Love/Hate Relationship



Recommended Posts

I'm pretty shure i'm not alone here. I have a love/hate relationship with my scales. I usually don't like them very much but in the last few weeks we've been getting along pretty good. i weighed 257 this morning. lowest i've weighed in years. It might go up a pound here and there but as a whole i can see it coming down.

But i can also tell i was so big it seems there is going to be a lot of xtra skin left over when the weight is gone. I'm pretty sure i'll need a Tummy Tuck but not sure if i want to put my self through that. Thats just something i'll have to worry about later but as for now just concentrate on the other weght i have left to loose.

So COME ON SCALES KEEP BEING NICE TO ME lol

:confused::biggrin::ohmy:

I spoke with the lady over our plastic surgery clinic the other day (who is a bypass pt) and she looked awesome. She had lost 125lbs and looked awesome. She told me that if you are planning to have excess skin removed, that you need to start getting your PCP to start documenting skin problems now, so it will be in your medical record. She also had the new Lipo that they do on her back. She said its done with a laser. They kind of liquify the fat and then suck it out, so it is the less brutal... She also said that it tightens the skin. Pretty cool. She said that she had it done at lunch one day and was back at work the next. Pretty cool!

I equate getting on bhe scales with that of playing a slot machine at the Silver Star. I'm all like "come on red white and blue 7s!"

Thats how i feel. Sometimes i win and sometimes i loose. lol

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
