Recovering from Plastics
Hi Everyone, I am not sure who here has had plastics, but I am looking for some advise, or just to know I am not alone.
I feel blessed that I was able to have plastics, but recovery is rough!!
I am a month post op from a thigh lift and anchor cut TT, my incisions are opening up and I have had many infections, and I am now on my 4th round of antibiotics.
I can hardly eat anything right now, and have had trouble finding a tolerable (and lactose free) protein supplement. My PS suggested supplementing until I can eat more...added to that I haven't been able to be active lately and I need help getting into some kind of gentle routine.
I want to make the most of my new start, and I really see plastics to be a rebirth for me. I am stuck and I don't know how to get unstuck
Any advice out there?

Sorry to hear you have a rough time of it with the plastics, but on the positive side of things, Yeh for you on getting plastics. Just think of how hot you will look with your new, flat stomach.
I wish I had suggestions to help but I am trying to get my kids through school before I start looking into plastics.
Stay positive, you will get through this!

I had staph infections with 2 of my plastics.
One opened up , my TT . It was aweful . I had to have it packed every day .. and the scar it left is hideous . My suggestion to you is to go buy those protein bullets. They are used for bariatriacs but where developed for burn victims and their infections . Profect are the name of the bullets .. they are 24 grams of protein . Or you can do Nectar .. but the protein is VERY IMPORTANT in your healing . I would never show the pics to anyone of my incision that opened up .. but for those that do not believe it can happen ... it can . My plastics where a nightmare .. but I am healed now .. 2 years later and thank God every day I did it .
Nectar is Lactose Free ... I would suggest getting it asap .. Do you have a Vitamin Shoppe around ?
PM me if you need help finding any of this ,
Or you can call me ,
Love ya ,
