Circumferential body lift

Yolanda71
Sooo here I am again. I had my sleeve surgery June 29, 2015. I reached my goal weight a while ago and have moved forward with cosmetic work. I had a circumferential body lift! I am a week post op at the moment. Surgery was 10/5/16. I am super excited to see the results. My surgeon was Dr Debra Johnson from Sacramento plastic surgery center. The process was smooth. All out of pocket as it was not covered by insurance but hope it will be worth it. I'm already loving my stomach. Will keep you posted.

So I'm home feeling fine for the most part. No pain. I am however still nauseous daily and on clear liquids! I spent am extra week in the hospital with no oral intake at all so I am a lil behind. I am currently 2 weeks post op and have (only) lost 12lbs. Not a bad number but I'm not sure how I feel about it. I haven't have anything but broth, water and juice for over a week. So one would assume that amount of loss to be normal. With the nausea I haven't been getting down the suggested calories or liquid amounts. Hoping to start the gym next week and full liquids including protein shakes. Loooking for a bigger scale jump. Wish me luck.

Sounds like you didn't have an easy time of it. Just think of it that the worst has now gone and only better times ahead. Good Luck and keep up posted.

Oh my goodness. Glad that you are home now, you will feel better just being out of the hospital. Liquids are important, so try your best. This is a short food stage, you can get through it. Take it slow at the gym, you probably don't have your strength back. When can you start with vitamins and supplements?

My Dr. said that your body will keep a hold of every calorie you take in for awhile. If it thinks it might not be getting any food, so it needs to keep in whatever you take in till it gets used to the new routine of a lot smaller amounts of food. It gets easier, just very different. Good Luck.
