Beginning of Abdominalplasty/Breast surgery

Thanks BooBoo - was a bit worried it could come across as more like a stalker. Though I went overboard with the receptionist to emphasize I wasn't trying to get any personal info about her or even confirmation I had the right office just that she would ask if the doc knew who I was talking about so they could get a message to her. The most I suggested was if there were some terrible problem that maybe someone could make an anonymous post or to ask her family to let us know so we could pray for her.

My DH has no idea I started my own PS thread. He actually forbade it (didn't want others seeing the pics). But I have told my neighbor about the site and have asked her to be in charge of posting a message if something were to happen to me.

Why did he forbid you?? lol...men can be strange! I started mine today since today will be my first appointment. I am not sure yet if I will post very graphic pics...but what do I care? lol...

He's wierd, or maybe he's normal and we're the wierd ones. I don't pay too much attention to anything he "forbids". He is a very private person and I'm very outgoing. He's always complaining I tell people too much about my/our lives.

Hi Ghost - I think we are soul sisters - we have the same pantry and the same husband!! I am always embarrassing him because I will tell anyone anything! I am worried about FSC too, I hope she will get in touch. I live in Reno so I am not too far from her. I will have to hop over to your ps thread and see if you have updated. Thanks for the pics - my husband would be horrified if I posted mine I am sure. I think that he is not thrilled that I am on this site since it can eat up the time. I never used the internet for anything other than shopping before!!!

Yeah, My DH is fond of repeating that stuff about how you never really know who you are talking to online. And that some of us on Lapband might just be pervs in disguise pretending to be WL Patients. I can just see the Headlines "Serial Murderer Stalks Emotionally Vunerable Bariatric Patients Online". You know even if it were true I'd rather live my life out in the open :hippie:than hiding behind some wall. :car:

FSC YOU'RE BACK!!! WOOH HOO! Give us an update. How are you doing? Life treating you OK?

My stats are very similar to yours. 5'2" 170ish. I'm only 7 weeks out from PS and thinking that once the swelling goes down I'm going to call whatever my weight then is goal. I'm curious despite your stats I think you look 10 times better than me and still dream of looking as good as you some day. Don't know if it is all in my head and others would say I'm closer to that reality or what. But my question is, are you happy with how you are looking and satisfied with this being goal for you? Or is your mind playing tricks on you as well?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
