4 months out.
1. Always cold... I used to keep the heat at 18C ... now it's usually at 21C

2. 67pds down I'm now having to buy new stretchy pants since the old ones are huge on me

3. I'm losing my bum completely... I always thought I was one of those girls who had a Kim K bum naturally... I guess only when I'm overweight.

4. Dark circles are my trademark look. I never had them before but I guess being low on nutrients means dark circles

5. Gatorade and ice cold Water go down the easiest.

6. My knees hurt if I don't cuddle a pillow

I hear you!! I went from a 40 G to now 34b in just 9 months! I'm thinking of plastic surgery too but planning on waiting until next summer since I hear if you get plastic and keep losing it's not good.

Your bum looks awesome

Pug butt - hilarious @Czarrina. The bony ass pain does reduce in time. Doesn’t go away but I find mine has definitely reduced in intensity. I still have to do that twist & sit on my hip thing to alleviate the pain but not as often.

Well, after the weight loss, I now have TWO butts! (Or is it four?) LOL
I have my regular flat bum, and then a secondary one that formed just below it, comprised of the excess skin that droops down. When I lay on my back, this lovely skin morphs into my secondary hips. 😂😂😂😂
I’ve contemplated getting it adressed by plastics, but I’m no longer interested as it doesn’t bother me as much anymore. (thiugh this may change in the future, who knows…i’ve seen many a lovely post-plastics a$$es that make me get bum-envy sometimes!)

I always had a butt. When I was in my 20’s and normal weight (150), I actually had a guy, at a club, tell me I had a big butt. It was acknowledged all around that I had a moderately big butt. I figured I would still have a butt after WLS, but I was wrong. 😭 It is gone. I do resistance training specifically to to strengthen, shape, and increase size of said butt, and I think it has helped. I has plastic surgery a month ago including a belt lipectomy in order to get rid of the loose skin on my butt (it was super uncomfortable to sit on). I now have a 20-something year old, tiny butt😂 The struggle is real. I also lost of of my breasts, going from a 40DD to a 34A. My recent plastic surgery fixed that though, with lift and augmentation. Yay for plastic surgery!
Below is my post-plastic surgery butt. I have found it looks best in cheeky bikini bottoms, as the lower part of my butt is the only part with ANY shape. Also shown is my pre-plastics butt, complete with sagging skin. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oh, yeah. The tale of the missing ass. Have you experienced bony ass pain yet? It’s awful. I don’t really have a butt anymore though some of it (the empty loose skin part) droops down the back of my thighs. But as my remaining fat has redistributed (it does start to happen when you’re a few months into maintenance) I think my butt got a little bigger & my bony ass pain isn’t as bad. You could always add some of those exercises to boost your glutes.

Hey everyone, it's been awhile since I last posted. I'm 9m post op and 90 pds down (225 now 135). I'm wearing a size 4 pant and xs tops... but... I've completely lost my bum... even at my smallest, I had a bum..
Is this common?? I'm squatting but my bum is still flopping down
Advice needed!

Im 3.5 months out and although I've never in my life been able to burp loudly there's a constant gurgling sound after I eat or drink now. My surgeon said it can last up to a yr and it's my new stomach learning to push out air.. i don't have any wind at all though

So, I was getting my hair cut today and was talking to the women cutting my hair (not someone I've seen before). We started talking about how there isn't much to do right now because we are still pretty limited. I mentioned I was out hiking yesterday since being outside is one of the things we can do. She said that must be why I'm so skinny I've NEVER, not once before been called skinny...

I lifted my daughter from day 5 on. She's 4 and 36pds. She was able to climb up on the car and climb up in her carseat but it took for ever... I'm impatient so I just did it.

How are all my Sept 2020 friends doing?
My surgeon says I'm reaching his goal too quickly and I need to start bringing up my calories. I've lost 67pds since my surgery Sept 29th and am now 160. (His goal for me was 150).

I'm down 25pds and went from a sz 16 to 12. Thankfully I had saved old clothing from my "skinny" days. I spend most of my work days at home in leggings though so I don't think that my size in those will change for awhile.

Ive lost nearly 40pds since my Sept 29th surgery but still wear my clothes from pre-surgery. They're getting baggier but it's Covid and we're all working from home here so no way am I spending money until I desperately have to!

I've felt super full before and have thrown up a bit but this was my first time fully dumping. I got all the symptoms
*tmi* i was sitting on the toilet with diarrhea while throwing up in the trash can. shakes, flushed, heart rate at 135.
All this because I ate 1 sweet and sour chicken ball and a egg roll. I feel like death.

Oh jees - was it the grease? I thought it was sweets - but I think fat also does it.
I haven't gone for surgery yet. NOv. 19th is my date.
Other than dumping, have you found it ok?

6 weeks post op (30pds down) and I've only taken pain killers 2x total for my joint pain. I used to take pain killers 3x a day and dr was considering cortisone shots.

I'm having huge cravings and the only reason I'm not giving into them is because I don't want to hurt my pouch.
Just had GBS and I'm looking for alternative liquid/puree options for me to get through my favorite comfort food season!
