Things I Want.....



Recommended Posts

So im almost 4 months out from surgery and almost to my personal goal.

I see my body changing in ways I dont like. I really want a TT, breast lift , my arms done and Brazilian butt lift.

When do you start checking into this?

I am young and have not had children yet, would you wait?

From what I have read on here most people wait till about a year out before they get surgery so maybe should start to look into plastics in about another 6 months at least...you wnt to be at maintenance first from what I understand...good luck on whatever you chose

i personally plan on waiting until after kids! They change your body completely and I would hate to have had all that work done to have my body change on me again but thats just my personal opinion :) Good luck in whatever you choose and congrats on your weight loss

Our surgeon recommends 1 1/2 years.

I'm 10 months out now and plan to start visiting surgeons at the end of this year (between a year& a yr 1/2 out). I'm wanting breast lift w/ implants & TT first (possibly lower body lift). Then later arms and thighs done. I also don't have children (and don't plan on having any anytime soon- maybe 6-10 years from now). I figured I deserve to look like a "normal" person for the rest of my 20's for sure. lol

Sometime being young has its advantage. The elasticity and collagen in the skin is much better when you are younger. Give it a little time before you decide to have plastic surgery. A lot of your skin might just go back into place with time. A Tummy Tuck will pull your stomach skin tight and also repair your loose ab muscles. However, a baby needs room to grow, which might stretch your skin again, cause stretch marks and ruin all of that beautiful surgery you have paid so much money for.

This is very true! I think I would wait until I have at least 2 children before I get any work done

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
