Hey, Rain, me too!

Seriously, I passed the pen test in 4th grade!!!

I remember how sad I was when I could keep a pen in place with my BELLY. No one sells a "belly bra".

Thanks for the walk down memory lane....

Yes they do it's called Lipo in a box - I wear one all the time :)

Indigo, I thought you were joking but I goggled it and found it. How does it compare to spanx

:lol:lol:lol: No I wasn't joking and you are like me googling everything.. :)

I wear it more and more often - I right now I have target brand spanks on - but I don't like the ones that goes to your thights cuz no matter what they say we you sit there is a little line where they end but its not bad. I think the Lipo is a little stronger - I have some high waisted Spanx tights that i wear too..

I have the lipo in a box that goes up to your bra and ends where normal panties do - I love it - I still have some back fat 1 1/2 roll compared to 3 full rolls and I HATE muffin tops so I were mine alot.

Also they have one on tv that has straps - I might order that one too - the more i think about what i am wearing now "assets" it's made by spanx i went with smaller size - cuz i was 8 lbs from it and It's good - but i think i like my lipo in a box better - I think I can order a smaller size cus I wore this one i have at my highest - I hate back fat...

OMG -- it hurts to LOL!!! (I was in a high impact rear-end collision on Friday and hurt all over!!!) But I couldn't help but LOL at your description!!! I still have a LOT of weight to lose, but am beginning to fear my extra skin may be getting tangled around my ankles before I hit goal and am considered for a TT.

I'm so excited for you -- the countdown begins! -- and can't wait to follow your progress!!

Nana<---dreaming of the day she'll be past all of the surgeries!!

yikes! you doing OK?

You know, from my photo there you can tell that my stomach held up OK, but yeah, I have the puffy mons syndrome too. I figure I've had a caesarean and I remember being HORRIFIED about how it looked after that, changed it utterly. I dont look like a porn star either. But I can wear a bikini so I dont particularly care.

My boobs I'm fussier about, they've ALWAYS looked at the floor, and they're getting fixed, I"m going to have better tits than I did at 16 years old. And both will be the same size which will be a nice change.

That's one of the good things about DH getting banded too. He doesn't dare make any rude comments I can turn back on him!:biggrin2:

Thanks for the laughs people!!! I too am dealing with saggy parts and quite frankly never really paid attention to Antartica cause I couldn't see it....but now I do and it too will need some TLC! I will keep heaving the girls into a bra until I have lost all the weight I need to, but the good thing about it is that my hubby is extremely supportive to finance the reconstructive surgeries in the end!:cool:

Oh I'm going to go check out that Lipo in Box right now online! I've been wearing tummy slimmers for years (since i hit my top weight.) I wear the high top panties that go up to your bra.

Where most women have the "apron" I have the opposite. My lower belly below my waist is normal and chubby but smoothes out nicely under jeans and was never a concerns. between my boobs and waist I feel like I have another rack of tits. It permanently looked like my fat belly was spilling over my pants all the time. I still wear them now to smooth things out after losing 100+ pounds, but looking for something better than I pick up at Target.

-Leena - I experience the chubby mons! my lower belly is all flat and saggy now, and my mons is chubby and swollen looking. I actually wondered once if I could get that lipoed or do a mons/labia tuck...

I've had droopy boobs since i got boobs at age 8. Totally got jipped on the perky tits.

On topic of the pencil test... in my younger more shameful years while I was up at 280+, I demonstrated to my friends that I could hold a full 2 liter of soda under each breast. There is a picture somewhere I may have burned already.

Now my boobs are flat, like without a bra, i look flat chested until you see the boobs sitting on my tummy. I'm 28, no breastfeeding yet.

This is not self depricating at all, I'm always pretty light hearted about body issues. I look bad ass all tucked into my tummy slimmer and bra so I dont' worry too much.

Getting thin didn't look like I thought it would naked. But even though i'm saggy, I totally love my whole body more than ever. It reminds me where I've been, and being fat made me who I am, i'm just getting better now.

(sorry this got so long, i've been up with reflux all night and just got a second wind)

I am new, and anticipate the same problems, but I was hoping to get some feedback on a current.

I consider myself and clean person, and always work hard and being clean in certain areas.

But this new diet, all the Protein and shakes and fish, I have notices a change in oder and taste (according to DH). How did I go from sweet and pleasant to bitter and foul!?!

Sorry if this grossing anyone out, but what do I do?

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
