- Identity crisis? 6mnths out
Besides my breast deflated from a 44DD to a 33B I'm actually okay. My skin is a little loose between my thighs but I notice the more I focus on building muscle the better it gets. Also i take two showers a day and spend about 15 minutes lotioning my skin and found its helped tremendously. J still have an apron tummy but with my panty spanx I look sexy in my size 9 skinny jeans. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 5 months post op.

My Dr said when I felt up to it. I was about a week out... I had to get on top because my tummy was still a little sore. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 5 months post op. CW: 156.6 lbs. --- Only 6.6 lbs to my goal ---- Just One

Had my surgery on March 2013 and I'm 5 months post op. Ive been on this HORRIBLY challenging 2 month stall out. I noticed my clothes have been really loose but I couldn't tip that 100 lb weight loss. Well Yaaaahoo.. I woke up at 158.8 lbs. That's a total of 100.2 lbs wright loss. Only 7.8 lbs to my goal weight. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 5 mons post op.

Just follow directions and instructions to the T and you'll do awesome. A big part of this is positive thinking.. stay focus cause we're saving a seat for you on the Losers Bench! ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---- MEN! GRRRRR (Sorry men)
Ok.... I'm about to get some back lash. (already ducking and taking cover) BUT LADIES... It's not them, its us! Okay.. let me break it down! We Super Women set this up and then we get pissed because we haven't train this overly taken care lazy men. LOL For example... I bet most of you can cook your butts off, try to keep and organize your homes and know exactly what to do to cater to your men. Why, cause we're the cream of the crop ... We're Super Women! When we first start dating these lazy bastards we're super happy and all in love. "oh ... He he he how cute his clothes are on the floor, let me pick them up" .. or "baby are you hungry, here's your meal".. "are you done, let me get your plate" Ok.. wait! That's what us ladies are suppose to do right? NOPE! My momma always says.. "Never make his plate unless you plan to do it for the entire relationship." LOL. She also said... Always divi-up the chores and never do his or else you'll be doing it for the entire relationship. Yes.. my moms a character BUT she also just celebrated her 30th wedding renewal and might I say those two are still in love and sex.crazy. We have to change them gradually without letting them know we're doing it. I personally just ain't a gradual kinda person. I started leaving large hand written notes. "I AM NOT YOUR MAID, NOR YOUR MOM." "I GUESS YOU WERE NEVER GOOD AT BASKETBALL CAUSE YOUR CLOTHES HAVE CLEARLY MISSED THE BASKET" "A HAPPY WIFE IS A HAPPY LIFE... DOING ALL THE CHORES DOESN'T MAKE ME HAPPY.. MORE LIKE CRAPPY" my favorite.... I throw little slight subliminal comments. "I was watching Y&R today and Nick was cleaning his house.. that's so sexy" or this man was on this cooking show cooking a special dinner for his stay at home wife. Awwww it was so sweet. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---- Awkward question.... Yeast infection after RNY?
If could be a number of things. Like everyone says antibiotics can create yeast infections. Also... While in the hospital you would have received an IV of Vitamins. Also when you get home you're putting a ton of vitamins into your body... In addition the more weight you lose the more you're hormones will shift and surface because the fat is no longer in the way. What happens is your body will only except so much vitamins and then dispose of the rest through your pee and for us women... vaginal discharge. The same is for your hormones.. some is disposed through your pee or discharge. This discharge will come in waves as your hormones shift or your body expells vitamins. Think of discharge as your garbage shoot... It's actually a good thing. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op.

Wow you look off the hook! When was your surgery? What's your before and current weight? ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---- Concerns
Sounds all pretty normal. Hang in there... It definitely gets much much better ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 5 months post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---- Spanx
I got a really nice pantie girdle from Target for 5 ... Most of them are always like 50% off. I own spanx but I love the panties better. They go all the way up to under my bra so I get great support. Wait... I actually have a lot that I just cleared out of my closet. How much are you weighing? What size are you? And.. where do you live. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 5 months post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. On a 2 month stall BUT --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---- Problems with adult acne post op?
It's your hormones. 3-4 months after surgery they go wake! Plus the more weight you lose the more hormones begin to surface because the fat is no longer around to block them. I went thru the same thing. I used proactive for a good month until my hormones chilled the heck out. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---- Having a hard time..I feel like giving up..binging...need encouragement
My Dr has the same diet... Are you drinking enough fluids.. 64+ oz a day depending on your weight. This could be your hunger problem. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---- Plateau?
How far along are you? ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---- pain go away :(
Hang in there... It gets much much better. What will happen is one day you'll wake up and the psin will just be gone. I noticed when my tummy was wrapped tight it relieved sins of the pain. I used a panty girdle that went up right below my breast and it didn't push on the areas my staples were in. Having my stomach bonded helped tremendously during my walks.. I was actually super fast power walking at the end of week 2 and jogging be week 5.. (i was released before my 6 weeks) ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op.

I was told that constipation is normal... I might not be tho and to expect not to go every day until I take in more food. My Dr said they don't get concerned about it until the patients go beyond 10 with no BM. I think I went to 7 or 8 days. I felt horrible too. It was like I was filled with toxins that made me fill sick and tired. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op.
