Strange Hard Things Under My Skin....?



Recommended Posts

I've been very concerned about these strange, hard lumpy things under my skin. Some are bumpy and growth-like. Some are long and more smooth. They've been appearing more and more as the days go by. They seem to have something to do with body structure....Oh wait........what?? My husband informs me that these are called "bones." Is anyone else finding weird stuff like this?

I actually do have a couple lipomas (fatty benign growths) under the skin.

I have one on the side of my arm that you can't really see but now that the fat is coming off that's becoming visible.

I had a benign thyroid nodule that I found years ago after losing weight because it was more visible on my neck.

I think the only benefit to being fat is less damage if you fall down the steps- with all the padding. Had it happen- no problem. :)

Ooh, actually that's a funny story. I was going up the steps and said "Stupid, (actually didn't say that) why don't you put your coffee cup right here in the middle of the steps so on your way down you won't forget it?"

What do you know, I'm coming down the steps, forget about the cup and get my toes stuck in the cup and go sailing down. coffee is all over the walls, steps, me, and I'm pulling my foot out of a cup. :D It really was funny,

..especially since I didn't break any bones because of my fat. :P

It's so weird to be able to feel bones you were once never able too! I love that my collar bones are starting to show.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
