I'm in a cross road .



Recommended Posts

I'm 215 Pounds my Heights is five-three I'm 42 yrs old I look like I'm in my early 30s . I don't look bad but I'm not at my best and I'm definitely not content with myself . I look in the mirror & I see who I don't want to see . I have 3 kids but the last 2 were back to back & I never lost the baby fat from the second that I was already in My third pregnancy. I use to weight 160 & I was content with that but now I'm 215 and I'm stuck at this & it's been a couple of weeks It's not easy I can't recognize who I am . Now in August 11th of 2016 I'm going in for a procedure I'm doing the sleeve this is where I'm at a cross road in my life what is a lady supposed to do when all this is So new and you don't know what to expect or what's the outcome is going to be . My biggest fear is losing 50 to 60 pounds losing it to fast is not a good thing but then the consequences is what I don't know how to face, being Flabby it's my nightmare & I'm sure I'm not alone ... I want garenteeds results & we all know thats not going to happen. My questions are once your lose the weight is there any way to tune up, to tighten your Flabby skin? & how long it would take ... Someone out there has to have been where I'm at . Who ever you are please help me get my head straight. My husband has heard me over & over again talk about this he is convinced it could be a good thing because this is what I wanted . But now the time is getting closer & I question myself is this what I want .

Well it will be 5 months for me on Sunday and the only loose skin I have is on my arms, but I knew that, my stomach currently is good, keeping close eyes on my thighs lots of cellulite. I am in the gym mostly 3 days a week I walk at least 6000 steps 5 days a week

And the goal is to add a cycling class in January

I started Water aerobics one month after surgery two days a week, added the 3rd day in October. .. my husband is very supportive and says in January we can start looking interviewing a plastic surgeon if I want for my arms etc... just stay prayful, I really grateful I'm getting control of my health and may just let it be instead of trying to look perfect for who... I knew I was gorgeous at 200+ pounds. .so why can't I think I'm better now and will be good at my goal sagging arms thighs or whatever I'll just buy spanks for special occasions lol!!!

      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.

      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!
