Where did these wrinkles suddenly come from??!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Well I do Celebrate my weight loss, ready to tumble over into overweight from straight obesity. My PCP is going to delete morbid obesity from my post- visit summery if I have to stand over him with a pointed stick. It has not an easy struggle, I have the BMR of a seasick sea slug, my skin tone has gone pfft, I have wrinkles on each side of my lips , I think I look like a scrawny French bulldog. And Tomkitten, bless his devious little mind, found an ad in one of our newspapers, either the MOUNT VERNON NEWS or the COKUMBUS DISPATCH, came to where I was at waving the paper. " Look Mom, some lady is adverising French bulldog puppies for $750, and YOU thought YOU were worthless!.
Back when I was expecting him I got brown Patches of pregnancy over my cheeks, told they would get better after I delivered WRONG WRONG WRONG!
And nowv that I have lost weight, have cheekbones, they look more prominent. Still could be the Native American blood Daddy's side denies having any of. Well people are paying more attention to me now, remember Obese people are ignored, just like we are ignored we will slink off to a cave somewhere.
Well I am having people ask if I have been abused, are those healing bruises on my cheeks? Well the last person who tried yo belittle me died 7 years ago the 4th of this month; if I try to tell them they are leftovers from pregnancy, they look at me, they look st Tomkitten, and then they shake their heads. One lady even pressed into my hand, a business card from our local battered woman shelter. Told her I really don't need it. Nobody will ever lay a hand on me in that manner, this I do promise! If they suspect my Tomkitten that way, isn't going,to happen. He would have to cook his own meals, a toaster , blender and microwave only go so far, the laundry TINKER BELL will go on sabbatical, and he does. ❤clean clothes.
So since my poor little brown spots are of General Concern, I will be visiting our local dermatologist, Dr Kathleen something, she just relocated her practice here, I want to say it's Thompson but I think I'm miss-remembering. Okay I looked it up, her last name is Rogers, her picture doesn't do her justice, everybody has a bad day, and they chose hers for Picture DAY. When she talks and appears more lively she is pretty pleasant to look at!
And I am down to a size 18, but you can see my collarbones, I have a turtle neck, if you would hug me you can feel my ribs, and a worse facet of this WLS? I now sit on my rear pelvic,bones because my lovely tushie fat pad is gone forever. I just will take my egg crate support pillow wherever I go. TK had a fit when I bought it, but it has justified the expense over and over. BABY AIN'T GOT NO BACK NO'MORE! Poor Sir MIX A LOTs he is gone depression meds, he doesn't have ME to sing about ANY LONGER!💦😧

      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.
