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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
