I will post some pictures in the future, once everything settles down a little. I'm 15 days post op now and have hit the wall a little after having my stitches out yesterday. Just have to keep telling myself that it's very early days and there is a lot fo swelling going on.
Dog ears are my biggest concern at the moment and I've been doing way too much research on them and looking at photos online. Apparently they happen in 20% of cases and even to the best of surgeons, but I guess I'll just have to be patient.
You've done a great job with the weight loss. Your lucky that you didn't have big love handles like I did. The fat just wouldn't go from some places.
Anyway, sorry about the life story. Good luck with your surgery.
Getting lots of rest at the moment, although it's hard to sit around at home. I try to do a few things in the mornings and rest in the afternoon. Who knows how I'll be after another 2 weeks at home though...scary thought.
It's been great to hear everything you're going through ABSCAPE. I feel much more prepared and also helps to hear of other men going through this. Like yourself, mine has been almost 2 years of exercise, good food and positivity. Now I get to finish it off so that I can look in the mirror and be proud. Went for a run today and thought, soon that jiggly feeling won't be there.
Your looking great ABSCAPE. I only have two days now until my surgery on Monday of next week. I am looking forward to the wait being over and being on the other side of it all.
Very timely re: your latest post ABSCAPE. I decided this week, after being asked so many times about what I was doing on my leave, that I needed a cover. So I contacted my PS and they suggested the Hernia explanation which is what I was also considering.
So now I'm telling people that Hernia surgery is why I'm taking leave. In most cases, if you just say I'm having surgery people will back away. But some people are so inquisitive, it's like they won't be happy until they know every detail. Maybe this week I'll just say it's for a sex change...see how they respond to that.
