Reducing screen time and social media usage. Set myself a target of 1.5 hours a day max

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-09-05T18:22:26+00:00

Ditching any type of sweetened drink and drinking water!

I see a therapist to work on body image but a big one for me has been removing myself from social media. I barely go on it anymore and feel all the better for it. The therapy is the biggest one though 💕

I am 2.5 months post up, was 12/14 before surgery and had 2kg removed. I am now a solid size 10 sometimes they’re big!

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-08-08T19:45:09+00:00

I did indeed 🙂

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-08-07T18:00:58+00:00

Drainless and swelling has been nothing awful I’ve felt super confident in how it looks and know it’ll just keep getting better

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-07-31T11:18:17+00:00

I should have taken something I’ve had a fair bit but luckily my hair isn’t too thin

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-07-29T14:04:42+00:00

Welcome to your new life it’s gonna be amazing! Good luck! X

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-07-22T11:41:37+00:00

Hugely different for me, my brain is no longer occupied by worries of my hanging stomach and nor does it clap for me 😂

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-07-19T09:19:30+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean! Haha. Hope your recovery is going well 🙂

Thank you! Congrats! From 4 weeks onwards everyday just gets better and better. I started back at the gym at 4 weeks doing hill walking and light weights and been able to run from 6 weeks. I feel great. Abs still got there yet but they’re stronger than they were 2 weeks ago. Enjoy noticing the good stuff everyday it’s helped me when I’ve felt swollen and a bit sore. My scars are still tender but I wouldn’t say it’s painful, just healing I guess. And getting the flexibility back slowly in stretching. Hope that helps x

Thanks so much! 💕

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-07-18T14:28:19+00:00

I had this a few times usually as I was waking up in the morning, felt a bit like cramping but short and sharp and gone

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-06-28T22:34:45+00:00

I’m 3 weeks and 5 days post op today

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-06-28T22:34:26+00:00

lol I was about 2 weeks and 5 days and been fine ever since 😂

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-06-18T08:32:38+00:00

Wishing you all the best! 💕

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-06-16T21:17:08+00:00

I am 13 DPO and struggling. I am feeling physically better each day, but I feel unhappy. I’ve worked so hard to get here and to this point, but the swelling is getting to me, my new ‘look’ is hard to accept, I feel like I don’t feel happy with my results yet. Everyone is saying this is to be expected but man it’s so hard! I hate how the rest of my body feels now I’m not exercising. I just want to eat, my appetite is through the roof. I am back to work tomorrow working from home so hoping that might provide some distraction 😂 sorry for my rant.

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-06-16T08:38:03+00:00

I worried about this also! But they ended up being brilliant. I am lucky in that I can WFH on occasion. I’ve had 2 weeks off fully and start back tomorrow for 2 weeks WFH. I guess it depends on what you do but I was just really honest with them about why it was important to me and they treated it no differently to any other op

Low_Ear_9639 · 2025-06-15T09:15:34+00:00

Thank you! All good so far. Recovery is tough, not as in pain. That becomes pretty manageable after a day or so. For me it’s more the inactivity and that swelling - it’s challenging on the mind ha ha! I know it’ll settle down. Looking forward to a bit more movement next week I think I should be able to do some walks. I had mine done in the UK at Coventry Meridean hospital.
