What are some of your body changes, you have endure since wls. I mean I have the horrible bat wings..the sagging chest...etc.. However I have been in panic mode these last few weeks and running to the doctor because of it...lol First around my collar bone, I felt a bump. My doctor wasnt sure what it was, so he did an xray, found nothing there... still he had wanted a second opinion... Went to get a second opinion and he confirmed no growth was there just part of my collar bone...Secondly I was on the phone and noticed a small lump under my arm pit... I ran to the doctor, and she wanted me to do a mamogram and a ultra sound..She did not believe that it was cancerous but she wanted to know exactly what it was...So yesterday I went to get the test done and everything was fine.. the little lump/ball was a lymph node..Now that I am smaller it seem like I am so in tuned with my body..I notice everrything... What about you guys..I think the fat around my body didnt allow me too. and certain things I didnt even knew exsist...like I have ribs???

I have other health issues so I tend to notice things quickly even pre op.  However, now that everything is closer to the surface I feel and see more and check for anything that's off. 

Yesterday while doing yoga I was shocked to see massive waves of thigh skin all dimpled and falling forward.  Gross to look at but far better than fat.

Hey Wendy !!!

I have had so many " whats that " moments it aint even funny 

After losing 110 lbs and feeling and seeing things we never knew existed...it does kinda blow one's mind.

But I wouldnt trade it for nothing in the world...cause I feel sooo much better.


As Im sure you do too !

 

In life,  and especially on this journey there are sure to be days when you falter and give in.......just remember to never give up.
