Checking in with everyone!  Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers!

I had my Extended TT at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NYC on Wednesday morning at 9:00AM. My wonderful surgeon was Dr. Matthew Schulman of Madison Avenue Plastic Surgery.

First, let me begin by saying what a professional and courteous hospital staff.  I was a bit nervous because I didn't hear the best about Mt. Sinai...but they were wonderful!  My procedure went off on time and without any problems!

As soon I was feeling up to it I was discharged (around 4PM) I couldn't wait to get home to rest in my own house!

I feel pretty good.  I'm taking my pain meds pretty regularly.  They have been keeping me awake.  But I prefer to have little pain! I also have a pain pump.  One drain is barely producing any fluid.  The other one is putting out a large amount of fluid.

I have my follow-up on Tuesday morning.  Dr. Schulman will remove the pain pump and probably one drain at this time.  Looking forward to seeing my new Tummy!

Thanks again for all the advice and kind words!

So I'm having a Tummy Tuck at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City next Month.  I'm a bit nervous....but more excited!  Anyone have any words of advice for me?

Hi everyone!  I  know it's been a while!!   I've kinda been at the same place for about 6months. I need to get backon track.  I've remained within the same 3 pound range.  I would love to lose another 40 lbs.  I am planning on having a Tummy Tuck in July ('09) so I need to lose as much weight as possible!   I am looing to all of you for suggestions, comments, and advice!  Hope to be hearing fromyou all soon!!

Hey all!   I'm down 65 pounds and steadily approacing the 100 's club!   I haven't been under 200 in over 10 years!   I can't wait!

Things are going ok... except for the hair loss.  I can't complain!   I've been going to the gym about 3-4 times a week.  I feel good!

I'll check in again soon!

Things have been going ok.....  I've lost 46 pounds to date.  I feel great!  A bit tired here and there (Not enough protein).  
I've been trying a few new things and sadly some have not done so well by me (eggs & grilled chicken) to name 2.  I had the foamies a few times and had to grt rid of a few things.  I hate this feeling.

I really miss some of my favorites!  But I am still working through my "Break-up" with food.  I hope as time passes my pouch will get less sensative to some of the things I love.

I really miss salads!!

Check in with you all soon!!!

I was at the 5 week mark on Wednesday and down 35 pounds!   I'm feeling good.  I've been going to the gym doing the tredmill and elliptical machines.

I can't wait to do weights, yoga and pilates.  My doctor says I havce to wait unti 8 weeks NO EXCEPTIONS.

I really miss Salads and steak!!!

I've bought a few great things to wear.  I'm starting to really notice a difference!

I'm 2 weeks post op and feeling better and better each day!

I'm getting so tired of eating MUSH!!!!

I do notice that the difference in the timing for moving on to different stages varies greatly depending on your Doctor or Nutritionist's Reccommnedations!

I'm doing my best to try to vary what I'm eating but... it's hard!

I know I have to just make it through the first 3 months!!!

1 WEEK Anniversary!  Got my drains out!  Down 13 pounds!  I had a few bad days of queezy belly but It seems to be getting better!

Now I am enjoying puree foods!  

Check back with you soon!

I was supposed to go home today, but I had a low grade fevor.  So hopefully I will go home tomorrow!  I'll keep you posted when I get home!

Feeling good!  

Thanks for the thoughts, messages, & prayers!
