I didn't order pancakes.



Recommended Posts

So why do I have two dinner plate sized pancakes on my chest where my breasts used to be? It is a little disconcerting, but I guess I will just accept it as part of the weight loss process. Eighteen days out- what other surprises await me?

Mine are more like beaver tails. I hate it. I'm afraid to ask if they ever regain better shape because I think I know the answer. I hate to think what they will look like when I hit goal. The rest of my body isn't too bad after a 97 pound loss in 4 1/2 months. It's just my droopy boobs. No wonder others get augmentation after WLS. This isn't an option for me since I am a single mother on a teacher's salary.

@@WL WARRIOR You should check with your insurance company. Depending on the severity of weight loss and the psychological effect it has on you, a lot of insurance companies will pay for the augmentation.

LOL! I was just noticing this morning that mine look like a first grade art project. They're definitely not boob shaped anymore!

Do you know that kiddie song?

"do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro, can you tie'em in a knot, can you tie 'em in a bow, can you throw'em over your shoulder like a continental soldier, do your ears hang low"

Substitute boobs for ears and you got me ????

Me too! I have sung that song for years and I still have not had my surgery yet.

@ WL Warrior. I literally laughed out loud at your "beaver tail" comment!!! I will never look at my saggy boobs again without thinking of beaver tails!!

I would like to have mine fixed too, but my kiddie is headed to college soon so until I get her off my payroll it's saggy beaver tails for me too.

Hey- at least we can all have our sense of humor; pancakes on chest and rock in socks!!

Don't quote me, but I hear you lose your booty too.

Yeah...I barely have any booty left...It hurts to sit so I try to avoid it.

Boobs are still DDD but I'm also in the "rocks in socks" club. The interesting thing is my boobs rest on my ribcage rather than my stomach so they don't look half bad when I'm standing. Just don't ask me to bend over!

I tend to not lose from there very much - but these DDD's are already sagging -- I cannot imagine what they'll transform into in the next few months. I told my husband he will only see them in a bra.

Actually, the booty may come back.

;)

Almost 15 months out I'm walking so much more these days. And the booty is coming back a bit. I can only imagine what my booty might do if my knees were tuff enuff to still do squats. ;)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
