fingers crossed this will be my last surgery come hell or high Water

@ @@Djmohr et al

3rd time is the charm!!!

thank goodness!!!!

saw doc yesterday

including DOS, it's only been 6 day since magic!!!

in and out surgery (never had that with any of alllll surgeries)

things went well :rolleyes:

surgery, recovery about 2 hours

after pain meds wore off

breasts felt very tighttttt, they really hurt

within 2 days i could feel the improvement

every day better and better (like the sleeve)

my chose of breast size is medium

when i was heavy, they were big by nature

now, they feel and look great

wearing a special bra 24/7

that's ok - i have to heal

see the doc again in 2 weeks

by then, hopefully no more special bra

i temporarily am sleeping on a big

wedge, with a pillow

not uncomfortable - i always sleep on side

sleeping on my back is weird

3 surgeries are a lot to go through

but at the end of the day - it was definitely worth it!!!!

almost 5 years PO - 105 lbs weight loss - two new girls, life is good

i look cute a button

hmmmm, maybe cuter?? :lol:

nawwww, that would be too much to handle LOL

thanx all for your good thoughts - they helped

You'll be lucky to get rid of the surgical bra at only 3 weeks out. I had to wear mine 24/7 for 8 weeks! It was the worst. Every woman knows that feeling where you can't wait to take your bra off after having worn it for like 16 hours? Well I had that feeling every second of ever day for weeks and weeks! But it was all worth it in the end and it will be for you too!

doc told me to be "lazy" around the house - NO sweeping, vacuuming, cleaning floors etc til i fully heal!!!/feel better

hubby always comes to my appt - doc told HIM to clean up for a while (i slipped doc a $20.00 to say that) LOL

i'll give him another $20.00 next appt if he tells DH to clean up for the next YEAR - isn't bribery great!!!

Yahoo for the girls!!! So glad you are doing well!!!

Kristen - thanx for your nice thoughts - i've led a sheltered life - before i came to this board - i never heard the expression "the girls" -_- amazing what i've learned here LOL - even learned about food and nutrition LOL

worth it in the end and it will be for you too!

Jamie, thanx - relieved everything eventually did work out for me- concerned/scared that they wouldn't!!! - alls well that ends well (i love all those silly cliches')

You deserve it! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

@@OutsideMatchInside (don't know your first name( boo boo!!)

silly head, of course i deserve it!! (we all do) ;)

feeling better, stronger every day - living the dream i never knew existed!!!

@ - thanx for appreciating what i'm going through - even though you are JUST a dude! LOL

      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? 🤷‍♀️
