Surgery turned me into a preteen boy!



Recommended Posts

I was told yesterday that I now look like a prepubescent boy....no butt, no boobs, no hips. Not to mention I had an endometrial ablation years ago, so no period. Any suggestions on how to complete the transformation? I'm thinking I need to start farting more, learn how to play video games, and go ahead and wear all those jeans that are too big without a belt to keep them up. Geez, talk about lifestyle changes!

As the saying goes...opinions are like a**holes , everyone's got one. If you feel great then it is great. If you want to look more feminine then dress more feminine but if you are happy in the clothes you have then you are fine. Don't let anyone else's opinions change how you view yourself. Thin is in and you are right there in the mix.

It would sort of be nice, after losing 100 pounds, to move somewhere new and deal only with people who didn't know you before and don't burden you with their issues about how confused they are by the fact that you're not obese anymore.

Sheesh!

Honestly, I wasn't offended by the comment. It's true and pretty funny. I spent the last 30 years dealing with big boobs, a huge ass and bulging thighs. I will gladly spend the next 30 wearing boy shorts with pride. My inner woman has not been threatened at all.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
