ChubRub

Good luck!!!!!!!

Pickle juice will help with the headaches!! Hang in there, it gets easier as your body (and mind) get used to it!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! You should be very proud of yourself!!!

Thanks for the info!! I ordered several a few weeks ago, but they haven't arrived yet. They have at least kept me advised, and send me an email about once a week letting me know that the order is being processed but they are experiencing delays due to COVID19. I'm a huge fan of chaffles, and want to try the different flavors on my chaffles!

Would love to hear what you think after your consult! I was a 34D in my 20s, then went up to a 42H as I piled the weight on, had kids, etc. My boobs have deflated, but are still way too big. I'd really like a breast reduction, but then have an implant put in for some upper area fullness. Would love to be a 34D again if possible after I lose all this weight!

Since I have nothing better to do during COVID19, I scheduled a virtual consult with my favorite surgeon (he's one of 4 that I really like). I told the office that I still have 35lbs to lose, and won't be looking to schedule until 2021, and they said that this is a good time to do the consult as the surgeon is booked through November anyway. So I sent naked pics of myself, and will have a video chat on Friday! Ahhh!!!

I also have a bunch of lap scars. Fun thing will be that when the skin is pulled down and cut off, a lot of those scars will end up in the surgeon's trash can! LOL!! I just want the flab gone too!!

How about trying some of the higher calorie Ensure drinks? So you can increase your calories, but still get lots of nutirients?

Congratulations!!!

Hello and Welcome!!! Congrats on your success so far!!!

My nutritionist told me that if any time, I felt uncomfortable or that food was disagreeing with me, to go back to the previous phase for a week or 2 and then try again later. Sounds like maybe you should stick to thick liquids for another week while your body continues to heal? Best of luck to you!!

I'm sorry that your friends aren't being supportive. Use it as motivation and prove them WRONG by being successful after surgery and hitting all of your personal goals! Best of luck to you!!

@Darktowerdream Wow!!! June 15th will be here before you know it! I'm so excited for you!! Please keep us posted on your progress!!!

@catwoman7 - Funny you mention belly buttons! That is the first thing I look at, b/c there are some funky ones out there!! I'm 47, so I don't want to wait too long for a MMO, b/c I really want to rock a bikini and not look like an old lady! ha ha ha!! Agreed with you ladies on not having to go back for additional surgeries! I want it all done at once!! I kind of even want a chin implant (I hate my small chin), if the surgeon would be willing to do it while I get the MMO!

Are you thinking about staying local or traveling for PS? I always just assumed I would stay local, but none of the docs here seem to specialize in tummy tucks or MMO. I want an artist!!!

My initial consult was a class, and there were 5 of us in attendance. A nurse led the discussion with a power point presentation, about the various surgical options, what to expect, etc. She also discussed insurance requirements, and gave us a checklist of pre-op testing that needed to be completed to get insurance approval. From there, we were taken back individually to get weighed in, meet with the nutritionist, and then the doctor. After I was done, I was given an appt to see the nutritionist the following month, and was off an running to get everything done on my checklist!

I'm still 36lbs away from my goal weight of 130, and once I get there, I might want to drop the goal to 120. I've just started researching plastic surgeons, joined some FB groups, and it's easy to become obsessed!! I'm obviously going to weight until I hit goal to start setting up any consults, but man I can't wait!! I have 4 Miami surgeons that I'm interested in so far, but then I'll see someone else's photos and want to add their surgeon to my list!

Congrats and Welcome!! You look amazing, and so happy too!!

Weakness and fatigue are very common. Take lots of naps! When you are awake, that's when it's time to sip, sip, sip!! You can do this!!

Hang in there!! Keep weighing yourself and watching those pounds melt away! Enjoy the sugar free popsicles too!

Hang in there and I hope you feel better in the morning!! Best of luck to you!!

Hello and Welcome!!! Best of luck to you, and I look forward to following your progress!

I'm so sorry!! The fact that you are posting about it, must mean that you are feeling motivated to turn things around. Get back on your pre-op fitness plan, eating right, exercising, etc. Set a goal to lose a certain about of weight before your surgery. You can do this!!!

I don't eat rice, but find that quinoa is a great replacement! Some people like riced cauliflower too. I haven't tried it yet!

Congratulations!! As others have already said, you are doing GREAT!!!!
