Hey Ladies, I too am three years out in July! I am scheduled for my lovely Budha belly removal and Tummy Tuck on June 8th. Two weeks later I will be getting a breast lift with implants. I appreciate all the tips for the Tummy Tuck. Any tips for a breast lift? Prayers will also be appreciated!

The PS I spoke with didnt recommend one but told me that he expected me to get 100 grams of protein a day. At the store I go to they have ABS Protein shakes. Two hundred and fifty calories and 50 grams of protein. Two shakes and I will meet my quota. Hope this helps.

Today is my day to join the Onederland club! I'm so tickled I just want to shout it out to the world!:frown:

Congrats on the 130! Thanks for your glowing recommendation. I will be in the show on May 1, 2010. Hopefully, I will see your face in the audience for support!

Can I join! I am officially 100lbs down from my highest recorded weight! Feeling Great and looking forward to what life brings instead of living in the way past when I used to be healthy. I'm so there and getting better everyday!!!!

Ladies you don't know just how much Julie is an inspiration and a beautiful person. My decision was already made when I saw one of Julie's post on LBT. She is the mother of one of my daughter's friends. When I found out she was banded I sent her a message and she has been there every step of my journey. I was banded 7/29/08 and with her support and advice I have lost 50 lbs post-op. Thanks Julie for being such a great mentor and friend!

A week after having lapband surgery, I had surgery on my foot for a hammerhead toe. When I came to I said "Where is he?" To which the happy juice guy said "Who me?" I said "No! I want the chocolate one! He was fine!" They told me they would get him and I would see him in recovery. Thank God I never did because as soon as I realized what I said, I was super embarassed!

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone works at at Lifestyle Family Fitness in Columbus. I work out at the Henderson location and would like to know if someone going thru what I am going thru works out there as well. PM me if you do. If anyone is interested in working out at the Lifestyle Family Fitness Henderson Club I can hook you up with a free one month membership with no hassles from the sales guy. PM me if you are interested in that as well. Cindy

Julie, You go Girl! You know I'll be talking to you about your experience with Dr. Shah. I got a chance to relook at the CD and OMG I feel like the before picture and I still have mucho weight to lose. Can't imagine what I will look like 6 months from now. You keep up the great work! You are a true inspiration to many.

Ladies congratulations on all the shopping sprees. I am waiting til Christmas money to go shopping. I may have go before then. This weekend while cleaning up my parents spoiled food mess from no electricity for seven days, my pants fell down. Thank God I had on spandex shorts underneath but what a great feeling to have my pants literally falling off me. :redface:

Hey Y'all, When I first started going back to the gym I became really tired. I started taking B12 vitamins on top of my pre-natal vitamin. It has really helped. The question I have for you is what kind of Calcium supplement do you take? :smile:

I dont have a tatoo but when a read about someone putting one on their scar, I thought it would be fun to have a sunflower. The inner part of the flower would go directly over my port if possible and the stem along the rest of the scar line. Who knows I may just do it.:tongue:

Just one more opinion. I am a single mom of a very very very ADHD active seven year old. My sister and brother-in-law took my daughter and added her to their family of five boys and a girl plus my dog for the first week of the surgery. It was fantastic! (She had an absolute ball becoming part of a big family instead of being an only ) I only had to worry about myself and was home alone. Friends called to see how things were and to be honest I was less stressed being by myself than having to worry about any possible messes my daughter could create. My vote would be to have the grandparents take care of your toddler and you enjoy being pampered by your husband or enjoying the peacefulness of the house when he isn't there.:biggrin2:

I had my surgery the 29th and was back working out 6 days later. Im a teacher too! I think you will fine at the Staff Development Days. You might be a little tired. I feel like I finally got my energy back at 2 weeks. If you are still on liquids and are allowed to drink 100% no sugar added Apple Juice do it. It will help. Also B12 vitamins are great to add some energy. Depending on what grade you have will also play a part in it. I don't have kids til the 15th of September so I should be more than ready to go. I teach pre-K so I made sure I would be past my recovery before taking on 20 four year olds. You will do great!
