Is it just me or as I am slowly losing weight my body is getting softer. I mean like where all my fat is, it is getting kind of soft and squishy lol is this normal? I don't mind at all, for it beats being so swollen all the time, I am 3 weeks post op and I am starting to notice my stomach isn't nearly as swollen anymore and my face, hands and feet are smaller. What about everyone else? Is the softness from fat breaking down or what exactly is it

I think it's the fat melting away under your skin. Now at goal, I'm bony, but skin is a little loose and soft feeling still. Of course, I just turned 56, so some loose skin just comes with age too. My tummy went from looking like a firm pumpkin to a kinda sqaushed overripe pumpkin to being pretty flat now that I'm at goal.

do you have any hanging skin on your body or have you had plastics?

I've noticed the same thing, I'm getting pretty soft. LOL! I'm thinking that some toning exercises will help. Must start that soon before I turn to mush. ;)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
