It is because you are eating less, and like Allie Coffee helps.
Dye test was done on day three, had to swallow some foul tasting stuff and you had to stand up whilst they were doing it whilst they did xrays
No Restrictions other than the normal lifting ones for surgery. I have done so much in the last two years. Including stuff like riding Billy Pugh's for work.
Had drain and dye test.
Over two years after my surgery, I have lost weight everywhere the inner thighs and hips are the places that haven't moved alot. I have lost it in my arms etc.
I ended up having to have the excess skin removed it was causing me issues from a health perspective. It isn't a decision to take lightly as it is painful, good pain relief helps. I had to walk...
I have had the excess skin removed I have a scar that is hidden by underwear from hip to hip it is slowly fading. The scar will depend on your surgeons ability and your skins pigment. I have an...
Hi
From Western Australia, Sleeved Jan 2009 welcome aboard
Toni
goodluck Sandy, I am so looking forward to your return.
I found it alot easier once I moved on to fish, meat etc as I found I just couldn't stomach (Pardon the pun) the protein drinks at all. I actually threw them up. I ended up having things like...
Hi I to am from WA, My doctor was great and I used the same one to do my tummy 18 months later. One thing I will say is if you eat the wrong food and fail to exercise you can put on weight. Just...
Goodluck Mike, I hope you will be as happy with your results as I have been with mine.
Hi Bob,
Don't push things you are still in early days and your stomach is still healing and swollen, you will be able to eat a little more as the swelling goes down. If you feel full put the...
In the last couple of years I have eaten out both overseas and in Australia, by standing in line do not think kfc or anything like that Scotty it was a proper restaurant and I was lined up to be...
Never was able to hold down the protein shakes, just made me feel awful no matter how i hid it I could still taste it. I ended up giving all of my protein shakes to my dietician and went with eggs. ...
:D I think I am the other one re the entree thing Di, In Australia and Entree is the course before the main, our starters are like canapes etc.
Scotty, my doctor gave me a letter like that a few...
Take your time eating, your stomach is still swollen and healing, the uncomfortable feeling is normal, I still get it when I eat to much. I would still suggest you have a chat to your Doc or support...
I agree with di. I have alwAys ordered entree instead of mains, get nice healthy food. Avoid the likes of Macdonalds, kfc etc. Try local takeouts rather than chains. Fish and chips go for grilled...
Unless you have brilliant genetics, the simple answer to this question is most likely no. most of us who have this surgery have spent a lot of years yo yo dieting, over time the skin loses it's...
I had the tummy tuck done, I would do it again, the loose skin doesn't shrink back. Especially as you get past thirty and into your forties. I did exercise to no avail, now I have abs.
You...
Get your blood sugar checked as well. I get dizzy spells if my sugar levels are low. I have fairly low blood pressure normally.
If you have access to microwave take an egg a small bowl some milk salt and pepper scramble the egg use plastic wrap to cover while doing it I think from memory I egg can be done in about 30 secs...
Jersey I am glad to hear the Doc is looking after you, it will get better the exhaustion does subside. Get the docs advice on what Vitamins might help you, even two years later I still need my...
It was the same for me bob and that is the only reason this surgery should be done, this surgery is too serious to do for cosmetic reason. The first reason for doing this should be to improve your...
