I have a neck!!!



Recommended Posts

I've lost 48.5 pounds so far, and I swear 30 of it was in my boobs. I've lost 6 inches there...but only 3 around my enourmous hips! I'm going to have to have liposuction and a boob job, I'm pretty sure. The sad thing is that it's getting harder to find clothes, not easier! My hips are a size 26, but my top is a 18/20. I'm ok with it, just think it's funny and just a little ironic.

Megan - I so totally know what you mean!! I am getting smaller on top and loosing just a little on the bottom. I have always had big hips but I didn't have boobs until I started gaining weight. What to do what to do!!!!

Well, I'm starting to miss my boobs. I keep telling my DH that it will only cost $5000 to get new ones. :(

I love being able to tie my shoes and cut my toenails without trouble, too. And my hands don't feel pudgy anymore, they feel downright delicate.

But I'm afraid the wattle hanging from my chin is not at all what I had in mind. I suppose that's another $5000 to pull that up. It actually is a row of several wattles. My mom has one of those big ones with no neck, so at least I've always had a neck. Now there's just a lovely dangly to go with it! :)

Of course, the positive changes far outweigh (or should I say "underweigh" ) the negatives!

I have a thing for my collarbone too. lol. I also find myself feeling my shoulders. There are bones under there too and I can actually shave my legs or cut my toenails now without passing out cause my oxygen is cutoff. :) I can even look at the backs of my legs. I have scars back there I haven't seen since the 70's. lol.

Amazing what can keep me entertained.

ok, now this one made me laugh out loud..... thanks Leatha! I needed it!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
