Broke my butt.....



Recommended Posts

Well, I finally have the nerve to show everyone. I took a major fall and slid down my deck steps when they were wet LAST week. I am okay but moving VERY slowly. I also scraped up my back and knocked the wind right out of my sails. Still can't sit on one side yet (the cheek so I sit a bit with a slant). Here is a picture of my butt for your viewing pleasure.... (keep in mind that these bruises are over a week old so just imagine....)

Jenna, it looks like you were expecting to still have the old padding catch you. You are looking very thin by the way....~Mandy

Well, I guess the verdict is official. You have a fine a$$ and some seriously painful looking bruises. You poor thing, that must have really hurt.

Awww, thanks. I credit the butt crunches for the shape though. That makes me feel good especially since I gained back 5 lbs. Band is a little loopy lately. Tight one minute, open the next.

I think you are right though, I was thinking I had more padding and I would have bounced back up just pissed off rather than writhing in pain at the bottom of the deck steps. Oh, by the way, have I told you that our deck is about 15 feet off of the ground?

And THIS bruising was after a week and 1/2!!

But wanna know the funny thing? The way I have to sit now (on one cheek) makes me remember the days of not fitting into chairs with arms well (during my heaviest) and having to sit sort of sideways.

OUCH! I've been there! I fell down a flight of stairs and hit my butt against one of the steps. Those bruises aren't going to heal quickly...mine lasted for over a month. You can try Arnica for the bruising. It's homeopathic and really helps with the bruising. Those who've had PS might have been told to try it for the swelling/bruising.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
