Tummy tuck today!

[gamergirl 4,610]

I will happily let him come visit his aunt Hershey for the holidays. Do not come crying to me when he humps your favorite pair of shoes.

My favorite pair of shoes are now too big for me. Someone might as well get off on them since they're not doing ME much good

Ok, just have to ask. How, exactly, did you get your cat to bite the drain tube? I'm done with mine and dr. isn't pulling it till Tuesday. I'm thinking Peanut Butter, might work, and here kitty kitty!! Of course, I'm kidding.....or......maybe not LMAO!!

How are you doing/feeling??

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

My measurement changes daily due to swelling. Funny thing is my waist is not smaller but photos make me look more hourglass shaped. They are all nekkid so I can't post them. Soon as the last drain comes out I will get bikini shots and measure agAin.

I flew back yesterday and blew up like a balloon. I haven't had cankles since I was pregnant but I had them yesterday. I was brave and weighed this morning.. still under goal but 7 pounds higher then when I went to Mexico. If he took 5.5# of skin that means I gained 12.5# in 2 weeks. I ate very very healthy and low to moderate carbohydrate the whole time but I was super hungry and ate frequently. Doc said so many procedures and my body needed double calories the first week. I am sure most of the gain is Water but I am puzzled that other r s report low appetites and losses.

Anyway back home and watching the sodium so I expect this to sort out fine but I am wondering... part of the scary part is I normally workout alot and of course I am in the lounge around plan. So, do I cut calories or ?

I have no idea what possessed him. I think he mistook it for a mouse's tail.

My waist is very close to my presurgery measurement as well, but I look completely different and clothes for completely different. So I think this is normal. I'm getting smaller slowly as swelling goes down, but I don't think I'm going to go down too much smaller.

I will say, I came home from the hospital about 3 pounds heavier than when I went it. Now I'm about 8 pounds lighter....he said he removed 6 pounds. That first 7-10 days I didn't have much appetite. Then it shot up. And I've been eating heartily. Almost badly a few days. But still holding that weight. I was petrified that the lack of exercise would equate to weight gain....so far it's not happening. I would definitely say don't reduce calories unlessl you see your weight going up. You want your body to have adequate calories to heal.

I could not eat for a few months after my LBL. It is getting a little better. I lost weight. Worried my PS because he said I needed to EAT! I an still having problems, but I am sure it will improve with time.

I am sure our bodies just craves what it needs. :-)

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

This is what i expected too! crazy. i think i am the only one who experienced no appetite drop.

My thirst is very high too but the Water weight is dropping already. Yes I have been tested for blood sugar and its very good. I am just sticking high Protein low carb and Miralax and hope for the best.

Alright....and here is the dreaded before and current.

Holy crap, man, you look awesome! Congrats on your surgery - I haven't been around much lately but saw a post somewhere that you'd been sliced and diced and had to hunt down this thread to see it. Can't wait to see how those scars heal up. And I'm so jealous that all of you "newbies" are getting plastics before me! I need to just do it but I think I'll just research for another year first....

Thanks....I waited for you as long as I could.

Frankly I was going to wait a while longer, but a perfect window of opportunity popped up and I jumped on it.
