147lbs!

WORTH IT$18,000
Wow.. I'm shrinking fast. My original pants still fit, but the scale shows I'm down a lot and my t-shirts are huge on me now. I just bought size 8 t-shirts and they are too big.
I could probably fit into a size small compression garment now,
Another 12 Lbs and I'll be back to my pre-baby weight!

Good to hear you don't have an infection. You look amazing!

I've been checking occasionally on you and your healing journey and I'm glad you're doing well. I have 38 days until my surgery and I've decided to do the breast lift, breast aug with silicone rounds and lipo on my abdomen and hips. I'm excited and so nervous at the same time. Are there any lists of items that you would recommend that you wish you could've had or better assist you? Can't wait for your next update! You look great and I'm so happy I chose Dr. hochstein. I feel so much more comfortable actually commenting with someone who was a patient of his.

Hi! Sorry I hadn't seen this comment earlier. Make sure to have that medical chair... You may not need it as much as I did with a tummy tuck, however it helped so much! You will ooze a lot the first day or so from the lipo so have pads down and lots of towels you can swap out to cover your medical chair. I took lots of vitamins, I wrote the list below, also a senna tea like smooth move or apple pectin supplements help you go to the bathroom. You'll want to take something because the pain meds will constipate you. I was nervous too.. I cried on the way there! So unlike me... But now I am so happy I went through with it because I was so unhappy with my post-baby body! I feel like a new chicky again. :)

Pre-pregnancy "fat clothes"' FIT!!!
cliquot333April 3, 2014
Okay. So.. Today I felt brave enough to try on some old clothes from my pre-mama days. I weighed 150 yesterday. I felt so happy to see how close I am to the 140s again.
My Bebe flare jeans - size 31 buttoned. So did my H&M size 8 vest! AND I tried on my old bikini top... 34D it is!!! I'm a 34D.. Changelujah.
Wow. What a journey this has been. I'm still mega swollen. I know by mid-summer I will be a size 6.. Maybe even a 32D.
Everything is healing great.. The first small opening closed and the second is now scabbing and starting to close as well. I was freaked out after reading so many horrifying stories that began with the incision opening.. So I went to the ER to be safe and had a CAT scan. I have no infection and all is well! It's better to be safe than sorry. Lenny was right! Its perfectly normal.
My next challenge is to clean up my diet, get rid of bad carbs, and start running! The office said I could start working out in another 2-4 weeks.
