Post Op Day 17 - A post where I talk about my "Diet" since surgery.
Some of you may have read my very first post, where I talk about why I went on this TT journey. If not, I'm going to give you the condensed brief version: 3 pregnancies, 2 csections and then in a little over a year and half in 2012, I dieted and exercised down from 175 pounds to 120-125. I went from a size 14-16 to a size 4-6 at the peak of my physical fitness. So, basically I lost 50-55ish pounds on top of the 3 pregnancies. 120 was really too low for my height (5 foot 6) and found I was getting sick a lot so I went up to 125-130. Doctor ended up tightening ab walls again and then taking off a little over 2 pounds of skin from my stomach during TT.
ANYWAYS, present day. Between my consult in January and surgery in March, I was yo-yoing in weight from 135 to 139. It didn't bother me really. I was wearing size 10 jeans now (not the 6's anymore as due to heart issues, I am no longer able to do the high impact aerobics I did to lose weight, so hence, gained inches back as I was no longer toned as I used to be.... which reminds me, after I heal, I really need to find a low impact toning routine as I don't need to lose weight, I just want to tone) Anyways, wearing size 10 jeans cause my belly needed them. They were loose in the butt (I have no butt) and the legs (thin legs) but what could I do? That was my option. Dresses were out as you could see belly bulge.
In a nutshell, I have basically maintained my weight loss since 2012 due to the fact I learned how to cook healthy and I carried over the habits I learned over that year of my lifestyle change.
Since surgery????? OMG. I have been eating not well at all. I try to drink a slimfast once or twice a day but dinner? My portion sizes - way too big. I'm also not cooking dinner yet. I have a little, crockpot stuff, but I cook for a family of 7 so it's a pain as I have to have someone lift all my casserole dishes or crockpot out or the sack of potatoes etc. I am unable to lift this stuff yet without discomfort. So, hubby cooks majority of meals. Having Easter dinner recently hasn't helped. The worst part though??? I don't know why but when I am laying in bed at night, I am snack like CRAZY. Horrible stuff!!!!! examples? Sour Cream n Onion Chips, little bit of nacho's, Nutty Butty bars, Cheese and Crackers etc. Sometimes not just once snack, but two!!! One of my rules since weight loss??? (which I break every so often, even pre surgery - heck I'm only human) but a MAJORITY of the time - "Don't eat after 7pm and if you do, TRY to make it a healthy one." I am failing miserably at this. I know if I don't get back on track soon, I'm going to stretch my stomach out again (by this, I mean my actual stomach, where it holds more food and it takes more food to feel full) and I can gain weight. I was told by a tummy tuck vet to not even weigh myself for a month or two after surgery due to swelling and such so I have resisted the temptation but I don't know what is up with me and the raging appetite lately!!! Anyone else doing this??? If I'm the only one, I'm going to feel horrible LOL! ;)

Provider Review
Drain less full TT by Dr. Nachbar. Very nice man and he is very into safety before and after surgery for his patients. This man is a thorough surgeon. I'm 13 days post op but very pleased with results so far ! If you're interested in seeing what my journey with the Tummy Tuck was like, click on my user name. I tried to take pictures along the way to show the results.
