My weight is fluxuating between 216 and 222 - feels like I'm circling the drain so to speak. Plugging along with Weight Watchers and working out but having a hard time getting my weight to stablize. Considered going in for a fill, but it seems like I'm stuck at least once a day and vomitting at least once a week. Wish I could say it's consistantly due to the same food violations(pizza, bagels, bread - you know, the "No-No's") but it happened the other morning with my scrambled eggs(couldn't even get them down - my dog loved it though) and I had a fun two hour bout in the bathroom the other night over one stalk of steamed asparagus and less than an ounce of grilled chicken. I can actually eat a slice of thin crust pizza with no problem. Don't really eat bread anymore and forget bagels - but when three mini pretzels cause a problem it gets frustrating. Sometimes I'm afraid to go out to eat for fear that I going to have an incident. Frankly, there are many days when I make my breakfast or lunch and it takes 45 minutes to get it down! Oh well - I keep reminding myself that my weight gain was my own damn fault and now I'm paying the price. Speaking of prices paid - with the weight loss has come the giant jelly roll which fortunately with the right spanx-type garment I can mostly conceal, but I gotta wonder how much this thing weighs? Oh so much fun to have to buy pants etc to accomedate the "roll' then have to have the waist taken in! Came home from the gym the other day and notice this sweaty(wet?) semi-circle on the lower abdomen of my yoga pants. Probably TMI, but I'm now getting a permenant red rash and tissue breakdown under the "roll". I'm using baby butt cream and powder in an attempt to keep it dry, but if it's this bad now, what'll it be when(if) I get to my goal weight ...another 75 pounds from now?! Maybe I should just pack the area with paper towel, throw on my gridle and live with it! Amusingly enough, my insurance will cover the surgery since I had WLS - but if I just lost the weight on my own it wouldn't!?! The plastic surgeons I met with re; my breast reconstruction also consulted on my "tummy tuck" - they suggest that I need to be at or near my goal weight before even considering the latter procedure. Course with a roll this big, maybe they could just pull it up and create some faux boobs!

5 Confessions (Join In)
makemyownluck replied to ebthompson2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks, Trcyprkr. I do know that it may be easier to get pregnant after weight loss. I'm more concerned with the permanent damage to my self esteem to ever want to date again. I haven't dated in years and I'm at the point where I don't want to be touched - or looked at, for that matter. I also confess that I fear never being in a significant relationship because I dislike my physical self so much. Probably TMI, but that's more along the lines of what I mean... I'm glad I'm not the only basket case out here! I've always said I don't want kids, when really i don't want A BABY. I like my sleep! I don't like the idea of trusting a babysitter with a child that can't talk to me and tell me if they're being taken care of properly. A kid, I'd love a kid. As I get older and have a closer bond with my mom, I kinda wish I had the same thing, a kid that would grow up to be an adult, having a hand at raising someone to be a productive member of society... I'd love THAT. But finding a man to marry? Getting married? Giving up my singledom? Giving up my living alonedom? Having a baby wake me up several times a night? No thanks! lol! That said, the idea of not having a child (and factor in that I'm an only child myself), I get nervous thinking about what my life will be like after my parents are gone... it makes me incredibly sad to think about being alone. I appreciate everyone letting me express myself here. It's therapeutic and so many of you are supportive and kind. Thank you so much! -
Hi Zoumommy, I was also sleeved on 2/3, so I am no expert by far, but have experienced what you are talking about. I try not to be too hard on myself as I am only a bit over 3 weeks out and have found this new way of eating to be a HUGE learning process. I am on soft foods, every surgeon is different re: post op diets, but I find that if I wait too long to eat then I will not chew my food enough because I am hungry and then it will hurt. Just consider it a lesson learned. Also, I have found this week I am hungry all of the time! I am PMS'ing (sorry tmi) so I think that is not helping. Even when I eat until satisfied, I find that I am hungry shortly after, which hasn't happened before. Maybe it's a 3 week post op thing? As our tummies heals, they start wondering where all the food went? Good luck to you!

HWT: 270 SWT: 260 CWT: 234 Surgery Date: 6/18/13 I'm down 26 lbs. since surgery, but 31 lbs. if you count my 2-day pre-op diet. It seems kind of slow to me, but I'll take it. Just started my period this am (TMI), so hoping this will be a great week! -

It's Allie's turn for plastics!
allielee replied to allielee's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Good Morning! mimi- they don't carry DD's with no underwire :tongue2: I heard to try Walmart. Heading there today for a bit. Shalee- I hope they end up being the same lol. I am too pretty scared about the thigh lift but I can't imagine it being worse than what I just went through and believe me I will be buying the pain pump for that too. I hear ya about the money but the thigh lift is only 6 grand, what 6 grand more when I spent almost 19 lol. You only live once. Tlam- Congrats on your TT. I agree it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.. could have been the pain pump though lol. My doc says I need to wear the compression garment for three weeks post surgery. I am sure I will continue to wear it even after. It really makes me feel safer lol. When it is off I am afraid my guts will spill out. I can hardly wait to not wear it at night though. Mine goes from bottom of breast to knees. I don't think that is the normal compression garment but since I had lipo of the thighs I had to have the whole thing. there is a cut out for the crotch. Ok so my hubby and I have been experimenting since a couple of days ago. No "intercourse" but jeez ok how do I say this politely.. the "O" was gahhhh amazing! The only thing is my tummy muscles started spasming like crazy. Thank God I was still wearing my garment. He can't keep his hands off of me lol. Ok sorry if that was TMI.. I just know some were wondering when intimacy can begin.. you just have to be creative. I know I'm in trouble tomorrow though. All he keeps saying is THURSDAY your drains come out.. with wiggly eyebrows. lol.. I'm excited and nervous. We will be extremely careful but I can hardly wait hahahaha. -
Why do women have anal sex?
Fanny Adams replied to Oregondaisy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hmmm... the toy idea doesn't always work. Fingers, yes! Go slowly, yes YES! But for me, I've never been able to get into toys there. They're just too hard and uncomfortable. My honey is well hung (9" and thick) and I was admittedly terrified at the idea of taking him there at first, although I had had a lot of pleasurable experiences in the past with less endowed guys. But even after 3 years, it still takes me a long while to work up to it with him and I have never like toys as substitutes or preparation, even though I enjoy then in the more usual place. One thing that my love does, that makes all the difference for me, is to hold himself still and ready and encourage ME to take all the control over how far and how quickly I ease into it. It can sometimes take a really long time before I relax enough, but when I do, it's oh boy! TAKE ME NOW!! Probably TMI for most people, but I just wanted to put it out there that toys aren't always the answer. They work for some, but if they don't work for you, that doesn't mean that the whole idea won't work... -
Hey aussie kelloff, I have 40 kgs to lose to get to MY goal weight, and 60-65 to get to my SURGEONS goal weight. Even at my goal, i worry heaps about the amount of skin I'll have hanging everywhere. I've been so fat for so long (and this is TMI, but my fat rolls are like.....deep? deeply creased? I dunno how to describe it) that I just know I'm going to look like a sharpei sooner than later. I have dreadful images of me looking like Fat B@stard at the end of The Spy Who Shagged ME, when he's all hanging skin and says his neck looks like a vagina! hahaha Because I've got a serious double chin, and I will most certainly have the old chicken wattle. But, I'd rather have loose skin that I can hide under clothes than all this fat that I can't even hide under a tent.

OK - TMI coming up, but need help. Got my tubes tied with my last kid and since then I have two added problems: I crave chocolate a week before my period (I don't normally like the stuff) and my blood flow is more than it's ever been. So, after sleeping through this past week I realized last night that I'm low on iron! No wonder since I can't eat meat and usually I just have a steak or two during "that week" and that keeps me going. Any suggestions on getting my iron up? I'd like to start working out, but can't get out of bed! Ahhhh!

I MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stepped on the scale...today's weight 208!! Had a fabulous BM this morning (I know TMI) and was wearing shorts.... My starting weight was 213, so if I do my math right, I lost the 5 pounds!!!!

OK, I was able to pass by the cupcakes (which are still on the counter this morning). Maybe I'll be able to make it the rest of the day! By then the family would have them all eaten! My DH was sick last night so I didn't "get any" so I just took a shower instead....yeah, don't hear that from a woman too often, eh? I know, a little TMI, but I'm in a good mood....

Why do women have anal sex?
Ready4a2ndChance replied to Oregondaisy's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Well, i'm new to the topic in question...........hi. lol. My husband and I have known eachother since we were 15. We tried this (meaning he tried it during a doggy style session without my permission) when we were like 17/18 and he didn't have a clue as to what he was doing and lets just say it ended with me screaming something about a broom up his ass and me crying and I left. Fastforward about 8yrs........now married. We tried it again, (this time I knew it was coming, lol) and it felt a little odd but after trying a couple more times I liked it more and more..............i've only ever done it with him, and he's only ever done it with me. We enjoy it on occassion, it's not something we do all the time and it's a great alternative when i'm on my period..........:tt2: a little TMI but it's great when I "sit" on him and have a silver bullet in front, amazing :tt2: -
Frustated and Janet- I am with you on the maintenance issue. I also don't have a clue on how to maintain weight. I had actually gone down to 181 and now am back up again to 185. Partly because I am so constipated ( sorry TMI :biggrin:), today I took 5 MOM tablets and still nothing. I don't know what to do. Have tried Benefiber too and nothing. I might have to ask my dr. for a prescription. But anyways no way I am getting an unfill., I can see how that would lead to big time weight re-gain. Boy, this is all such a great learning experience!

Fluids and Fiber - TMI story but important
Bornagainbabe replied to DownInSocal's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I can identify with that but not as bad as you fortunately. I have even had my fingers up there (TMI I know but it's true and definitely not recommended) to get it out and bled a bit afterwards. I take Benefiber now which I think is the same sort of thing as you are taking and it really helps keep me regular and strain-free (I can't afford to strain as have had hernia and ab surgery as well)! Hope you are feeling much better now. Bet it felt like you were passing a rubgy ball didn't it?! Helenxxx -
Kerri, I just had to giggle when I read this because I have the exact same problem!! In fact in the Hawaiian dress that my DH bought me before Christmas, that's the problem spot. As soon as I lose that, I'll be super happy. My DH has been playing with it now (I know, TMI) though like it's a third boob. It drives me up a wall, but he gets a kick out of it. ~Nichole

Well let see if this post - I just posted on another thread and the page just keeps flashing... And looks like my post is gone - so I reloaded - lets see if it does it again. Karla - I'm a total bad boy girl - all my bf's & Dh were bad boy types no wonder never of those relationships ever worked out - well gotta say one wasn't Chris the Artist but that didn't work either Plus I was 38 when the BSB came out!! May have thought they were cute - but way over the boy bands by then :0) I can't say there are any singers out their who I think are handsome/cute - Oh well ya one TRACE Atkins :wink: Told you to try the popcorn !!! It's a life saver for me... and you gotta make this work for you - I try and ignor my hunger real or fake - but when I can't - Popcorn !!! Well after telling you I get up at 6-6:30 last night - I didn't get up til 7:35 this morning - I stayed up late last night and I thought I set the alarm for 6 - but I guess I didn't - so no gym this morning... My GF who's coming over today teaches water arobics - so we will be doing that this afternoon - it's suppose to be 110 degrees today !!!! Hell the pool is going to be hot.. Doggies groomer @ 10 this morning - may go do some wii in a bit - but my tummy is acting up - tmi (runs)... But love the scales this morning 137 !!! Well off to surf the net - Have a great day ladies - CBL:wub: Oh forgot - Karla - get the sf hazenut or whatever flavor you like of the creamers - that's what I use - I tried the SF hazelnut syrup and didn't like it - the sf creamer has like 35 calories - I have never counted those calories cuz I only have one cup maybe 2 a day - and I have never counted down to the itty bitty calories like some (lol my dd )

Thank you so much for your response and it's not tmi - I'd really rather know in advance The fewer surprises the better!! I also wanted to say wow, your most recent post with photo's are staggering! Can I ask, how often do you work out now? And do you find you're more motivated because you're losing good weight or does it just get a bit easier cause you don't have to carry around as much excess weight? Thanks, Lila

Well my intestines finally woke up! Yeah. Liquids in, liquids out. Ugh. Sorry for the TMI.

Kathy, I would rate the pain/discomfort initially at about a 4. Now it is a 1 at the worst. It isn't really pain. In the beginning getting up and down was the worst as with any surgery. The thing I struggle with the most is mentally. The compression garment and binder make me feel closterphobic in my own body if that makes sense. I don't really sleep well at night because I wake up when I move around in the bed. The limited activity makes me afraid I will lose my drive and motivation. I haven't really been following a "diet" lately because this is a healing time not a weightloss time. So, I guess the biggest deal is that I am afraid of falling of the wagon. Having said all of that, I am really doing great. i just have moments. I can sleep on my tummy, back, or side now. I don't have to sleep with pillows under my legs or my wedge under my head. The swelling is much better. Getting up and down is not even difficult. This is TMI, but DH and I have even resumed relations without difficulty, just very carefully. I won't tell you at what point after surgery we resumed that because I would probably be in big trouble with my cybermom, Kathy. LOL Anyway, I love the way my body looks. I can't wait to wear clothes without all these garments underneath. I want to know what I reallyl look and feel like. Ok, that was a book. Probably much more than you asked for, but the main struggles are definately mentally, because physically, I am one pretty tough gal. I just love that we can come to this thread and share our most personal things and have this support. You guys are the best!!! Mamato, I see you. What's the latest on the job??

This thread is going to be sooo inappropriate!
Froggi replied to WASaBubbleButt's topic in Rants & Raves
Mac glad you're doing well and losing weight! Plain is always on rampages isn't he? lol Here's something he can have a rampage about. This thread made me giggle "Floater" Enigma (TMI Warning) -
Oh Lyn, That is soooo funny!! You always crack me up!! BEWARE......WAY TMI!!! Ok, It is probably way inappropriate to share this on this thread, but I just couldn't resist. You all will understand the significance of this more than anyone so I just have to share. Last night I put on my sports bra(it holds the girls up better than any other), a tight fitting tshirt and some of those very short cotton short (you know, the ones that don't even cover your backside). Ok, all dressed and ready for DH to come home. We love to ride 4 wheelers and DH's 4 wheeler is in the carport at the back of the house where he parks. When I knew he was fixing to be home I put a small banket over the 4wheeler and sat in a seductive manner on his 4wheeler. He got home and didn't even look toward the carport. As he walked by I wistled at him. The look of shock on his face was priceless. The rest I will leave to your imagination. This is SO out of character for me, but I have to say, I felt so attractive and free spirited. Last night he said that I have a sparkle in my eyes that has been gone for a long, long time, and that the fiesty spirit is coming back!! I told him that he better watch out, after my tt there is no telling where he might find me waiting for him!!:biggrin: Ok, planning to run outside today. It's raining. Will run on treadmill later. Cleaning house and rearranging furniture this morning!!

TMI, bowel movements
itsnevertoolate replied to amanda4166's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
TMI alert !!!! I am so glad to see this post. I'm 4 days post-op and was feeling pretty good so I decided to go to the store. OMG I actually couldn't hold it and I pooped my pants. I don't think I can stay in the house for the next week and a half until I go on pureed foods. Is there any option other than living on my toilet for the next 10 days? -

Hey Paul, I really didn't know till recently but it really is TMI. Funny thing is that now that I know what it means and what it refers to, I actually look out for it when I shop or go out. LOL, I'm like, "Wow, he got a FUPA" Fat upper Pen*s Area. -
I'm doing great today except I was busy this morning and forgot to drink much and now I'm behind on my Water. I might only get in 6 cups. I have my Protein and my 10000 steps though. Ad TMI but I had a real BM! Yay Benefiber! It's good to hear from you, Aussiegirl! First weigh in tomorrow. I can't believe it has been a week.
