I didn't order pancakes.



Recommended Posts

So why do I have two dinner plate sized pancakes on my chest where my breasts used to be? It is a little disconcerting, but I guess I will just accept it as part of the weight loss process. Eighteen days out- what other surprises await me?

Mine are more like beaver tails. I hate it. I'm afraid to ask if they ever regain better shape because I think I know the answer. I hate to think what they will look like when I hit goal. The rest of my body isn't too bad after a 97 pound loss in 4 1/2 months. It's just my droopy boobs. No wonder others get augmentation after WLS. This isn't an option for me since I am a single mother on a teacher's salary.

@@WL WARRIOR You should check with your insurance company. Depending on the severity of weight loss and the psychological effect it has on you, a lot of insurance companies will pay for the augmentation.

LOL! I was just noticing this morning that mine look like a first grade art project. They're definitely not boob shaped anymore!

Do you know that kiddie song?

"do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie'em in a knot, can you tie 'em in a bow, can you throw'em over your shoulder like a continental soldier, do your ears hang low"

Substitute boobs for ears and you got me ????

Me too! I have sung that song for years and I still have not had my surgery yet.

@ WL Warrior. I literally laughed out loud at your "beaver tail" comment!!! I will never look at my saggy boobs again without thinking of beaver tails!!

I would like to have mine fixed too, but my kiddie is headed to college soon so until I get her off my payroll it's saggy beaver tails for me too.

Hey- at least we can all have our sense of humor; pancakes on chest and rock in socks!!

Don't quote me, but I hear you lose your booty too.

Yeah...I barely have any booty left...It hurts to sit so I try to avoid it.

Boobs are still DDD but I'm also in the "rocks in socks" club. The interesting thing is my boobs rest on my ribcage rather than my stomach so they don't look half bad when I'm standing. Just don't ask me to bend over!

I tend to not lose from there very much - but these DDD's are already sagging -- I cannot imagine what they'll transform into in the next few months. I told my husband he will only see them in a bra.

Actually, the booty may come back.

;)

Almost 15 months out I'm walking so much more these days. And the booty is coming back a bit. I can only imagine what my booty might do if my knees were tuff enuff to still do squats. ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
