I got a call yesterday from the plastic surgeons office that my panni will be postponed until March 2010 due to OR issues.  Im slightly pissed off but on a positive note, it will give me more time to work on my abs and get my muscles in the best shape i can.  The wait is always the worst, hopefully its worth it.

I am getting a panniculectomy on Feb 5, 2010.  Anyone have one????  I am wondering what kind of results to expect?   Thanks to anyone who responds.

I know i dont post often but beleive me im here reading and learning all i can from my oh family.  Today after 3 weeks of struggling with the same 5 lbs. i finally made it to 198.5.  That makes a total of -131.5 lbs lost in 9 months,  I have about 40 or so to lose and i know it will come off slow but im going to make it!!  Thanks everyone for filling my head with all your personal experiences and knowledge, it has been a godsent!!

Well, what can i say, it been a ride, not that much fine but a ride just the same.  Just waiting to feel well again, Anybody else 4 months out and still feel like crap? 

well its been 12 weeks already and i am down 72 lbs.  I am having right sided pain under my ribs so went to emergency, they ordered an ultrasound, results were my gallbladder is full of sludge but they wont do anything until the sludge turns to stones, something to look forward to, not!!  I had a ct of my abdomen as they could not get a good look at my pancreas as it was hiding, lol.  hopefully that turns out ok, i just had it today so will take about a week to get results.  Thanks for listening.
take care everyone.

Well, as of today i am 63 lbs out, i cant see that much of a difference although everyone else around me sees it.  I guess we are always most critical of ourselves.  I sure hope my mind catches up with my body in the end.

Well here i am two weeks out and on the pureed phase of life.  Its really not that bad, sure beats the full fluids!, lol.  I have to try and get in more water, im certainly not drinking enough.  Tommorow i will start walking on the treadmill and hope to do it at least 4 - 5 times per week. Im not ready for lifting yet but for now the treadmill will do, still too icy outside to walk outdoors.
Thanks to everyone for all of your support during this trying time, what a ride!!

Well, i am two weeks out on friday and i am still not getting in enough protein, im trying but i simply cant get it all in.  I have lost 30 lbs to date, im happy about that  but wondering if i will ever feel good again, everyone says i will, im just wondering when???  I tried pureed tuna today and my stomach was sore and sick immediately, i didnt think two days would make a difference, apparantly it does.  I will try again on friday.

take care everyone and thanks for everyones support, i sure need this site to vent because no one really understands what this is like except those who have gone through it!!

thanks again,

Louise

I had my surgery last Friday, March 13, 2009.  For the first four days i regretted it.  I felt so crappy, sore, tired, gas pain+++, didnt want to eat or drink at all, i had to force myself to get something into me.  Today, March 21, one week later i am feeling a little better.  Just one oozing site that is settling down a little.  On a positive note i lost 11.2 pounds in a week.  Thats not counting the 12 i lost before the surgery so i feel preety good about the surgery today.  We shall see what tommorow brings.  Thanks all for your wonderful support during this transition, what a ride!!!!
