Just general chatting. Been on meds since August 28th 2024, after semi successful WLS in 2017. I am a 56 yr old woman. 5’10 CW 145 +\- SW 235 HW (2017 B4 VGS surgery) 288. Happy as a clam. The FOOD NOISE is mostly gone. The never ending urge to eat eat eat.
Hit my LOW final goal over a year ago. Been trying to reduce my dose. Had to go back up, in part because I was both spacing out and reducing dose in the summer (typical weight gain time for me). I’ll try to drop my dose again shortly-mainly to save money.

Have loose skin everywhere. Annoying. Wish I could get a lift/reduction and a belly tuck! (Booty and bat wings, thighs as well). Honestly, my flapjacks are part of the reason I do not want sexy times with anyone. I’m also post menopausal, over the drama and disruptions of my peace, and this medication DOES affect my libido.

Thinking I need to just save for tattoos of my upper flabby arms (it is literally a visual trick!) Inked skin hides creepy skin.
Should weight train. “Tomorrow” :)

one major change that I have done is I’ve gone to thrift stores and bought dresses that are mini dresses or whatever and I don’t care if a bra would show. I just don’t wear one! I’m from the generation of your boobs need to be perky and up, and then go through a nightmare of undergarments to try to achieve that effect.
I wore a cute mini red halter dress to a party the other night with no bra which means my flapjacks are halfway to my waist lol and I still looked smoking.
I do think I look slightly older because I’ve lost weight, but I’ve just got a lot of skin but oh well I feel better. My KNEES and back are thanking me.
The main thing I do is I watch my carbs. A lot. Usually in the morning, I skip breakfast and I’ll just have a couple bites of leftovers from the night before before and I drink my coffee. A light snack in the afternoon saving, my main meal for dinner. I will eat anything I want, but make good choices.
For me, even ON meds, as soon as I turn that food faucet on, it’s over (hence the delay in eating). I still struggle daily. The longer I can prolong my first food of the day the better off I am.
sneaky carbs (soda, juice, breaddd) is what makes my weight go up. This month alone I have literally gone up and down 9 pounds…carbs!
One thing I find annoying is that I’ve gotten sometimes negative comments about my weight, but y’all weren’t that concerned when I was obese? I don’t hide my GLP1 use from anyone (except my son for a specific reason). No shame in my game. I hope my body continues to respond to this medication. The reduction in sexy drive is worth the reduction in appetite. I feel SO free not being tortured by the non-stop noise!

A double powerhub 1800 by Xantrex. The date is 2010. Yes, 2010. Been unplugged for about two years now .
A ProWatt SW 1000 by Xantrex. A whole crate of wiring. The instruction manuals. Three or four older solar panel panels. A MPPT Solar Charge Controller.

This was owned by my stepfather. He is long gone. It has been unplugged for about two years. I don’t know the value, but I’m not desperate to get it out of here. I wanna sell it for a reasonable price.

I’m not gonna sell it to a garage sale and I’m not gonna sell it on eBay. Just a normal door pick up in the Dallas Fort Worth area.

This was my stepfather’s. He’s long gone. I’ve just been letting it sit. It has not been turned on in a few years. I’m not trying to sell it here fyi (in case this is a rule).
I’m literally trying to find somebody to tell me what I should sell it for.
As you can see, I believe it is a double power hub 1800.
A massive box of wires that attached to the four solar panels in my window (disconnected)
A MPPT solar charge controller.
A Xantrex power watt SW 1000
If there’s something else that goes with it, it’s around here as well.

I guess I could plug it in, but I don’t know what I’m looking at. I know that after my stepfather passed it started beeping and I couldn’t figure out how to get it to stop and my Brother said he would look at it next time he came………
(I found the manuals later)

I am in Dallas Texas. I need to sell it and I haven’t the Phoenix idea what to sell it for I’m gonna sell it on FBMP not eBay or anything like porch pick up.

Any advice?

I’m in Texas. I’m a teacher. (So off work June and July.) Every summer I have great plans and it’s too hot. I need to move. Looked at cost of living in states like Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington….hahahaha. The south to humid. My dad‘s in Virginia too many ticks. Eternally regretting not getting my grandparents house in Milwaukee. It was massive. It was beautiful. It was central and it’s worth more than mine in Austin now.
I took my camping stuff outside yesterday cause I’m about to have an estate sale and there’s stuff that needs to be sorted through.. I went out this morning to fill up the double inflatable kayak im gonna sell and check my air mattresses and the humidity and heat drove me right back inside…
I’m almost in tears. I just can’t do it. I’m 56. This sucks.
