Those new ta-ta's of yours are very cute and perky! I haven't seen perky since the 1960's...

I've got a ways to go before doing more than contemplating the idea of needing PS some day, but the amount of detail you post here is invaluable.

@@2goldengirl Thank you. I'm rather fond of the girls. When your time comes hopefully you can be prepared and not have to stress as much as I did. :) I was basically on my own.

PS: I'm not sure what size these boobs are? If I had to guess I'd say a full c cup. I will have to wait until I'm healed to have them measured to know for sure.

Just as reference these were 3 of the examples of what I DID NOT want. Mine is top left. Top right : The scar line in my opinion was too high. The belly button is not natural looking. A dead giveaway. Having darker belly button skin used in that big of a circle was a NO NO! Bottom left: Same thing only worse! I would have been livid had I woke up to a scar like that. I wanted a nice space between my scar and belly button so to be able to hide it in most clothes. If I decide some day I want to wear a shorter cropped shirt there is no way to do that with that scar unless you wear high waisted pants. No thanks. It looks weird to me. Bottom right: I did NOT want a straight across scar. I wanted it curved. Again to be able to hide in smaller clothes. Top left: Mine! Low curved scar with a natural looking belly button higher away from the scar line. Of course mine was only a day old there so I have a lot of healing to do but it should only get better. No dark belly button cut and skin. I would not have approved of any of those belly buttons. You wouldn't think that was important until you start researching and see what a difference the belly button can make. She does do some of the best belly buttons in our town, so I found out. The most natural looking. Mine still has stitches that will be removed next week. So see I was very meticulous and it was all my preference. Others may see these and think they are great. The people who own them hopefully love them but they weren't for me. Once I get my tape off I will show you guys the actual scar. Also my belly is swollen more on one side than the other so it almost looks like my belly button is off centered. I can assure you it's not. The swelling is pushing it to one side a bit more. Point being don't be afraid to take as many photos as you wish as references to what you want. The more the better IMO.

Ya, ewww, what's with the dark skin around the belly button?? I never saw that before! Yours looks amazing. All that research and voicing precisely what you wanted definitely paid off!

@TheRealMeIsHere! I'm not sure what it is. It looks like the surgeons are cutting the initial hole too big and then they are stitching the belly button on top of the hole instead of from the inside to make it more natural appearing. That's my best guess. I'm not a PS but that's what it looks like. I think there's an art to it. Someone who hasn't had Plastics yet may not even ever consider a belly button as a real part of the surgery but it is. When done right it should look esthetically pleasing and not such a dead give away that something has been done. You can tell that from a ways away.

Thank you. I'm ready to close up the loose ends, too. Ready to be done, done, freaking done with the weight issues and the physical reminders of it.....and get on with living a lean life.

I'm happy for your results. Keep on inspiring and coaching and living the example of somebody who took matters into her own hands and made a change !!!

Huge respect.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
