Update on My Plastic Surgery Journey: Eight Weeks Post-Op! 

Thank you- the body is amazing!!

Thank you! Glad you found my videos again 🙂

Thank you!!

Oh my gosh, I can not imagine how frustrating and scary that was with your surgeon not being able to complete your procedure. Hopefully you will have a smooth surgery and recovery this time. I am glad that you are enjoying my videos and good luck!!

Yay! I is so great when you finally got to eat "real" foods again. Congrats!

Hi there!! Before surgery, I wore a 3x top and size 22 jeans. My sizes haven't really changed since plastics- my clothes just fit differently and look better. I now wear a medium top in most clothing and a size 8 or 10 jeans.

@@kakisrnyjourney5376 Wow! Good for you! Im one year post op now and Ive only gone from a 20 to an 18/16 and a 2xl to a 1xl. Im still only eating about 1200 calories a day and am maintaining at a total of 62 pounds including pre op weight loss of 20 pounds. I only lost 42 pounds post op in a year. I cant figure out how someone who weighs 189 pounds can maintain that weight on 1000 - 1200 calories a day. Im 5'3". Ive had all the blood tests and a endoscopy and everything is checking out fine and healthy but I just didnt lose like most. I didnt have the kind of restriction most have in the beginning or even now (I had to start measuring out 3 oz of protein and 1/2 c veg at about 4 months PO to avoid eating too much and still do it), I didnt have a honeymoon period, typical dumping and I didnt lose a ton in the first 6 months like most. I lost slower than when Ive been on weight watchers or low carb, in the past. Im disappointed to say the least.

Absolutely! I will add this to my video list.

Congrats- this is awesome! I use the dermalogica line of moisturizers/skin care. Nothing specifically for the neck. I am getting some laxity as well- I think it is unavoidable 😞

My experience was that very minimal pain. My main problem was the swelling, but again it was tolerable. The key, I believe, was the surgeon using Exparel, which is a long acting surgical anesthetic. Be sure to ask your surgeon about it.

Hi you look fabulous! Congratulations on all the new clothing options. So glad your recovery went so well. Happy for you! The main area I’m not thrilled with are my thighs. They are smaller so pants are not an issue even slimmer profile styles. But shorts or swimsuit 😳 oh my! Sitting it looks ok but standing up… not cute. Have you done any research on procedures that may help with loose skin and that dimpling appearance of thighs? Was thinking maybe lipo is option around knees.
