Something I just can't stand



Recommended Posts

I love the fact that I am losing the weight That has plagued me my whole life. But at times just seeing my face in the mirror is so hard. My face and neck sag right now so much I don't recognize myself. Ugh.

I hear you girl! I feel like Im wearing a Edgar suit lol. Skin just not fitting right. I have started to get the arm wobbles and the thigh wobbles. My neck and face will be one thing I will have fixed after. I can hid the rest... swift lift here i come (in a year or so lol) They do have cosmetic tape where you can pull that back and tape it , with the tape just behind your ears. hair covers it. It works so don't be afraid of that either.

Im sure you look beautiful.. just think of all you have accomplished. Personally I kinda like not recognizing my fat self.... and hey I have cheek bones for first time in long time.

Ugh, I'm right there with you. I'm actually pretty happy with how my body shape is developing (very hourglass-y), but my neck is awful & I can't hide that. I keep hoping that it's not as bad as I think, but I can't convince myself.

I had to choose between being a smooth, puffed up dead guy and a wrinkled up, saggy, healthy butt kicker. That fact that I am still here illustrates my choice.

The skin doesn't hinder anything important. Adjusting the mind is worth the effort.

I can't wait to have all that skin!!! It means that I'm losing what I wanted to and will be sort of a badge of honor to me!!! Not only that but I'll be able to wrap myself in it and probably be able to wrap my boobs around my neck like a stole and stay warm next winter!!! (sorry if I offended anyone...)

I really developed wrinkles and sags with weight loss, however they did get better with time (and exercise helped). I think many of us lose off the face first is seems! Things will even out a bit over time. When i see peoples before and afters, they always look younger... I think looking in the mirror close up shows the bags, but overall, we seem to look better and younger, don't you think?

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
