“So Far So Good - Houston, TX”

Hello Chinadoll47,
That was how I was feeling. It did not matter what I was putting on even with a girdle I still had this spare tire that made me not wanting to go anywhere. I am glad I did it. Even less then a week after having it done I am feeling better.....

I looked at your pictures this morning girl and your stomach looks beautiful, i am so happy for you, i cant wait to get it done, i am going to post as time go on. i finish school in august and plan on doing it then so i can have as much time as i need to heal. i would love to do it in april when i have 2 weeks off of school but i dont think that will be enough time keep me posted on how your healing goes once again congrats and you are going to look so cute in the summer with all the cute tops you will be able to wear, WOW i'm soooooo jealous

Hey,
Thank you. I am still doing good and everyday I am more and more happier that I did it. I can't wait to see your pics and to know how it went. You will be in my prayers.

Hey Today was your day. I pray that everything went to according to plan....Let us know what is going on...Take care and with a speedy recovery.

Are you ready and excited for your big day coming?

I know right, and I cannot wait to be completely healed for the summer....I will be wearing things that I would not normally wear...I am feeling so much better about myself most importantly....Thank you (smile)

i guess we have to search for responses to our post! Thanks again for the Compression Garment info! I have posted 20 Days post op... How are you feeling? it's 5pm on a Saturday.. how is the healing coming for you? Any Scar Scares?

I am feeling ok. I am experiencing swelling on the upper part of my stomach. I had to go see my ps about it and he said that is was normal and everybody heal differently. I had a lot done and taken off. I guess,the areas where my lipo was done still is sore and swollen. I can't complain Katgirl I am still loving my new look, but I know I have a long way to go. Oh yea my scars are healing beautifully. At first I was worried about the dog ears but the are smoothing out and disappearing. Thanks.....I want to say that you look wonderful. Maybe you can give me some workout tips........ seriously.

ohh thank you !! yes i'll give you work out tips! it's all about the Calories believe it or not. I didn't want to believe it LOL .. if you go to your PS ask for a Precription of Phentermine! it'll help with that and shrink your tummy even more.. it makes you full and eventually after about a month or so, you really do not eat like you used to. Little things
chips.. don't eat chips instead eat an entire baked potato because it makes your stomach work harder and you burn more calories.. Now i know that 1000 calories sound like so little bit it's a lot! if you eat oatmeal with sugar and butter in the morning with an egg (salt/pepper no cheese) on top.. thats only 200 Calories. you're STUFFED!! but you still have to eat because if you dont, you'll gain weight! Eat Apples, Oranges as much as you want because they are fiber and they fill you up and help flush out a lot! .. Eat Lunch.. eat Lots and Lots of Salads but not a lot of RANCH !! because it's FATENING! Learn to love those Balsamic Vinigar dressings or those Strawberry balasmics or whatever.. you will learn to love them! stop eating that McDonalds.. don't you feel yucky after eating that stuff anyway? if you're going to eat something like that make sure it's something you're going to LOVE!! and i'm not saying that you can't have that stuff.. just not all of the time... eat soups for lunch and eat dinner.. whatever you want but if you're full .. Stop Eating!! if you like grapes.. eat a a few.. lots of Calories and sugars. i like ice cream/ cakes with icing.. i'm a junk food junkie and I LOVE Marshmellows.. yes.. Sweet Sweet Stuff.. but.. after i eat a spoonfull or something.. thats it .. put it up! .. also make sure that you walk/ jog/ do something!! i like hot yoga.. this core power yoga that has a bit more cardio to it.. you are sweating like crazy but you lose so much weight so fast and you're toned and not bulky.. eliptical trainer or something.. do something but make sure you're breaking a sweat.. if you're just casuallly walking, whats the point? put some pep in your step you'll enjoy walking and moving around.. if you hated cleaning.. learn to love it, you're really moving around and you're burning calories.. also this site that I found helps with calories.. you type in the brand or what you ate.. they calculate everything and tell you how much you have to eat to gget to your target as well as working out.. even to the amount of water you drink.. it really works! Let me know how things are going .. www.everdayhealth.com and click on the food journal. .well make sure that you register.. and it'll make sense! You can do this!!! Let me know how it goes and don't forget to ask about the phentermine ;) xx

Lol your sooo crazy... I'm trying to get rid of my boobies, you can have mine, lol. I know that that you are excited and anxious at the same time. But you will be glad you did it. I just want to lose about 20 pds. nothing more because I love my weight. I want to see and know how you are doing so keep in touch please amd thanks......
