March 13th had my sleeve surgery. Everything went well. BW -375 SW- 330. I am a little sore but I am so excited.

I'm confident naked, loose skin and all. We get older. Shite happens. No one, upon their death bed, ever says....I wish I'd spent more time hiding and being self conscious. Be bold. Love your battle scars, they're part of your truth. If you really want some plastics...meh...that's cool...go for it, if it flies your particular freak flag and makes you feel good. Why not? But at the end of the day....we all get old and saggy and our ears grow and our tits and balls hang to the ground...and you might as well embrace that. It's human, it's life, and foregoing a tragedy...none of us gets spared the experience:)

Generally yes. Call and find out. Mine was no polish, no fake/acrylic/gel nails so the pulse-ox can be accurate. Better safe than try to remove them just before surgery.

I was in the exact same situation. I felt great my first week post op, and then I just hit a wall. Even taking out the trash left me shaky and weak. I slowly recovered my energy, and am pretty much back to normal. I received a B12 shot a week ago, I'm not sure if it helped or not. My surgeon believes it is purely due to consuming such low cals.

Maybe all that adrenaline has left and you're sinking,into the Blahs.Part of it even could be finishing up winter, even the winter feels tired. Take a walk outside if you can. Fresh air can give you a new perspective on things. And keep pisting, you are among friends here. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh well damn. That just hurt my feelings. Honestly, I think he may be dealing with some issues regarding your smaller frame. He isn’t used to you being smaller so he is acting out in either jealous, insecurity or both. I am sorry you have to hear that but if losing the weight makes you happy, that’s all the matter. Sometimes we have to cut the dead root to really blossom.

Ankle weights I'm kidding but I'm not sure Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app
