Good Morning. Well I am 2 days out from my thigh lift. The percocets are making me itch alllllll over, it's driving me crazy. Hubby is picking me up some benadryl after he gets off of work. The nightmares from the percs are not fun either. I am pleasantly surprised how easy the thigh lift was and is. I can walk, although I am only walking to the bathroom. I am really swollen, I didn't have drains for the thighs and am up 7 pounds since day of surgery eeek. I know it's Fluid since I really haven't eaten much at all. I did ask my doc about my left puckered boob. He took a look at it and said that the puckering is where my old crease was, the puckering will go away within 6 months as the implant pushes down on it. Whew that was a relief. My thighs don't hurt they just kinda burn. And only after I get up to go to the bathroom. They feel great as I am laying down. I did get another urinary trach infection, I must be allergic to the catheter. Well, I am going to go take a snooze. Have a great day.

Allie, I am glad your surgery went well. Have you asked if there is any other pain meds you can take. I hate to think you have to experience the nightmares and itching. There should be SOMETHING else that will be good enough and not affect you like that. :biggrin:

Hey there. Well, I am getting pretty miserable. Just laying in bed being helpless is so frustrating. My doc says I can't do stairs and since I am on the third floor I am pretty much stuck. I am weaning off the percocets, the itching and nightmares were to much. The pain isn't bad just really sore and uncomfortable. The scars are alot higher and farther back then I thought they would be. I do love how my thighs look, not to tight and not to loose. I had alot more Lipo done and wow are they sore. I am still taking the antibiotics for the urinary trach infection.

so today I had a really rough day. My daughter kelsey was supposed to help me out today and totally bailed on me. I went all day until 4 with no food at all. She thought someone was coming to stay with me. I almost had a nervous breakdown. I was starving and really frustrated. I am really emotional here lately. I know it's just from being through so much in the last couple of months. well, I am going to get some sleep. Wish me sweet dreams lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
