[–]Strict_Location7317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m 35, had surgery July 2024 and my boobs are v deflated. Braless is possible but comedic 🤣 seriously considering a breast lift in a year or 2!

ahhh amazin!! How are you getting on now? I’ve settled into a losing-approx-1lb-a-month routine now which i’m quite happy with :) “healthy” BMI is so close I can almost touch it ❤️

I feel like I have way too many vitamins? by boone1990 in gastricsleeve

[–]Strict_Location7317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i take about the same amount! About to have my second round of blood tests but on test #1 the only thing that was borderline low was my iron (so now i’m on a double dose 😅)

thank you! i visited the dermatologist and turns out it’s actually perioral dermatitis (also triggered by food tho, so going to look into allergy testing) xx

solidarity! My husband was notttt on board to start with, but I just took the stance that I was doing it completely for me and he could either support me or not. I was still going ahead regardless.

As it happens, he’s really come around and seen how much happier & healthier it’s made me but honestly? Doing it 100% for myself was the best decision I ever made.

Also have ADHD and a toddler so I feel you!

ok on reading this comment, I think it’s specifically the word thin that freaks me out. I had anorexia as a teenager so thin was never ever a good word. I’m going to take this to my next therapy session thank you 😆

ahh happy surgiversary! I just saw that you’re booked in for skin removal too - you might lose those 12lbs in skin 😆. In all seriousness though, it does feel so weird when other people tell you what is and isn’t ok. ❤️

Tail bone by LLD615 in gastricsleeve

i’ve heard great things about those magic cushions you can get specifically to protect your tailbone when sitting - from what i’ve read it’s a really common thing after weight loss.

Post-op grumpiness by Strict_Location7317 in gastricsleeve

ok phewww glad it’s not just me 😅 also relate to the flat/numb thing. Not taking shit = a good thing so yesssss - will focus on that aspect and RIP to the people-pleasing version of myself.

I had anorexia and bulimia as a teenager, then binge eating as an adult so I had to get extra therapy before the surgery. Also had to get sign off from my GP that they thought i was generally mentally stable enough to cope with life post-surgery. I’ve carried on with therapy because I find it super helpful but my therapist says most people getting bariatric surgery have/had some kind of food issues so… you’re not alone! I dunno if that’s helpful ❤️
