I never had pain. Each person is different

Agreed. A bottle of wine is a problem. Think about therapy plus join an exercise group. Maybe there make a couple healthy friends. The guilt and abuse added to life changes is a lot of stress It is hard to lose weight when stressed. Try meditation - progressive muscle relaxation - restorative yoga if counseling is not an option. Recently if I have a second alcoholic drink I black out. Way too freaky for me at 3 years out. I added a 1 drink twice a month rule and cautious black outswill enter this too

Good for you for quitting

Try Kirby Kate for a bra. I went from a 40 G to a 28 F. That is post reduction I had a little in my bum built up. Avoided all implants as they have to be replaced - feel great and my PS worked magic. Best to you.

Plastics definitely. The surgeries were long and painful Recovery but I run without the jiggle

Thanks for sharing. My body seems to need change. Gained a few lbs but it seems to be muscle - measurements are same to lower. How are you calculating body fat? What is IF? Best to you!

I too gain a lot from reading responses. I always appreciate feedback but if not there I believe the person has gotten what they need and moved on. Not so bad. Personally I need the ongoing check in I went WLS with limited support and for me still do not feel thin weight - body image - self compassion is a struggle. Not because of WLS but because I too am a batty crazy achiever

Thanks folks. For the last years I have been about losing then recovering from plastics. It is.hard to figure it into the day to day.

Thanks folks

Winter? Just let me sleep!! I use a light box as well. Darker hours mean more naturally produced melatonine plus the body needs natural light to create serotonin. Days get longer 21 December and I am counting. Big hugs and be kind to yourself.

My fear of gaining is controlled by exercise. Better than many other things but is maladaptive. G

Life is changing much now. I caution that medication may be a positive tool. I know depression is neurological condition The brain changes - euro plasticity and gut hormones are significant. Check with your providers and please make sure you have supports. Best

Sounds rough. How are you feeling? Can you do most things yet?

Sending you good vibes today! Maybe vetting drain out will speed all healing

Text - call - e-mail. I told my PS that is why he made the dollars - to read my mind. A text or e- mail is super easy.

I had a drain for 24 hours with my surgery. It worked though the pain was intense for better than 10 days.

Glad you are healing It is exciting to have this part behind you.

I wore mine from Nedico for 8 weeks - sized down and neither were hard! Swelling was hard. Best healing

Yes. I had little breast tissue and skin when I decided to have reconstruction - lift I did not worry I lost size I still feel as though I am in proportion

I was a 30 G - now a 30 B It was all skin Totally happy

So it is coming together! In my paperwork I had to be cleared by my primary - mammogram EKG Blood work No anesthesiologist will touch you without n EKG so it may come that route. Best!

Best of luck
