so I am a little over 60lbs down in weight. I am already showing signs of weight loss. I have sagging skin in my thigh area and my boobs. I really loved my boobs and they are leaving me. I developed a heat rash from the friction when I move.. I thought if I lost it slow enough I wouldn't have much skin. I really can't blame myself because I am half to blame for being obese anyways. The important thing is that I care now and I am more dedicated than I have ever been. The thing that has me so down in a funk is that my job is not being so supportive. they don't know what surgery I had and they never will, but they are just being unfair about certain things.

 

I still feel a lot of restriction even with them taking 1cc out of my band. I am able to eat a little bit more. for some reason I can not tolerate my normal protein shakes. But I can eat 2 egg whites and 1/4 of a banana. then for lunch I had two chunks of pineapples , 7 grapes, and two small chunks of watermelon. I haven't had dinner yet because I am not hungry yet. Tomorrow I return back to work to see how I fair out. tomorrow. will be a better day...

    Yes - the saggy skin and boobs are not much fun. But it's one of those trade-offs I'm willing to make. I have told myself now for the past 7 years that when I get to goal and stay there for a year, I will have the surgery to remove the skin and give the girls a lift. I'm 45 and my boobs sag to my knees now. But they are still pretty big (which I like) and my husband has a sense of humor. And guess what - I have a husband, which I didn't have before I lost the weight :-) So I'll take the girls being saggy in exchange for what I've gotten in return. I'll admit that swimsuit shopping is brutal because of the saggy thighs.

    When you've lost more weight and if you can - I highly recommend you go to a specialty lingerie store if at all possible for a personal bra fitting. I wear a 36G now - I had no idea!! The bras I buy now cost a small fortune (to me, anyway - about $75-$90 each) but they are totally worth it! My husband and I may know that my boobs sag to my knees, but no one else does! They stand tall and proud in their expensive slings. And there are 2 now instead of a uni-boob!

    Keep your sense of humor! Hang in there! (The girls sure will - Bahahahahahah!!!)

    I hope that your job backoff of you and give you a break. Just pray about it and it will be fine. Stay encouraged because at the end of the day you are all that matters.
