FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS



Recommended Posts

Y’all. From carrying my own extended to this.

Even used my tray table.

At first, I couldn't see the changes when looking in the mirror but after finding this old picture of me at my very heaviest, I can definitely see a change!

What I am really enjoying, even beyond the obvious weight loss inspiration, is seeing that none of you appear bald! It is calming my anxiety about just how much Hair loss I can expect. Thinner I can handle, needing a full wig I can't.

I'm terrified. Being militant about my Protein and Vitamins. I have super fine, thin hair to begin with. I can't afford to lose much of ANY without needing a wig! Seriously...my ponytail is like the diameter of between a dime and a nickel size. I just have to remember even if I lose a ton, this will have been worth it!

Well at this point I myself am not Fishing for Compliments, merely Hunting for Hope. Fix my stomal stricture, open operation if necessary, just repair me so I can be like other RnY veterans, brighten up my days and I will renew my Compliment Fishing License for the rest of my lifetime, And that is an iron-clad promise!**!

Honestly, it was bad, but not that bad. Look at my pictures above, I still have hair!

Wow, Matt. You look dangerously handsome. And I like your long hair, too.

Do men lose their hair the same way some women do after a bypass? (Not a question that pertains to your appearance, btw.)

Men and Women can have the same hair issues, just guys don't notice it as often since we typically have shorter hair. I personally didn't notice any losses or thinning. Not sure why exactly, but, not going to complain about not having an issue LOL.

Thanks!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
