I have a neck again!



Recommended Posts

Before I had my son 13 years ago, I was a size 8. I was always "thick" but shapely. In fact, I was shaped how most black women that I know are shaped (I am black, btw). I had thick thighs, wide hips, a big butt, small waist, no stomach and DD boobs. I was also 130 pounds and 5'2". One of the things I loved the most about my short frame was my long neck. Well gues what? I was just sitting in my room and happened to look up in the mirror and there it was. My neck has resurfaced. The fat is gone from around it, and I can actually see it again. It looks weird to me, because I haven't seen it in so long. Or mabye it's because I've never noticed my collar bone be that prominate before, but whatever the reason, my neck is back.

Maybe all this sipping and nasty ass Protein Water is worth having my neck back!

Oh it is alllll worth it -- I can't believe how awesome this surgery has been for me and I KNOW that in the end, despite the liquid diet, despite the mushies, despite the awful Protein crap, it is totally worth it! :) SOOO happy that you have your neck back! Hooray!

I remember that moment after my surgery too. Being able to feel my collar bone was just amazing to me - I kept telling my husband "feel this, can you believe it???"

I hope you can keep some of your booty, because mine is non-existent now and my butt can certainly get SORE when I sit on something hard! Being "boney" is a mixed blessing!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
