Thanks, I will!! He is my biggest support, but maybe we have other issues.... Would love to hear others and how to work through this.
there might be a tiny bit of jealousy, but I don't think that is it. He was my biggest cheerleader and support and I do love him, but I am getting seriously bored! I am not sure if it is because I changed or he changed. I feel like I always want to go out and do stuff...not talking about spending much money, just go out and do stuff. Whether it is a hike, walk, whatever....he is always coming up with an excuse not to do something that requires "exercise" in a fun way. I really don't consider it exercise, I feel like I am my old self again. I used to do all this stuff way before him. I got fat and just couldn't do it much. But I am me again. I really hope we figure this out. I have tried to talk with him, but doesn't go well at times.
I do plan stuff, it feels like I am pulling teeth to get him outside and do something active. I used to be chill because I couldn't shop for clothes, or fit on rides, huff and puff on hikes... But I can do all of that now and want to! Maybe he got used to me being that chill person but now I guess I have changed. I love him, but want to go out and do things more. Guess I will just plan more events and tell him to get in the car. I feel like he got lazier and I got more energetic. Just wondered if anyone else felt the same way or had a similar situation.
I know I have changed!! More active...etc. But I feel like my husband and I are now drifting apart and I am miserable in my marriage! He wants to sit around all the time and watch sports, tv ... Never wants to do anything! Does nothing to spark the romance anymore! I hope u all don't think I am being a bit@h , just curious to see if others have experienced what I am going through? I feel totally different and want to live life, he wants to sit around all the time. Super frustrated now!!
so very true. I can even dress younger. I can't believe how carrying that extra weight hindered me for so many years.
Thank you all for your support! This year has been amazing! I wish you all success on your journey.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel :) You are already on that path.... look how successful you are!
You will do great! Stay with the plan and drink a lot of water. Many people have helped me out with my struggles, and we are all here for you too! I have asked many questions during a few rough patches... stay strong and congratulations on your new life.
I am sure you will! You will have so much energy. The coolest thing is that I no longer have to take the "walk of shame" and get kicked off rides. I was on a plane a few weekends ago and actually pulled the seat belt tighter, not pulling it out for more room!!! Such a head trip.
I never in a million years thought I was going to be the size I am now! Such a mind trip! You are doing fabulous too!!!! You will get to goal soon! The goal number is just a number, I still want to build muscle and I know that weighs more than fat, so I still have a bunch of work to do :)
You will do great!! Just stick with the plan. If I "slip" up, I will pay for my sins and hike, walk or swim it off. Stay strong!
I can't believe that a year ago I was crying as I was entering the hospital doors, completely afraid of having my sleeve.
Today, I am one year out!! I am down 112.5 pounds, weigh 139 and feel like I am freaking 20 again!!! I am turning 40 this year and I feel like I have been given 20 years back of my life! I am able to fit on rides, not huff and puff up stairs, hike without being the last person on the trail! I never thought in a million years that I would be calling the jeans I am sitting in right now my "fat girl jeans" - they are a size 8 and loose. I was not even a size 8 in high school!
Even crazier, I seriously have less laundry and can fit so much more in a suitcase. I am able to walk into a Marshalls and try stuff on :) I love my new life.
Nothing is perfect, I still have the urge to shove food in my mouth, and still upset that I can not try a bunch of stuff because I fill up too fast. But that is the whole point why I had this surgery; so I don't over eat and eat properly. No, I do not have a flat stomach and have the bat wings and inner thigh stuff going on. Still working on it, but... better than the alternative. I hope this shines some light on people who are considering this surgery! It was the best and scariest decision I have made.
Thank you for this info! And the bikini photos of everyone are making me want to have this done sooner! Especially with summer here! I have a lot of research to do and you look amazing!
Hi,
I am considering Plastic Surgery and was wondering if anyone has any experiences that they can share as far as Surgeons in the Bay Area. I am in the Peninsula area... I am looking for real answers, good and bad and if you are happy with the end results and if it was super painful. I have absolutely no idea the cost, and am considering the usual, bat wings, inner thighs and tummy rolls. Would I be right to guess about $25,000 for something like this? How long are we in the hospital? Will insurance pick up the hospital part?
Thanks for sharing your experiences
I am 39 and 9 months out, I am really not sure if anything will snap back, but I really hope so! U gave me a bit of light.
lost a ton there too. I am much happier, but would love to wear a bikini in public. I know it will never be a string bikini but just something that won't make people run from the area saying their eyes hurt! I will keep fighting until I give up. I heard plastics are super expensive! Plus scary. I never thought of my body as I was fatter nor worried about the skin.. But now... Seriously concerned,
