Fabulous @WishMeSmaller. Congratulations on reaching your goal. And I agree with @ms.sss - your legs ❤️ OMG I so hear you re the saggy butt skin. I remember walking around my house pulling & readjusting my knickers, thinking these uncomfortable knickers are going in the bin, only to realise it was my lose butt skin. 😱 I had to rearrange myself when I sat or lay down too. It’s not as bad now. Combination of some of my remaining fat rearranging itself & just getting used to it I think. (Wish I still didn’t suffer from bony ass pain though. It’s the worst.)

K, I really intended to write up a post on my 2 year anniversary (back in October!), but just never got around to it. I did make/update a little "progress" pic collage about a month ago, that again, I had meant to accompany a better-late-than-never anniversary post, but yep, just didn't get around to it. Anyhoo....this pic has been sitting in my albums for over a month now, and since I honestly have no real intention to write up an anniversary post (I'm like 2 yrs + 4 months now, lol), I'm just gonna post it here so it doesn't go to waste: 2 weeks pre-op: 235.0 lbs Surgery Date weight: 223.1 lbs Goal Weight: 127 lbs (7 myths post op) Current weight: 113.9 (this morning) P.S. I'll try to do a proper anniversary post at the 3 yr mark...lol

It's actually pretty common after surgery to go through a period where you feel like "What have I done to myself!?!" The early days of recovery can be really tough. Like you, I had a lot of post-op pain and I struggled to hydrate (have you tried clear protein drinks - not shakes? They helped me a lot early on.) I remember how awful I felt in the early days but fortunately it gets better pretty quickly. By week three I had no pain issues, I could sleep more comfortably, and I felt more myself. It's hard to say what might have given you hives - are you doing anything different? Using a new product? Taking a new kind of vitamin? Or did the ER use something or give you something you may be allergic to? It may take a process of elimination to figure that one out. As for generally feeling yucky, I promise it gets better. Hang in there! Hugs.🤗

My abdomen area seems swollen(Could be from trauma).I don't think I have anymore gas right now. I have no pain or desire to eat at this point. If this is as bad as it gets I am amazed! Did anyone else have swelling or bloating in the abdomen area? I haven't weighed yet but feel I am retaining water. Any advice is appreciated. I have follow up with my surgeon on Tuesday. Thanks for any input.

Thank you all so much for the positive feedback! ❤️❤️❤️ I have always had hang ups about my legs and yet you all think they look good...so funny how we see ourselves as opposed to how others see us. Uh hi there, body dysmorphia. Now onward to PS surgery and picking up that saggy booty to get ready for bikinis in Maui for July😊😊🌺

I did a bit of googling, and as with all things in life, it looks like it depends alot of factors (your age, amount of weight loss, age of implants, skin elasticity, etc...) But from what little I have read, the three main complaints of massive weight loss after breast implants are (1) skin rippling around the implant (2) implant dropping lower due to loss of fullness, and (2) your new smaller size makes the implant look too big for your frame, and look disproportionate. Since the implant itself does not change size, I would guess that you would not suffer from the tube boob look, so that alone is a good thing, lol. Can you reach out to your original surgeon and ask for more info?

You’re doing great!! Keep up the great work!!

I was originally scheduled for January but was postponed, just got my new date of Feb 8th! I'm so excited and scared at the same time! My pre-op diet starts on Monday!
