  1. Thank you! I appreciate it. Being that it was my first surgery & first time having an IV, I didn’t know about the weight gain, nor was I informed about it so it took me by surprise lol.
  2. Thank you! No I don’t follow that method lol just my username based off my hair texture lol. Best of luck on yours as well ☺️
  3. Congrats ?. That surgeons work is amazing ????. I’m going to be looking into a breast lift 1-2 years from now. Just recently had surgery last Wednesday.
  4. Tmrrw makes 1 week postop for me. I gained 4.2lbs while being in the hospital for surgery. I’m down those extra pounds & 2.6lbs on top of that. I know that the extra weight came from IV & probably also water retention. I woke up out of anesthesia burping & the following day, started to pass gas. I was finally able to poop this morning with the help of milk of magnesia. I’m able to get down 2 protein shakes a day, crystal light & other fluids. Can’t wait til I see the true weight come off. I’m big on taking measurements & celebrating NSVs, but it was a shocker to see the weight gain after surgery. You can keep up with my journey on IG @CurlyGirl_GetsFit
  5. Thank you! I thought it was going to be a hard recovery for me, but it took me by surprise when I woke up from the anesthesia burping right away lol. I honestly got lucky cuz I know majority of people go through it badly
  6. I am. Clear liquids + my protein shakes
  7. Surgery went well on the 21st. I was about 97% gas pain free. It seems like I didn’t even have surgery. The main incision site hurts so much. I’m able to do a lot of things on my own. I guess I got lucky w| my recovery process as I can do a lot by myself than most ppl who just had the surgery. If you guys have IG, please follow me! @CurlyGirl_GetsFit ☺️
  8. Today is my SURGERY DAY! 12:30pm is my surgery time. Just here in the waiting room ‘til the call me back. Nervous but excited!
  9. Thank you. I appreciate it. I’m feel much better about the situation currently!
  10. I guess I was just making myself think it is worse than it actually is.
  11. I trust them. I just don’t like being in control (while falling asleep lol)
  12. I sure will tell them if I’m still feeling this way! Thank you
  13. Nice! I’m having mine in NYC ?. Best of luck to youu!
  14. As the 21st gets closer, I’m getting more nervous about having surgery. I think the main thing I am afraid of is being put to sleep. This will be my first surgery. How did you guys get over the fear of having surgery? Did they give you anything before surgery to relax you?
  15. Finally received my surgery date today & I’m having surgery August 21st. That day is even more special since it’s my mother’s birthday as well! Do I have a surgery date twin? Where are all my Aug 2019 cousins? It’s about to be our time! ?
  16. Congrats! Received mine today. Aug 21st !
