Baby Fat is not cute when you are not a Baby



Recommended Posts

I have been overweight since 5 years old.. by the time i did my sleeves surgery 3 weeks ago at 42 yrs old... I could say that being fat needs talent.lol.

Tried all the colours n fashion to look slim, tried to be brave going clubbing always as the fattest babe.Tried diet, obesity club, gym n trainers, youtube workouts, home workouts, Tomato Soup diet, dance 8 hours a day.. but its just so hard to stay a good weight for me without suffering.

So in Dec 2020 I had slip disc followed by surgery and main cause was weight and ageing.It almost hit my spinal cord and thank God i was not paralysed. I weighed 98kg at that time. And my weight for the past 30 over years has lead to this as my hectic routine with 2 growing up boys isnt making me any better.

And so we planned with the surgeon and finally 2 weeks ago I went for the sleeves surgery.I wasnt even financially ready.But i know i had to do it. I am divorced and was married with a man who cant even walk with me bcoz i am fat.And to me, all my lousy relationships previous and current ones are with lousy man who thinks fat women are in need of attention.

So i see that after this surgery, and preparing for it made me focus more on myself. Which is about me and me now should come first.Lesson learnt. Bye lousy miserable life..Am loving myself even more now.

See how it goes..i have about 30-40kg to loose at 5'5'' and I am with myself n my own target now.

All the best to all of you too.

Good luck! Down 70 pounds today (Yay!) at about 7 months out. My advice would be to follow your plan, don't panic at stalls (I've had so many) and know that the weight WILL come off!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
