What are those hard bumps? OMG they are my ribs!
Just starting in my 12th week postop. Am down 44 pounds and several inches.
Was lying in bed and felt some hard lumpy bumpy areas on my upper torso.. what was it? MY RIBS!!! LOL
its been decades since I could feel my ribs.. and my pelvic crest bone too!
I have dropped 2 shirt sizes (if only the "girls" were smaller I could be down 3 sizes!) and my pants are baggy on me, some look like "Hammer time" pants. Thank gawd for drawstrings on my capris LOL.
I used to be a prime example of a couch potato. I now walk outdoors 5 or 6 days a week 3 to 4 miles each outing, at a brisk pace. Treadmill and elliptical machine indoors on crappy weather days.
I have not had any diabetes medicine since day before surgery, and my blood sugars are now excellent. I used to be on 2 different blood pressure pills daily (for years and years) and now as of yesterday am officially off ALL blood pressure pills as my blood pressure runs around 106/56 and barely more than that after a good exercise workout.
Yesterday I told my GP that I feel about 20 yrs younger than I felt a year ago. He was amazed at my remark but did admit I look younger and much healthier than I was a year ago. I am his first WLS patient. My only regret is.. that I did not have this surgery years ago.
LIFE IS GOOD!
