My resale shop find! I love it but thinking maybe it could look a little Pajama-ish?

How faded are your surgery scars?
Kris77 replied to 2Bsmaller18's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I’m hoping my scars fade as well. I’m only 2 mos or so Post PS of TT, breast lift and aug. He has me using scar gel twice a day on them🤞🏻🙏🏻 I don’t scar well either. I’m a keloid former. When I broke my ankle my husband rubbed cocoa butter on the scar every day for me and it flattened out and you barely can see the scar now. It creeped me out too much to touch it bc you could feel the screws when you rubbed it so he is the best hub ever and did that for me!❤️ -
Omg @ms.sss let me know how it goes!! I have kinda lines around my mouth area now since losing Since I just did a big $$surgery$$ prob not having anymore PS anytime soon. Curious how long those Derma fillers last...what do they use...so exciting. Can’t wait to follow you on this!!

Yum looks so good! I love mushrooms and asparagus!! We are all coming over for dinner!! -
I had gas pains after as well. Moving helps eliminate this. Walk around the house etc. def do small sips. Follow your Dr orders always helps. Good luck and welcome to the club

Hmm never happened to me but did you eat something with sugar or high in fat before this happened? I know when I eat something fatty and too fast I’ve gotten sick. I learned not to do that again and quick. Hope you find out what the cause is!

I love love love salmon and after my surgery I couldn’t stand the smell or taste at all. Took me like 6 mos or so until I tried it again and it was back to normal awesome smelling and tasting!! Hope it changes back for you too!

Plastic Surgery Countdown is on!
Kris77 replied to kristieshannon's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Love that dress!! You look amazing in it too!! -
Don’t cheat. There are a few reasons I was told to stick w the pre op diet. 1) it shrinks your liver bed and allows the surgeon room to see and work where he needs to work. 2) this is the start of your new life-make those changes now and follow the rules so you can be successful after surgery too following the rules laid down for you. YOU CAN DO THIS!! Just think once the surgery is over the hunger pains will be much easier to manage. Use that Honeymoon period to make lasting changes to your eating/lifestyle and they will become habits. Good luck tomorrow! Keep us updated!!

I’m not sure about your Bladder/prostate but I’d think it’s the much less fluid intake you are getting. I pee WAY less than before-even years out. Ask your surgeon./doctor They are there to help.

Really Struggling - advice needed
Kris77 replied to jackie1533's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I wasn’t able to get a lot of fluids down in the beginning too which made me dehydrated. So in turn I had to take small sips frequently instead. That and make sure I did bc I wasn’t peeing a lot which meant dehydration which isn’t good. Once I concentrated on small sips freq that helped. It will get better. There is a Clear Protien by Premier Protien. You can get hydrated at the same time as getting your Protien in. Keep your head up, it’ll get better. -

Tummy Tuck vs Mini Tummy Tuck
Kris77 replied to Tim C's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had a TT, breast lift and Augmentation done in Jan. I was sleeved in July 2018. The diff in a mini vs a full TT is the muscle tightening. The mini is just the skin and below the belly button. A full TT is full muscle tightening like a corset and then pulled down from above the belly button. Good luck to you!! Let us know what you decide to do so we can follow your PS journey! -
Send me a PM. I live south of Houston. In between Galveston and Houston.

What should I know before a face/neck lift?
Kris77 replied to Jenna_P's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I haven’t done either but I’d def do your research on surgeons. Do lots of consults. Good luck and keeps us posted! -
For me, I def could be alone. By day four I was driving to the grocery store. It depends on each person I’m sure. I am a quick recovery person though I think. Good luck to you and hope all goes well!!

I’ve eaten the soup at our hibatchi and it comes w chives and mushrooms. Just don’t eat those. Stick w the broth only.

Order some soup and eat the broth. That will be filling too bc it’s hot.

You should do that!!! -
For me I don’t do any pasta or bread. They are heavy and swell up in the stomach. Plus, Those are not worth it to me. I’d rather save those calories and carbs for something else. Honestly I don’t miss them really. Pasta was never a big deal to me but bread was. I loved bread. I’m use to not eating it.
