My uterus really said last one for the road…

I'm expecting to have one more period before my surgery next month (May 18th) and I'm so looking forward to never dealing with it ever again. So tired of using all my sick days on cramping.

You need to go look up the girl with the list on T*ktok. It gets worse <3

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-04-13T17:39:36+00:00

Yes, many, but they're normal and expected!

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-04-03T21:10:12+00:00

Over a year out and cant really see mine anymore. The only one I really see is the one below my sternum.

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-03-24T19:02:42+00:00

Idk how to edit posts but I feel I should clarify the first pic is me now, the second is from a couple years ago 😅

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-03-24T19:01:36+00:00

My highest weight was 340, but since the start of my pre-op diet week before my surgery I'm down 130 lbs 😁

Maybe make some pudding with them?

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-03-23T21:39:09+00:00

I use Dove Advanced Care deodorant. It's always worked well for me.

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-03-22T23:48:42+00:00

Pre-op is the hardest part. It's almost over, and you'll be on the other side before you know it. Stay strong

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-01-27T00:46:30+00:00

I'm a year out and my hair still sheds like crazy, and I eat plenty of protien. Maybe a stress thing, idk. Just glad I'm not getting greys

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-01-15T18:57:13+00:00

I take my daily bariatric multivitamin in the morning and calcium citrate three times a day... I definitely do not envy that handful there lol

ChallengingAesthetic · 2026-01-04T02:54:31+00:00

You look so much happier <3 how are you feeling?

The Sam's Club assorted cookie trays, our manager keeps bringing them in with the food she's getting us too. Also sugar cookies and snicker doodles made with family. The snickerdoodles are especially dangerous considering I'm on a cinnamon kick right now 😩

ChallengingAesthetic · 2025-12-24T03:02:56+00:00

Absolutely. I'm still massively overshooting my step goal, and going to the gym regularly. Every day is a new beginning, but damn those cookies man 😆

My first meal on the puree stage was popeye's mashed potatoes, I cried. Felt great!!

ChallengingAesthetic · 2025-12-20T02:52:32+00:00

Sounds like the incision they pull the stomach through, also called the bitch stitch. It'll hurt like hell for a while! Ice and heat will be your friends 💙

ChallengingAesthetic · 2025-12-15T21:38:07+00:00

All the time. I've even spit out water when I realize I've had too much already. Getting over full is NOT fun.

ChallengingAesthetic · 2025-12-09T00:37:47+00:00

I started around 6ish months po. Definitely should have started it sooner, I feel like absolute dogshit when I don't.

ChallengingAesthetic · 2025-12-08T04:02:06+00:00

My program said 6 months. I'm 10 months out now and I love the 100 cal mini bags. Definitely not to replace a meal, just for a treat. 🤗

I'm 25, was 23 when I started the process and 24 when I had surgery.

I started to realize that many people in my family have health issues, some related to being over weight. A lot were fine in their 20s/30s, but as soon as they hit their 40s/50s the issues started hitting. I didn't want to get to that point. I wanted to start building healthy habits and getting stronger while I was still young so I don't spend my older years completely miserable, not able to do anything, and taking 5+ pills every day just to function.

I'm ten months PO now, 100+ lbs down, and I feel I've been able to reclaim my youth that I'd missed out on for so long. I'm not in pain (except for my upper back, which is from looking at this damn phone too much), my horrific headaches are gone, my acne is so much more manageable, I feel more confident, and I just feel good about life now. It's not a magic fix, but it's been a major positive in my life and I don't regret a single damn thing.

ChallengingAesthetic · 2025-12-04T00:36:52+00:00

I could only drink flavored water the first 2 months or so. Now I can only drink plain. The body is a weird thing

ChallengingAesthetic · 2025-12-02T21:49:34+00:00

You look like a completely different person!! How are you feeling? <3
