elcee reacted to Fatboyslim1 in Hungry after Surgery
Perhaps you don't quite understand. Say for example your stomach was originally the size of 2 bananas (and we are talking in its un stretched state) and now your stomach is the size of one banana. what percentage of your stomach was removed ?
Now imagine that your stomach was the size of 3 bananas, and now it is one. What percentage of your stomach was removed?
I asked my surgeon "how big was my stomach" and he said "kind of like the size of a football, but it's really hard to tell as stomachs are very elastic." He said my new stomach is "the size of the banana."
You do the math

We all transform amazingly from any type of WLS ..but I just love to see the amazing transformations of men , they seem to lose so much more drastically, The problem is they seem to be less forthcoming with pics...Sooo if you are male and has had weight loss changes in your appearance from ANY wls let the ladies see what you got going on... Don't be shy...have at it....

elcee got a reaction from FluffyChix in No F#$ckin BMI Way
It would be interesting to see what the insurance companies take on this is. They have presumably paid a lot of money for people to have this surgery to help them get to a healthy weight range. I wonder if they would be happy paying that money out if they knew people were going to give up before they got there.
Yes BMI maybe flawed but until we have something better to replace it it works quite well. People forget it is a range. and the range is quite vast which allows for “ big” bones. The exceptions seem to be elite athletes that have lots of muscle, I’m guessing that most of us here are not in that category.
Choosing a goal weight is hard and it needs to be something that is healthy and makes you happy. It shouldn’t be something that is chosen based on fear and other people’s perceptions. If we stopped losing weight because other people told us we were getting too skinny most of us would still be in the overweight range!

elcee got a reaction from eporter in Post Op Sex
This question “comes up” all the time. I think the best response I have read is that generally they prefer you to wait until you are home from hospital

So much to catch up on!
@Deedee12 So glad to see more of you!
@TXlowbmi I LOVE those shoes!
@Dtrain84 I knew I liked you ... I have a thing for Philly men!
Long time no see @NYJenn , @Freiabr& @elcee
@BayougirlMrsS Oh, I had forgotten about my faux leather leggings! I wonder if I will be well enough to rock them on NYE? Is that green dress off Amazon. If so it's been on my wishlist forever....
@AngieBear YES to that skirt. It looks fantastic on you! I like to put a belt over the transition between my pencil skirts and my tucked in tops, or body suits.
@Arabesque Welcome! I love the simplicity of the black dress.
Sorry to anyone I missed!

Official Christmas outfit for varies holiday events this past weekend and next... Thankfully, guests are from different groups or organizations - SO I won't be caught wearing the same dress twice. Haha. Today is my One Year surgery anniversary. What a difference a year makes. I am amazed to be wearing a size 8 dress here. It is totally mind boggling. AND, there is now space between my knees and I can see my shoes! Fun.

Ms. Elcee, you rock this dress! Looks like you and I had great fun in the hosiery department... What a pretty figure. The red lipstick is a wonderful pop on your beautiful porcelain skin. Wow.
