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 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! 😞
