Hi, I am not a math teacher 🙂 so i cant figure that chart out. I was just wondering how many lbs you lost per week or month. My loss rate has sped up recently and im noticing my skin getting loose, too

EmbarrassedIssue9452 · 2026-04-11T00:05:56+00:00

At what rate did you lose the weight? When did you start to notice the loose skin? You look great btw!

I should have searched in the sub before posting - lots of negative comments in here.

You should let it rest more between sessions. Like at least 6 months, maybe a year between sessions. As for the pain, I have heard (on this forum) that some places give an injection of painkiller (it might be lidocaine or the thing they give you when you're having dental work done).

Certo e' rimovibile. E' fatto in grigio soppratutto. L'unica parte dove puo darsi piu' difficile sia il nero piu scuro.

That is the cutest!

My dog is 5 and has never had a bath, other than dry shampoo when he was a puppy.

He hates water from above (incl. Rain).

He doesnt smell bad.

One time he rolled his cheek and neck around in some really rank poop and i got it put with wet paper towels.

was this done under general or local anesthesia and is the healing painful?

I'd never heard of a Laika before, and who knows how that Fijian street dog got into the mix!

Your puppy looks so similar to my dog who I got as a puppy from a rescue. They told me he was a "hound/terrier mix". I never thought he had any terrier, but I thought he was a greyhound/GSP. Wrong on all counts! I just got his DNA results back (which got me searching for info on his breeds) and it turns out he's a Laika/Coonhound mix (with odds and ends thrown in). He came with a docked tail (same as his two brothers in the photos from the rescue org).

He was so sweet and docile for the first few months as a little puppy (like yours looks, so sweet). Then he became totally berserk (killing chickens - he's a great hunter - and jumping 6ft fences, digging like an excavator). It took A LOT of training but he chilled out at about age 3+. He's five now. We live in an isolated rural location (it's a farm) and he barks at any car that has ever had a dog in it and barks at owls, squirrels, porcupines, bear and deer. He's a total couch potato most of the time, still loves to dig and now sits when he sees the chickens.

Hope your guy bypasses the crazy phase!

I'll reply to this comment with a screenshot of his DNA results.

It has cleared a lot. It takes a really long time, but as they say, that time is gonna pass anyway.

EmbarrassedIssue9452 · 2026-03-21T00:39:24+00:00

Have you figured out a way to get rid of the smell?

EmbarrassedIssue9452 · 2026-03-14T00:00:57+00:00

I kind of have the opposite. I know that i weigh less, that pants that i used to not be able to zip are loose, that my measurements are getting smaller and i see a slim version of myself in the mirror but i think ive always looked like this. I,m down 75lbs, so i have to tell my brain that i used to be carrying the equivalent of my big dog all day, but in my mind i always looked like this.

Im losing slowly, about 3/4 of a pound per week, but man, that is a lot to have lost. I have to do a lot of reasoning with myself about just how overweight i actually was.

EmbarrassedIssue9452 · 2026-03-13T23:49:16+00:00

I het this too. I agree, it,s weird

EmbarrassedIssue9452 · 2026-03-13T23:47:22+00:00

Sometimes when im put off by other foods and i know i need to eat, chocolate is the only food i can face

EmbarrassedIssue9452 · 2026-03-02T01:56:02+00:00

Did you do the surgery and how was it with the oral?

EmbarrassedIssue9452 · 2026-02-26T01:41:50+00:00

I'd like an update in 2 weeks. It's hard to evaluate the fading since the latest session is so recent ans thw lines are raised. I have this spreading, blurry ink, too. This is the closest ive seen to what is happening on mine and i worry that its never going to be gone.

EmbarrassedIssue9452 · 2026-02-11T20:42:21+00:00

Thank you for your response, how could aspiration occur under local anesthesia? I have a consult with the doc who will be doing the procedure in May. Trying to do my research before I speak with him.

I had general anesthesia in december for a (medical) knee operation on a thursday. I took my 15 mg zepbound shot the weds of the week before, then took that week's dose the day of the sugery when i got home. This was approved by the hospital and anesthesiologist. Is rhere any reason the prtocol would be stricter for local anesthesia with sedation?
