    Karen Stoddard Croft got a reaction from blashlee in Reality Check- I hate my new body   
    I just joined today and read your post and was wondering if you started toning your body right after surgery?I got a fitbit and joined the Gym to try and advoid the gravity issue.Been doing good lost 40.7 in 3 months along with 63 lbs.Being older (54) its harder for the skin to snap back but if you exercise n tone in your 20 and 30's you shouldn't need plastic surgery unless you lost like 200+ lbs.I will definetly be seeing a plastic surgeon for stomach, butt, face and bat wings.

    Yes, things are sagging big time for me too and I'm still at 195 lb. In fact, given that reality I have moved my weight goal from 150 to 170.
    Perhaps a breast lift would help. I am not a big believer in plastic surgery but in our case, I think we have a medical reason. Just as someone in a crash that needs reconstruction, we need help. It's not like we can workout to the shape we should be. Plastics are expensive but I have come to the sad realization a breast lift for me is a necessity. I went from a 42 DD to a 38D but things have gone south in a major way. With an additional 25 weight loss expected things are bound to get even worse. I'll see how that goes and then consider a Tummy Tuck. I'll have to wait until I stop losing weight for any of this to happen. My surgery was only 4 months ago.
    Surprisingly my bat wings don't bother me as much as my breasts. Even my tummy is not so bad because I wear Shapewear. I am fortunate my knees look fine but I am more of a Bermuda shorts kind of girl. Love shorts that hit at the knee or right below. The other area that is seriously annoying is the flab between my legs. Wearing a dress will always require shorts as an undergarment. When the weather gets hot that's going to be horrible. I also noticed when I try pants the fabric has to be fairly heavy or with lycra or the sag/bumps on my legs are visible right through. Yikes!
