To have a very brief moment of Christmas delight and then a stark reminder as to why sugar is bad. Sometimes a kick in the gut is necessary to get rid of stupid decision-making.

Ugh I have the garments for 8 weeks... but allowed a few hours a day if freedom. Honestly though, with my stomach, it feels so much better with it on. It just feels.. loose and weird without it. My arms though... I could definitely go without them. lol. But it's also 15 degrees where i live right now so... added layers?

No, I didn't see what kind of garment you got. I bought my own off Amazon so it puts on like a crop jacket that buttons under my boobs. The ones they gave me were terrible and snapped behind my neck!

So, I don't really ever cheat. Aside from a few mozzarella sticks, I've stuck to the plan. Yes, I've gotten dumping A LOT because stuff on the "plan" isn't always Kosher for my particular tummy.
But today. Today I set myself for failure on purpose. I ate a shortbread cookie, a ferrero rocher, and a cordial cherry. At the same time. Yes. The epitome of all that is sugar and anti-WLS. I warned my coworkers that in 20 minutes I would be dying. I knew it would happen. I did it anyway.
It only took 10 minutes. I spent half an hour in the work bathroom foaming and dry-heaving. I dry-heaved so much snot up my nose started to bleed... profusely. I was hot. I had heart palpitations. I couldn't speak for an hour.
It wasn't worth it. LOL. But damn the "normies" have it good being able to enjoy those treats without weight issues or dying in workplace restrooms.
And no. No plans for a repeat ever again. So that's my contribution to the cheat thread. Except this cheat was a big one with consequences of suffering. lol.
Don't cheat, kids.

My plastic surgeon said if my forearms swell to remove the compression garment because it's cutting off too much circulation and put it back on in a few hours. I'm still wearing mine at 4 weeks. I haven't at night though. But shhhhhhh. lol.

belly button pieces

**gore warning? for those who asked....

stomach on the right, arms on the left. lol.***


I have a very similar picture somewhere, but mine are just the tummy part.

Agree on the speedy recovery! That is amazing!

Heading back to the gym today! Officially 4 weeks (and one day) post-op. Just spin class. I have a single trainer session on the 24th to go over how to 'start over' with weights (and protect my back since I have a herniated disc).
I am scared. LOL. It's been since September since I've been at the gym.

Mind sharing photos with me? I am curious about the legs - having that done next year!

Got my pit staples out today. One was bent so that was pinchy. I have some separation at my belly button but it's internal so the scar won't be visible. It isn't infected... just where they reattached it on one of the four spots pulled away a bit so it's a little thicker scar. Need to coat with Aquaphor and gauze for a little while.

Other than that, all is awesome. I went clubbing Saturday and danced for 3 hours - no pain. I told the surgeon and he just laughed and said moving is great just don't do it if it swells or hurts... but nothing about this has hurt. Great experience so far!

I had a breast reduction in 2017 with a full nipple graft (where they remove the entire nipple and sew it back on). The only thing I can feel on them is pain if pinched. I had no sensation in them when they were intact before. It's surprising I feel anything now because all the nerves were totally severed (obviously). My left nip sticks out and I'm always trying to push it back in but it won't go. LOL. It annoys me.

I had full-body Lipo in 2009. I never got full sensation back under my arms. It was numb and if touched it felt like pins and needles. Now after the arm lift, I actually have sensation there again (???!!!!??) Very weird. And on my Tummy Tuck, if I touch one part of the incision line, I can feel it halfway up my stomach. The human body is nuts.
