@plans4good It's real, and been accompanied by years of therapy and treatment. I still have days where I think 'oh I'm getting fat' or bad thoughts like that, and I don't think eating will ever be something that's easy for me, but I've come really far in my recovery process.

@dawn16 Yes. Had a spinal fusion a week ago.

@allen88 I don't think it's pelvic tilt, but there's not a way to diagnose scoliosis without getting x-rays done. Some people just have small imbalances. For what its worth, I don't think it looks too weird, lol.

@allen88 That's because of my scoliosis. It made me lean to the left, so all of the muscles were kind of pushed over on that side.

@meruru My scoliosis comes from a connective tissue disorder, which means all my joints are fairly loose. I was lifting weights and progressed too quickly, popped it out of socket and messed up all the rotator cuff components. This was over a year ago, but I only started PT for it 6 months ago...

@guyandsell Thank you! 😍

@bmiranda American Eagle 😉

@jasonspence Chronic. That was the main reason for the surgery (besides stopping the progression), hopefully some pain relief.

@earthwatch It says COCO. (An inside message between my mom and I)

@ouranopolis There are dissolvable stitches on the inside of the incision and its also glued shut. I've been cleared to shower and stuff (4 days postop) and I think the stitches will start dissolving around day 10 postop? That's what I was told at least. I'm still super paranoid about it ripping...

@curtswill Thank you 🙂

@cande You're right, its definitely not 100% muscle, obviously. Especially around my hips, but thats also because I haven't worked out my obliques enough, lol. I don't have a way of determining what percentage is muscle, and I'm in no way trying to say that I gained 25 pounds of pure muscle. I...

@brennenstuhl I was a gymnast as a kid, which I think translated over to my skill ability being higher than strength, lol. (Its been 12 years though)

@amodominummusicae Fusion, T9-L4.

@josephecheka Yep, Scoliosis. Glad to hear she is doing well, thanks for the luck!

@marsiay Thank you!

@gbakasa I have had to restrain myself from saying a variation of that. Haha

@dawn16 Lol, thanks!

@jonea Yes, eating was 100% the hardest part. I found mass gainer shakes helped a lot, plus calorie dense foods,, and then I was also put on a medication that upped my appetite some so that helped, lol.

I started doing the recommended routine about 6 months ago, and at the time couldn't do a pushup or a deadhang. For some reason my core has always been super strong though. I've had abs since I was 6. 😄 Due to a shoulder injury my progress was slower than I would've liked (couldn't dead hang...
