@@shokoh i wish you weren't dealing with these problems good for you on reaching out to OP that's a start i can only imagine how you feel i understand everyone wants/needs to lose weight the necessary hormones made you gain weight? that's a bummer after all your hard work gradually losing weight will help you feel better mentally and physically try not to keep bread etc in the pantry i'm glad you have "some" support OP must walk in your shoes then they will know how the situation feels "maybe" you could find a cancer support group talking about your feelings/sadness helps these people have been there/done that good wishes, thoughts being sent your way kathy 18+ years proud breast cancer survivor

@@Dknal2 i don't think you can prevent the loss of your rear end after/during weight loss, exercise might help improve it if the loss is gonna happen anyways - make funeral plans no hurry on strenuous/any exercise immediately PO YOUR doc will advice you butttttt not every ones tushy is totally gone post WLS (mine went bye bye LOL) squats "sound" on the harder side right after WLS going down, lots of pressure some people get plastics to help give themselves a "lift" LOL good luck next month kathy
