I went to disneyland recently and as where I used to fit really snug in all the rides, this time I had lots of room and even slid across the seat on a few of the rides. And my spine hurt from hitting the seat backs all day, never had that happen before.

Wow. I guess that whole saying, "Cushion for the pushing" made sense.

I can't wait until I have: protuding bones, scabs, the chills, and bruises.

Sounds awesome.

(Actually...there is no sarcasm there. :biggrin: It's the little things that we can delight in when we're at/get to goal.)

"Look Ma! Bones!"

Hey Ladies,

I'm with Glou - can't wait until I have protruding bones, chills (well, I have those now), scabs and bruises...

I don't think I've seen my hipbones EVER...and though my legs seem to have fared well during my ups and downs with weight, I'll be glad to have some bones to rub together while sleeping:lol:

I'm also looking forward to the day when my booty sticks out further than my tummy! My husband always said I had 'junk in the trunk' but I can't tell because the padding in my tummy always catches my eye first!:unsure:

I am finding that since being banded and losing almost all of my excess weight, my tail bone really aches. I notice it even more when I am sitting on the floor, or in the bathtub, or doing floor exercises. It is almost as if it had been cushioned for years by my genorous, pillowy tushy which has all but dissappeared.

Has anyone else experienced this??? Could it be that banding has become a big pain in my arse or do you think it is completely unrelated???

Amazingly enough, this has finally gone away. I think I just needed a few months to get used to changes in my personal padding, lol. :wink_smile:

Ohhh, great laugh HeatherO. My son and I just had a great chuckle over this post.

About 7 years ago I lost about 70 lbs and I remember my tailbone and back hip bones hurt for a while. And, for maybe about a month when I lay down my front hip bones stuck out, so, when I slept on my stomach they hurt in the morning too.

...Alas that was the moment my reproductive system decided to work and well you know. Child number 2 came 9 months later.

LOL, I think we have a lot in common . . . I seem to be suffering from that affliction myself. :tongue2:

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
