Very saggy lady bits and only half way there!

I'm afraid if I get a Tummy Tuck, it would have to be tucked up so far, I'd end up with a beard

LOL I've already got some chin hairs from the PCOS, might as well rock a full beard

Ok, I'ma just say it. Sometimes, the world is just so unfair! LOL.

Like you know, guys get better looking as they age, and mostly we do not--or at least that's what we're conditioned to believe.

And now this!!! LOL.

Girls lose a crapton of weight and we get saggy, baggy elephant parts DT.

Guys lose a crapton of weight and their penises grow by 6 inches!

*sigh*

@FluffyChix one of my friends got her Tummy Tuck the day before I got my RNY done (she had her RNY 3yrs ago). The first thing she was showing me and her other close girlfriends was how good her lady bits looked now LOL she was like 'look how pretty my bits are now! no more FUPA!' (TMI but FUPA (pronounced FOO-pah) stands for fat upper pubic area)

bahahahaha! This is an encouraging report! And I've been wondering (yet oddly afraid to ask) what a FUPA was! Sadly, I'm in that club and it doesn't appear to be a fun one. *smacks head*

How ya feelin these days hon?

hahaha trust me, it's like palming a basketball for me LOL I'm not any closer to getting rid of the FUPA, but hopefully over time it'll deflate haha.

I'm doing great! Have my 6wk appointment with my surgeon next month, but I'm doing really good. Was lucky and had no issues with nausea or pain after surgery. Part of that was probably just my body reacting well to surgery, part of that was my awesome doc. I'm eating more solid normal food now, but it's still trial and error as to what my body will tolerate and what it won't. I've had a time or two of having a few bites too many, and had to go spit up some of the food - I say spit up because it barely qualifies as vomiting lol. I know the signals my body sends when I have to spit up, and I am getting better at knowing when to stop eating. And it's not like I'm pounding back nachos (although, MMMM NACHOS LOL). I have like 3 bites too many and I know I'm gonna need to spit up within minutes. So I'm focusing on eating slowly, feeling when my body is starting to feel 'full,' and getting my fluids in. The fluids seem easier in this second to last stage, only because I'm not constantly planning my next mini meal/snack. I have more time between eating to be able to get fluids in.

@karen_marie What a super report girlie!!! I'm just so thrilled for you--after only 6 weeks! Can you believe it's been 6 weeks already?

[karen_marie 220]

Thanks @FluffyChix! I hit my 4wks mark last Friday, and that was crazy! Can't believe it's been over a month already since surgery! BTW, my laparoscopic surgery scars are like a weird half moon shape - looks like a weird shark bit me lol They're all closed up and healed, but I can tell everything inside has just a little more to go before being fully healed. So the 6wks is definitely right on for your insides to heal 100%. But it's nice to be able to bend over and squat down again without fearing for my life lol
