Top heavey now and back is killing me, what to do?



Recommended Posts

I am glad that I have always had relatively smallish boobs. The largest they crawled up to was a C-cup. I also find bras fiendishly uncomfortable to wear and never wear them in the house. I do have to wear them outside, however, because otherwise it looks like I am housing a pair of crazed rats underneath my shirt when I walk. I always wear jog bras. They are the least annoying. They are old boobs; I now fail the pencil test. Ugh! :phanvan

My aunt who is about 60 just had breast redction surgery because of horrible back and neck pain. Her only regret is not having it done 20 years ago. She says she feels like a new person and even her fibromyalgia seems better! About the chiros - I had a quack years ago and didn't know any better. Had me seeing him 3/week - milked the insurance co. Now I have a new guy who is AWESOME. I see him when I need to which is quite infrequently. there are several "schools" of chiropractic from what I've learned. My dr follows the gestalt (sp?) method. Good Luck

Good Chiropatric info, Pam. I've never used one, but have friends who believe in them almost religiously. Finding a great one is the trick!

My girls are too big too, Boo Boo. But not to the point of wreaking havoc on my neck and back. I can't imagine having to put up with the pain of it all. :cry

Green I'll never forget when I was at a party with a new boyfriend once and the topic of discussion was the "pencil test" and who in the room could pass. I was totally mortified. Fortunately for my self-esteem I was deemed to be able to pass, but it was such a terrible feeling to have people talking about our anatomy like that so I suggested we find a ruler and figure out which guy had the biggest johnson. The girls giggled and said, YES! And the guys changed the subject and started talking about sports betting. PIGS! (I have never felt comfortable in a sports bra, even when participating in sports. There must be a trick to finding the proper fit or is it the material that makes them comfortable?) :)

I have got a friend who is a 38 double A. You can't even find a 38 A bra anywhere in my city. They don't make 'em. I made it my mission to look.

She has been my friend since we were in our 20s. I used to be very envious of her. She was a tall, willowy blonde with long slender arms and legs, and she could tan - unlike me. She also weighed between 15-20 lbs less than me. Then she hit menopause and turned into her mother just as I turned into mine. Now she is a cobby 200+ and has thick calves. (She is boobfree, though.) I turned into my mother; all my fat went onto my torso and so I retained the delicate calves of a racehorse. My post-menopausal mother used to say about herself that she looked just like a spider with an egg sac and so did I before I was banded. Great arms and legs and a body like a loveseat. blehhhh! :tired

Well being a short little stob of a girl, I have stumpy legs. Always had a very wasp like figure, pre obesity, but the legs... stumps. Hardly any ankles so as you'd notice. Most men like good legs with nice ankles. They don't really notice tiny waists. Big boobs, yes. Great legs, yes. Nice Booty, yes. But the booty isn't even all that important if you have great legs. And blond hair.

Tho I have to admit that... I had big butt and I cannot lie. Those other brothers can't deny... they got "sprung"! They could have written that song with me in mind. :heh: Woo-hoo! :)

Ah, now Green is good at being an ass but she has always had a lousy ass! No junk in her trunk! *sob* My butt has always been flat and kind of squarish, not high, round, and perky. Bummer....

Had a good friend with a flat butt. Otherwise she was a striking beauty, but she always wanted a more curvy bottom. She worked with a trainer and he got her using a stair stepper and sure enough, she developed a bubble butt. :)

That's my problem. I started wearing very padded 38B's because no one makes a 38A. I haven't worn a bra that actually fits me since I was in 7th grade.

:cryThe only butts that I have seen which resemble mine belong to Polish men. I used to work along side a number of them and so I know what I am talking about. Now, it is true that my father was Polish Jew. I figure there certainly is a little bit of Slavic ancestry there and this has chosen to manifest itself in the shape of my arse, the arse of a Polish dude. And when I was travelling in Russia men would come up to me talking in Slav and say, "Polska?" And I would look at 'em straight in the eye and say, "nyet," which was one of the four words in Russian which I knew.

They must have been examining my butt. :faint:

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
