Some Surprises I didn't expect with WLS
Lynda486 replied to Holodisplay's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am constantly cold, I dress in layers now. It is so much easier to do everything! My husband says I am too boney, my hip bones stick out and my spine. I am shocked when I look in the mirror and sometimes find myself staring at myself saying who is that? My wrinkle (y) skin drives me crazy! I feel pretty darn good! -
Thank-you so much for thinking of me!

My Iron is at 35, normal is 50 - 170. My Transferrin is at 8, normal is 20 -55 My kidney levels are high excpet my egfr which is low. What are your thoughts? Haven't talked to the DR. yet. Thanks!

Well just look at you! Well done! I just started wearing a small size too. IT took me awhile to convince myself that I was a small! Looking great!

If I eat healthier I lose weight, if I try and eat more calories I end up with digestive problems. I need to find a diet that will help me stay at the weight I am.

Hurtful reactions to progress
Lynda486 replied to skyewolfe's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have stopped talking about it because people's eyes seem to glaze over when I say anything. I have been told I am to thin, my skin is too wrinkled and that my clothes hang off me. My boss even said "are you trying to lose weight?" Anyway, I guess it depends on the person. If it is someone who has been cheering you on, then yes talk about it. As for your mother, I would not bring it up unless she asks. Be the way, you are doing fantastic! Keep up the great work! -
Thank-you and my prayers for you as well. My guilt has been unbelievable and I have been put on two medications. I am getting to the point where I can sometimes talk about him without crying.

I get told by friends and co workers that I shouldn't lose any more weight. I started a new job in July and went out and bought new size medium clothes and now I am in a small.

I have been feeling pretty good about how I have done with my weight loss. That is until this past week when my husband and my son separately told me that I need to do something about my loose skin. That it looks bad and I need to tighten it up. I have loose skin on my upper arms, thighs and a bit on my upper calves. Are there any exercises that you all have done that are effective in tightening these areas up? I have started with some light dumb bells for my arms, but am clueless as far as my legs go. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I also use it everyday, and have had no issues with the munchies. -

Exercise for loose skin
Lynda486 replied to Lynda486's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thank-you all for your uplifting and supportive comments. I am 55 so myself I don't care what the world thinks. It was hurtful to hear it, because I know there is nothing I can do about it, but they keep cheering me on. I have starting to lose weight again, but at a much slower rate. So maybe that will help future issues. Again thanks to all of you, you are my biggest supporters! -
Oh no! Is it sprained or broken? Heal quickly!

Does anyone else get a stomach ache from Crystal Light? It only happens at the beginning of the glass, but I can drink the rest pain free. Weird!

You have done amazing!

My thighs do look like a shar pei , but my calf and ankles look normal. My husband insists that I can fix it with exercise.

Progress Photos - 6 Months!
Lynda486 replied to ChubRub's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You look great! You and I have similar stats but I am at 9 months. Keep up the good work! -
I also have these issues. At least I can say I am very regular. Also what I eat predicts how bad my gas will get later in the day.

Wow, amazing! I don't think I could jump out of a perfectly good airplane though 😁 Congratulations!
