Bloating, anyone?

Another new SX.

Bloating between the 'girls' and bellybutton.  Not below, but above.  Looks like a wrap-around-about-to-burst ballooon.

It's not painful or too uncomfortable but it sure looks awful!

Anyone else get this inflated appearance in that region while on TX?

Wyntre

Oh, G1A, 32 weeks of 72 week TX.

Yup....just one more week  to go before my last shot and this bloating issue has started.....need to buy a new pair of jeans as its getting more harder to fit in around the waist area..or need to start going on a crash diet!
The strange part is before tx my weight was 162 lbs and now I am 154 lbs....

Wish I could find a guy like that.  Living in L.A., they all like their women skinny.  I just went to a movie theatre and saw an ad on the screen for Tummy Tuck jeans.  I guess there's a girdle built into the jeans.  I never liked those things when we used to have to wear them - I'd rather just not tuck in my blouse.  Now, off to the gym.

I wish it was just my belly...

But my 125 lb hubby (I'm 175 lbs.. LMAO! After tx) tells me he loves my floatation device...

While I feel like Laurel and Hardy --- he's livin' it up with my floaters... LMAO!

Anyhow --- I know what you mean --- it's that place right above the rib cage bottom --- up to mid area... And it almost feels constricting.

I too, joke constantly - because it makes me realize that life is what it is... And laughter makes what it is a lot more fun to deal with.

But I've only got 4 feet of innertubeness - so I'm kinda jealous Jim.

LOL!

that's a good one, guess our mom's just hid it by just wearing girdles, but I'd die from the vapors with those things on...I've always hated panty hose or anything constricting...I don't know if they are even still wearing panty hose? hope not...
