WTG Ceecie ... I measure my losses in "Sophie's" my now 25lb granddaughter ... So I have lost seven and a half Sophie's lol... One is enough to carry!

 

[ceecie74]

I bet if you tried to pick her up and walk you'd not get very far, it shows just how much strain our poor bodies were under (wish I followed after my mum build wise she's never been over 9st 7 apart from pregnancies) she's 73 now - pic was taken in Feb when she was 72 I'm sure you will lose it Ceecie you have done so well xx

Oh I'd never be able to carry her!! All of my aches and pains have gone..... I really regret putting my body through what I did. Fingers crossed I can reverse any damage to joints before I get much older X

 

[ceecie74]

Comparison from last month. I'm still averaging 10lbs per month.

Wow can really see the difference in just a month, I must get O/H to do more pics of me, its the only time I "see" the weight loss.

Some of my damage seems gone. My knees however seem too far gone.

 

[ceecie74]

My knees used to click when I bent them too far, like getting in the bath or squatting ....seem fine now!!

 

[Butterfly_lady]

It was my left ankle that used to kill me after walking/standing for 5 minutes, today I walked round Ikea for over 2 hours and not a twinge

 

[ceecie74]

That's exactly what I'm experiencing Butterfly,,,, I keep moving and wait for the pain but it doesn't come!! xxx

Is anyone having back problems since the op? My feet and legs have stopped aching when I'm on the go but my back is giving me real problems, someone said it's my skeleton readjusting after carrying so much weight but I've no idea if this is true

 

[Butterfly_lady]

I did have a spate where I had back ache where it felt like things were adjusting but luckily it didn't last more than a week or so.

 

[ceecie74]

Yes !! I was told the same....change in fat disposition and pressure points. I had a month of achy bum where I felt like there was no fat covering my coccyx!! All ok at the mo thankfully xxx

 

[Tra_cey1969]

Hope mine passes soon but I'm on my feet outside all night at work and I'm popping tramadol like smarties

Your doing amazing and you look amazing! Huge congrats! That cream sounds amazing! X x

I've started swimming 5 times per week,,...I think it's the reason I'm not in pain. I feel stronger and fitter. Try and get moving more Hun but keep it low impact x

Does anyone wear a medical alert bracelet post op? This is mine, I have a card in my wallet to day I'm a bariatric patient, no sugars, no NSAIDS. I ordered it from Amazon it cost £16.99 and I've had a few compliments for it being a nice bracelet!!! Lol x

 

[ceecie74]

I had a lovely surprise from my 4 yr old niece today.... She gave me a necklace she had made "because you are pretty now and look like a princess"!!!!!

BLESS HER!! It felt so good

 

[femfrankie]

On the SOS thing. I carry a card in my wallet. More for the fact of my Asthma though and a couple of medicinal allergies.
