Pre op 1 week liquid diet

I just had my pre op tummy tuck appointment today and was told that tomorrow I start my liquid diet to clean out my body and have no bloating. I have to have low sodium low sugar. I can’t seem to find protein shakes that are low in sodium and I’m not sure what I will eat(drink) all week that will keep me full with energy to keep me up either my kids not pass out. Please if anyone else had to do something like this before surgery some liquids I should buy would help me so much. I start my diet tomorrow so I need to go buy something quick.

3 kids later — is a tummy tuck my only option for my belly button?

Give me some honest feedback! I’ve had 3 kids and am in pretty decent shape, but I swear \*\*the fitter/leaner I get, the worse my belly button area looks.\*\* 😩 I have some loose/creased skin around it that just doesn’t seem to change with exercise.

I also have an old belly button piercing, and honestly I feel like \*\*having the ring in makes it look better\*\* because it distracts from the area. 😂 But I’m wondering if the piercing itself could be contributing to how it looks or if I’m making it worse by keeping jewelry in?

For anyone who has dealt with this postpartum:

\\-Anything actually help besides surgery?
\\-Any exercises/treatments/skin tightening that made a difference?
\*\*-Is a tummy tuck really the only option at this point?\*\*
\\-And what do you think about the belly button piercing — helping or hurting?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s been through something similar!

TUMMY TUCK LIPO AND BREAST AUTO AUGMENTATION WITHOUT MR

I had my tummy tuck, with full back liposuction and breast auto augmentation. 3 kgs of stomach skin, 2 L lipo on the stomach, 7 L lipo on the back, 200 grams of breast tissue removed and skin.

I had my procedure on Wednesday, took 10 hours, Wednesday night and Thursday was super bad and painful, was regretting every bit of it.

I have been walking every hour since today morning which is Friday, and I feel so great, been walking on my own, sitting cross legged etc.

Swelling has kicked in but I was super active and used to lift super heavy, so I am able to lift my self on only my legs, which is helpful. I lost 30 kgs and I am 22!

Finally having my tummy tuck/muscle repair surgery after years of struggling with weight

Planning on having a tummy tuck with muscle repair and can't help but give Amy Schumer some credit for being here. I started following her after she admitted to having lipo while everyone was crediting green juice, workouts, long walks, and everything else. I admit her side effects on glps made me avoid that route altogether bcos I have a lot of gut issues as it is. I remember reading a lot on this and following both success stories and the struggles on here after she shared her journey.

I admit none of the ways to lose weight are easy. I have struggled myself FOR YEARS. I have finally shed 80lb, my weight is stable. My doc has given me the green light for surgery. And to think this journey for me started because one celebrity was honest about her journey
