Good Times, Bad Times - Anyone Else Have Mixed Feelings?

Misfortune.... She documented all of her side effects ie rashes, smell, skin breakdowns... then its not considered cosmetic, but I think its also due to the state your from.... Washington State.... Also had a friend get a breast reduction for back pain from Washington and that was like 10 years ago

I am only game enough to say this outloud in this post to anyone. I thought my life would be great when I lost my weight, but for years I dreamt of a Tummy Tuck. I would lay in bed at night praying to win the lotto so I could get it done. When it actually became reality and was booked in I thought my life was going to be perfect, nothing would get me down...NOTHING!!!!

Boy was I wrong. The TT has only made the other things bad on me more pronounced. I have keloid scars from banding. I have stretch marks from head to toe pretty much literally. My thighs rub together from major loose skin that my DR said would only ever be improved by a thigh lift...well that isnt going to happen. My tummy is in major swell hell and its hard to see it so big after what I have been through. I know my mind is playing head games with me and Ill never think of myself as anything but fat, nomatter what I have done. There is alot of other things I could go on about too but I wont. All Ill say is it will always be a "the grass is always greener" kinda thing for me.

I just wanted to add that it pi***s me off when I see someone who seems like they are never satisfied, and there probably is people reading this thinking "Be grateful I would KILL for a tummy tuck". I know, I used to think like that too. Like I said life would be perfect after one. It would answer all my problems. I am just stating it hasnt, far from it.

Hugs

Kellie... All I have to say is you are right! I totally agree! Mo matter how many tucks, cuts or whatever, if you are not happy with yourself mentally, then you will never be happy! I also like you phrase at the end;

Just Today!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
