Lower Body Lift - Illinois MORE AFTER PICTURES

Wishing you a safe and successful surgery tomorrow. Rest up and try not to be nervous. Easier said than done, right?

Hi! Your arms are looking SO good!! Glad you're not hurting so much. That's great. There will be little things that will happen along the way, not setbacks, just healing and the process. Stay positive with those and look at the bigger picture as I know you are. I tried to get a high protein diet in before surgery. I found a good protein powder with high protein and low carb. I made smoothies using Greek yogurt with it. I, too, noticed some hair loss so I made sure to keep the protein up even after surgery. It helps your body heal too. I'm excited for the next part of your journey!

Thank you, Missy_Belle.

www.loseit.com is also on the computer. You are able to sync it with your phone. Very easy!! You can program your goals the way you'd like. Long ago, after I'd had my first baby, I lost weight and my body transformed when I ate differently from week to week. Meaning high carb, protein or fat then low carb, protein or fat, etc. I think I tricked my body. Now, to maintain my weight, there is no way I can eat the calories that are recommended. I tailor my intake and am weighing myself to make sure I'm doing OK. Look up the loseit.com. The biggest drawback is you have to enter food for a while BUT they have changed a lot and can now use the bar code. Oh...and if you don't already have a food scale you should get one. I think portion control is a key ingredient in losing and maintaining. You'll do it!! You've gone through a lot and are on a good path to staying healthy!! = ) When I do my arms I am standing and doing my biceps different ways to get the full muscle and then I do my triceps. Maybe some shoulder work. If I feel my implants moving I don't do it. Your doctor's comment made me laugh! I guess he/she's right but I think keeping that chest muscle toned is a good thing but...not if it means displacing the implant! ; )

I honestly can't remember when the swelling went down. It wasn't that long after surgery. I tool a picture of my hand (my left was way worse). What helped me was resting it a little raised. As for the pulling, it was on and off. I'm almost 5 months out and it has been good for a long time. I am wondering if you are swelling so much in your elbows and lower because of work? If you are able to move around, walk and drink lots of fluids I think it would help.
