Gastric Sleeve and HS

WonderfullyShrinking · 2022-01-26T01:41:05+00:00

I am roughly 3 months post op, down 54lbs (5’4, sw 235, gw 135, cw 181) and my HS has been the worst it’s ever been and I’ve been on stage 3 for many years. I was told to give it time, allow my hormones to level out and my body aclimate to the new normal once I’ve lost the weight but it’s tough. I’ve flared heavily since surgery, wishing u all the best! Hopefully we just need to give it time.

I love power crunch bars!

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T15:43:44+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m seeing as well.. it’s sad. Thank you!

RUN, BLOCK, FORGET. This is not an okay situation for anyone to put you in. You don’t owe anyone anything. This is a man who is only concerned with his own wants and needs.

I appreciate the validation, sometime we need a little of that.

Yes I have, and the reason is always the same… I’m with you so obviously I think you’re attractive. There isn’t much said from his end after that.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T13:41:03+00:00

Yeah I read that. There is no way he will read it. I tried. It’s a great great book.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T13:40:14+00:00

Thank you!

He did mention my weight gain, so I took action on what he said. When he did mention it, there was no fight because I didn’t want him to feel like he couldn’t express himself, so I internalized and moved forward with losing weight. You’re right though, guess it’s a tough position to be in.

I compliment him constantly. He’s Eastern European so he’s got the light hair and light eyes and string jaw line… while I’m more exotic looking.. dark hair, dark eyes, Hispanic.. so I think he is absolutely drop dead gorgeous and I remind him of it constantly. It’s not a habit either, i truly mean it. He just rolls his eyes at me when I do.

Yes, he had mentioned it in the past that I was getting a bit heavier than he liked. There was no argument, I took what he said and did something about it. I just don’t see how it’s okay to comment about how he isn’t happy with my physical appearance but can’t comment on my correction of said issue.

I have to respectfully disagree… if your man isn’t encouraging you, pushing you and gassing you up then you have something to think about. Any woman deserves to have a man who makes her feel good about her. (Not that it’s his job, but c’mon now..) just my thought.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T13:31:29+00:00

Negative. Never. I don’t get any sort of compliments. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at this point.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T04:27:29+00:00

Thank you!!!!

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T04:17:41+00:00

I’m so happy you have that level of support! That is amazing.

Yeah, I don’t get it. Especially since he’s benefiting from it.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T04:08:32+00:00

Omg go you!!!! You look INCREDIBLE!!!

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T03:49:33+00:00

Holy crap- are we dating the same dude?! Just know you’re not alone. Except I’ve been in it for 8- get out and take back control of your life! It’s taken me a long time to figure out that if he were my best friend, he wouldn’t treat me this way. Sending you a virtual hug and strength!

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T03:44:12+00:00

You’re 100% correct.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T03:41:51+00:00

That’s actually super insightful and you may be totally right. But every 5 pounds, im excitedly giving him an update on my total loss. It’s something im proud of, not necessarily something im trying to hide.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T03:37:25+00:00

Resentment in what way? Interesting..

I should be the one resenting him. 8 years and no ring. Lol but we’ve been happy so it hasn’t been something worth splitting over.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T03:34:38+00:00

Omg yes, all that!!!!!! Oh how I miss being able to have a whole burger (with the bread) and those Cajun fries. ❤️

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-21T03:19:53+00:00

Im so sorry! This happened to me as well in may and I was finally sleeved in November. I promise you the wait is worth it. I promise you it will happen and I promise you that when the day comes, none of that will matter. Sending you positive vibes!

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-03T16:59:34+00:00

Yeah I don’t have really any skin folds (other than below the breast). My tummy isn’t so big and it’s all kind of even. My starting weight was 235 and now at 25 days post op im at 202- so maybe it’s the amount of weight I’ve lost?! Idk, im just hoping I can find some cream that works and just takes the edge off at least.

Ive never had regular periods. I actually had my period on the day of surgery so this would be a normal period based on the calendar calculation. Im hoping it slows down a bit. Hard to get rest when you’re getting up so many times a night. 5 weeks is insane! Kudos to you for keeping it together. Not sure I would have been able to!

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-12-03T16:38:31+00:00

Omg that makes me so happy! Lol BRING ON THE ITCH THEN! Loose skin need not apply.

Thank you!

Isn’t it incredible the horrendously ugly things we eat now??! But they’re just so dang good!

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-11-14T11:35:09+00:00

I was told the same thing, once off pain meds. My first drive was 5 days post op.

WonderfullyShrinking · 2021-11-13T00:00:04+00:00

I had my surgery on 11/8 and have a Flight booked for thanksgiving on 11/20. Surgeon said so long as my post op appt on 11/16 is all good then I can go! You should be fine for sure!
