4 More Days Until My Tt!



Recommended Posts

I am so flooded with emotions right now....nervous, anxious but still very excited! I am a planner by nature so I have cooked tons of band friendly, high Protein foods and froze them, done all my laundry, done grocery shopping, filled my prescriptions, etc. I am now just waiting, waiting, waiting. I just want this behind me now so I can just recover and look forward to a fun summer. I am not sure if I will have the courage to post before pics because I HATE my saggy, floppy stomach right now. Maybe I will get the courage to post some after ones....wish me luck!

Best of luck to you! Wish I had the courage to do it. But, I am 63 years old, and don't like pain. I just have to deal with the puochy belly. Karen

you're gonna be so excited you are going to want to post the pics. You will not care what your before pic looked like because you will be so excited that isn't how you look anymore. Believe me, I felt the same way. I was super excited about my results and couldn't wait for my after pics.

Good luck, speedy recovery and congratulations.

I'm with you hun. Thursday will be a blur and by Sunday you'll start to feel human again. You already look fabulous! Imagine how you're going to feel without that extra skin.

Take care and let me know if you need anything.

So one more day and it's your big day! Take care, and rest. You're in very good hands with Dr. H.

Drop me a line or post when you feel up to it so that I'll know you're doing well.

You already look fabulous! This is the icing on the cake.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and I know that the first couple of days are pretty uncomfortable, but it gets better each day after that. And, it's so worth it!

You're very fortunate to be able to have this surgery.

Keep smiling teeth_smile.gif . I'll see you on the other side - the side with the flat tummies.

So I am home and doing well. Took 4 pounds of extra skin off. Took my 1st shower today and feel a bit more human. The pain is very manageable too. I check in with the surgeon on Wednesday and will hopefully get a clean bill of health and one of the drains removed. Thanks for all your support!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
