Hi. I same the issues and had my full tummy tuck, breast lift and implant done 24 days ago. Feel free to email if you have any questions. Am actually doing great and have been back to work 2 weeks. Am hoping he'll let me back to the gym after today.

Wow 13 pounds is great. My surgery was the 30th and I got the drains out yesterday - talk about ouch.

Well its been 24 hours and I'm still pretty sore, but improving. The breasted lift and implants while swollen don't really bother me at all. The tummy tuck is another story. I have 2 drains and the doctor is keeping me bound till my post op tomorrow. I don't really know what I look like yet. You will definitely need…

Well surgery was done this morning been home for about 6-7 hours.

Surgery is in about 15 hours - so yeah am a little panic-y but dealing with really trying to get my life in order. Am gonna try to blog about it, but will keep you posted.

Me too. This Saturday I have my tummy tuck, lipo and breast lift and augmentation. I'm very nervous but excited. Am really stressed about stopping exercise. Not sure what to expect in terms of pain since it is so subjective. Will keep you posted

Well, regretfully I can't blame kids on all the lose skin. I'm having a tummy tuck and lipo next Saturday, June 30th. At the moment I'm scared to death, but very excited. I'll keep you posted.:happy:

This is me 100% and the hubby too. After I reached my goal weight and really started weight and strength training and quit smoking, I gained a few (20) pounds back and I have been fighting tooth and nail to get them off. Just feel like I'm on a quest that can never be accomplished....

I'm going to go ahead and put myself out there, because frankly I would love the feedback. I'm 5'8", 167, and 39 yo. BMR - 1511 TDEE - 2342 -15% cut is 1991 I have been doing 1500 base + eating back my exercise calories and my weight has been -8 pounds in the last 5 months. I am always starving - always. I eat pretty…

I would also call myself "large framed" at 5'8". I hit my goal weight of 148 last February from a high of 261. Then I focused on stopping smoking an gained 25 pounds. It's been a year ago today that I stopped smoking to the benefit of both my husband and myself. I'm stable of 166, and while I'd like to lose some more I…

April 30th will be one year smoke free. (20 year smoker 2 pack a day Marlboro Reds) I did the Chantix for 2 weeks, then an ecigarette for 2 weeks. The oral fixation is/has been the toughest. I quit only to support the hubby, since the MD said he was showing the early signs of emphasema. I've used healthy snacks (nuts,…

I do cardio for 60-90 minutes (ellipital & arc trainer) 5-6 days a week, then another hour of strength training 5 days a week. I also do hot yoga twice a week for an hour and am going to start a once a week Zumba program tonight. :smile:

I graduated in 1990, cant really remember how much I weighed, but I wore a ladies size 14/16 back then. Now even at 175 I wear a 4/6.

I just joined MFP, but would like to join the challenge. I have 5 days @ the gym, including today. (Yes, I was there on New Years day
