I start to feel skinny, I'll see these huge rolls of skin, & then that just throws my little brain for a loop. I'm trying to be happy where I'm at, but yeah, people telling me to not lose more & others telling me to keep going. What do you think? My BMI right now is like 20.9 & if I lost 10 more it would be at 19.5. I know BMI isn't the way to determine whether or not to lose more, but that's all I have right now. Haha

Thanks! This is one of my faves, since I can actually see the difference. -
I can't believe this is at 256! You look gorgeous! -
Thanks! I see you're almost halfway to goal! It seems like it only got easy after I passed the halfway mark for me. Hope you have a good day!

I've had two fills. The first one my doctor didn't give me much of a fill & I was able to still eat kind of a lot. The second was much more aggressive but I wasn't able to keep anything down for almost a month. Since then I've only gotten loser & can eat a lot more freely. But I still can't eat a lot, so I'm not really gaining or losing, which I'm okay with right now.
