Looking deflated!



Recommended Posts

I have to say, I am not looking forward to plastics but I definitely need surgery. I need a Tummy Tuck and insurance will cover it but I am trying to decide wether to have another baby first or to do the tuck first so I could experience pregnancy like someone a normal size. I would love to have my arms done too but probably won't be able to afford it. I am only 8 months out but no amount of time or exercise is going to bring my skin back. I have been obese to morbidly obese my entire life and my skin is never going to bounce back so I guess I figure why wait?

I am not offended, no worries - I am just adamently stating that some of us are in a situation that we need plastics to have a normal looking body. I look okay in clothes, but am not too crazy about the visuals without... and I wanna have it fixed and waiting buys me nothing at all.

also, most of the "alternatives" like wraps and all that really have very little evidence supporting that they work long term. Especially for those of us with alot of excess skin.

No criticism intended Jane. It is just another viewpoint that should be considered. You know I respect all you guys tremendously.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
