I know it is way too soon for this to be bothering me, but it is. My shirts are all way too big, except the sleeves are still snug against all my extra skin. I have always had disproportionately large upper arms, and the weight I've lost seems to have come from my arms (probably muscle because I haven't been able to swim yet). So I haven't been able to drop down to smaller shirts, like I have everything else. So the front of my shirts look baggy and sloppy, the sleeves look tight, and my arms look disgusting, with the skin hanging below my elbows.
I wish the weather would cool off enough to wear sweaters, but I am not even sure they will fit my arms.
I see my surgeon tomorrow and hope to get permission to start swimming again. Hopefully I will be able swim at the Y, not sure what the restrictions are now. Also not sure with my current blood pressure issue if I will be able to swim.
Anybody else get this bothered by arms this early in the process? I know it seems silly.
